Trying things out.

The best armor set in basic Starbound provides +200% damage. I've currently got 250% total, with a Densinium armor set from Frackin' Universe, plus another +11% bonus as an Arachne wielding this weapon type, and I'm fighting my way through the Precursor ruins mission in it.

The damage I'm dealing feels okay. Sometimes a little strong, but these are Axiom Verge's damage values. It seems good.
