I'm going to assume they are NPC-only flavors of ammo specifically added to make coding stuff simpler.

I'm almost sure that NPCs don't really have fittings, ammo or whatever else besides model(s) used, end stats and loot tables. I think that "coding stuff simplier" is well achieved with this approach.

On a side note, I found it funny trying to imagine physics behind Storm and Shock Smile

I'm pretty sure Entity has some Blaze.

Crikey, I just about remember those extra ammo types.

I remember them being on Sisi for a bit, don't recall them ever hitting TQ though, and if they did, it would have been so long ago that they were pre-invention I think.

If it did hit TQ, it was probably by accident and not for long at all.

Where's the severe drawbacks for projectiles?Roll

wanna compare void to hail?



Hail

Void

List

3 out of top 5 are projectile weapons, 1 hybrid

5 out of top 10 are projectile weapons, 2 hybrid

Blasters are OP...or not

Those are old ammo.....

Really if they did bring them back it would ruin a lot of the 'flavour'. I wish people would stop wanting every weapon system to be able to do everything else that other weaposn can do.

Projectiles =/= Hybrids =/= lasers =/= missiles.

This is part of the fun knowing how each works and what advantages/disadvantages they have and how to apply them to the best effect.

or we could just give all ships a gun that does x damage, y tracking and has z range....woopie f'king doo!!! this is not an FPS please don't inflict that upon my beloved EVE!!!

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

The kinetc & thermal is the reson why blasters and rails are terrible en winmatar is winmatar

Winmatar can % apply more damage (due most ships have em or explo holes) with better benefist (range ect) than Gallent who does % less dps and worse range off all

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

Yeah but Gallente are completely op in scram/web range, don't forget it.

Actually Gallente are op because you DON'T want to get in to said OP range. Calamari with less paper DPS are overall far more dangerous imho. (tons of nagas/rokhs and not the other way around)

Well, Test/Goon are throwing each other Thoraxes&Caracals alike at each one's face for lulz and giggles, in one month everyone will say those are op.

Whatever.
