Slots are not static, especially now that they included low slot number in higher level sectors. In fact slot numbers is the single most important factor deciding (fighter) damage when creating from a turret, it divides by slots and multiplies by .3
I would highly suggest it to be included, you could have a 10k dps weapon producing 200dps fighters after burst fire calculations with a 2k dps weapon producing 600dps fighters.
As of now the DPS tooltip in vanilla only serves as a very inaccurate estimation.
