If you look at the table on
Spaceships, p.58 you can see that each level of rapid fire gives x10 as many shots per turn as the last. As the 'Weapons in Ordinary Combat' box (p.66) does not mention any adjustments to RoF when switching to normal GURPS combat, most people assume that the RoF for a 20-second space combat turn would apply.
I choose to assume that the actual rate of fire is 1/10th as much as that, so normally a spaceship weapon fires once per 10 standard turns, in order to make spaceship weapons a bit less apocalyptic and more in line with the performance of
Ultra-Tech's weapons.
