I can't find information that explicitly says "Artemis IV weighs this many tons". I can't find it anywhere. Not even in TechManual, let alone the wiki, and I can't find the information on Artemis V's weight in Tactical Operations.

You'd think information as important as equipment tonnage would be more readily available!

Edit: Okay, I found the information I was looking for, but it was a tedious affair.
Let it be known to us commoners that an Artemis-IV FCS adds exactly 1 Ton, or 1000 kilograms, to a compatible missile launcher, whereas an Artemis-V FCS adds exactly 1.5 Tons. This really needs to be put up on the wiki.

Artemis IV is listed with the associated weapon in Tech Manual's heavy weapon equipment tables. For example, the IS LRM 5 with Artemis IV is 3 tons, the LRM 10 with Artemis IV is 6 tons, etc.

Artemis V is listed on the heavy weapons table of Tact Ops as a separate item, complete with tonnage and crits.

Think of Artemis not like an item unto itself but rather an upgraded missile launcher.

Still, the wiki should be updated to specify how much weight it adds to a launcher >.<
