Ships & Modules

Null is pretty good. I don't know that it was ever bad, really.

It can be very good against same size targets, against smaller its ofcourse rather useless but with the tracking boost to blastesr themselves, the negative tracking from void is now negated by that pretty much.

So in essence, your voids hit as well as ur antimatter did before incarna. (this is a bit less tracking really but not much)

Isn't that how you're SUPPOSED to do it in Gallente ships?

So the reload time has been deceased since incarna ?

Blaster "base" tracking has been increased, and Void tracking penalties have been decreased.
The overall effect, brings the tracking with Void to similar levels than the Pre-Nerf AM, comes with a decent optimal range advantage over AM, and a decent DPS increase.

I actually use Void as standard ammo on my small/med blaster ships now. I haven't flown the Naga or the Talos much yet, but I cannot see why I wouldn't use void on those instead of AM.

Despite large blasters getting a little more tracking they are still large turrets and most targets are BC or smaller, so I wouldn't recommend void for the new BCs. Particularly since they are faster than BS and so are better at screwing their own tracking.

Having said that, I totally agree that for small and medium blasters Void is the default ammo now.

If you are flying solo or with only a few chums (in which case why did you think a fat-ass blaster ship was a good idea ?) then you might not want to use void, but pretty much any gang with more than 5 guys in it should be able to toss a couple of webs and a scram on the primary. I mean seriously. How terrible is your gang if you don't manage three tackle mods on 5 ships.

Without being tackled... well... If the other guy isn't tackled you aren't going to get into blaster range at least not quickly. Blaster ships are pretty slow, and most every pvp ship is faster than you, or at least about the same speed. So if its not held down then not only if your gang terrible, but you are going to do very low damage and thats not to do with tracking.

Essentially, for small and medium blaster boats, void is rocking. Does great damage, use it with confidence. BS sized is less good, because their tracking is terrible anyway, but still.

Edit-

Also, blaster ships are high damage ships. That's their job. They do bigger dps than the others in their class. If you are going to bring them, you should be bringing as much damage as you can to the field, because otherwise you may as well have brought lasers of ACs because they have better utility.

The difference in damage is like 10%, in essence as good as a third damage mod or rig. Use it. Love it.

On these forums, a good rule of thumb appears to be 'assume everyone's an idiot'. I have never had occasion to change that.
