If im running in anomalies hordes/sanctums/havens in a mach, with t2 large auto-cannons, is it worth the cost to switch from t1 EMP L to faction or t2 hail ammo?

I like to have my cake and eat it too

No. The Mach eats through ammo like an addict goes through lines of coke.

The ROF is so high that there is no time saved by popping a rat one cycle sooner - if that even happens in the first place.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Some faction or T2 short range ammo in cargo can't harm, just in case some ugly Loki decides to uncloak and feel the pain.Lol

If an ugly Loki uncloaks next to you, I'm not sure you are going to be better off waiting 10 seconds to start switching ammo.

QFT but some barage for when you want to whittle down the field from 100km+ away with your close range turrets is not a bad idea...
