So how do I find out how much DPS I put out, I've heard of Combat log readers, but could someone explain how I find out?

Actually I think one could cover the combat log reader in more detail. There was a good post about it on the German forums, but I don't remember the link right now (and it wouldn't help the OP if he doesn't speak English).

Very briefly:
The thread above mentions this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2g4f4e8ikymq03i/CombatLogReader_java.zip?dl=0

Following that link you can download a ZIP archive that contains the combat log reader. The Zip-File must be extracted. The folder you extract the Zip File into will contain a .jar file.
If you have Java 7 or higher installed, double-clicking on it should start the combat log reader.

The combat log reader reads combat log files that the game client for Startrek Online can produce. It normally doesn't. Enter "/combatlog 1" in chat to start logging, and "/combatlog 0" to stop logging. The log file is created in a subfolder of the installation folder, for example something like:
C:\Users\Public\Games\Cryptic Studios\Star Trek Online\Live\logs\GameClient
The Combat Log Reader needs to be told where this file can be found and then it will start parsing the information.

I think the OP can read a thread.

I find it useful to delete the log (or save it somewhere else if you want to keep it) after each engagement. I let it run one night over 3 engagements, and when I went to parse it the 70 mb log file took a couple hours to parse.

read through 50k+ lines of combat log data, add up the sum total of all the damage you did, divide that by the number of lines of damage that stated you did damage, then divide that number by the ellipse amount of seconds that pasted between combat started and when combat ended to get your dps value.

or....


look at the damage flyby numbers and take and avg.

Oh my...

Almost five years of playing, and I think my average is about 1K by looking at the numbers flying by.
(and NO, I don't fly a Rainbow-Boat)

That's just sad

you also need to figure out what you want the data for. A lot of ICE parses for example are "showoff" dps numbers where people shoot the structures (before they can really be hurt) to keep the #s high. A lot of parses are in target heavy areas where aoe dps is insane. I would say at least 3/4 of the numbers ppl post are under idealistic conditions of a good group in a target heavy aoe environ.
