I came across some unpublished entries for a third Tech 2 gun ammo choice for each weapon system.

Found here: http://eve-online.itemdrop.net/eve_db/items/charge/
Just check the Advanced ammunition categories.

I'm assuming they were removed long ago before my time. Were they unbalanced, or useless, or were they never in fact ever added to the game?

First I've heard of this item but it seems to among the stuff that didn't make the cut. Just to be clear, I don't think this third t2 ammo type ever actually existed in game and thus was never removed. It appears to be an item CCP was working on but decided for whatever reason not to release. Many items and changes meet similar fate.

I'm a glutton for pointless variety and fluff, so I'd have liked to see them added, just so I have another choice of something to shoot at people. I didn't see anything particularly useful about any of them though, except that explosive damage laser crystal.

Never heard of them in game before, I doubt they have been. Probably made a brief appearance on the Test Server. I have seen the info on them though.

Shame, I would have loved to role with Blaze and Desolation Ammo.

Especially Blaze, Standard Ammo Range, No Tracking Penalty, 84.4% Explosive Dmg, T1 Multi-Frequency Damage.

That is Sexy.

I want to see harmless ammunition. Like target practice ammo. Don't ask why... I just want to fly around and scare indy pilots with a sudden maelstrom broadside..... OF FOAM BULLETS.

Well a 3ed T2 that dose off damage would make sense as that's it own specialty.
Test/dumb rounds would be fun, doubly so if they still did "non-lethal"damage so you could tell if you did enuff to destroy them.

I have always felt that there should be another ammo type for lasers and hybrids which would enable them to do other damage types than their standard em/ther or ther/kin. missiles and projectiles can cover all types so why not lasers and hybrids?

Lasers can switch crystals and have infinite T1 ammo so why not projectiles and hybrids?

They're not new.

They were made when CCP were first working on the T2 ammo.

I certainly remember people being excited about Blaze crystals and their explosive damage back in the day, although, it does seem as if the names might have changed.

Snowballs.

There's a reason CCP took them out of the game :P

What if I include flashlights for lasers turrets, foam missiles, and rubber hybrid charges?

They'd have tiny range and damage, but would append a giant HAW HAW! in bold, red letters to every kill-mail you get with 'em.

You really don't understand balance do you?
