Here is an idea id like to shop out here for some input. Let me know if this is repeated somewhere else.

Ive come to the notion that pirate faction ammo should be updated with a possible reasoning being the criminals of times past. Usually tactics conducted my pirates or bandits we not safe usually bordering on high risk/high reward, while most military tactics tend fudge more on safety or at least more safe than not. Also pirate faction ammo is little more than an odd ammo to get once in awhile, maybe if i find it in a drop ill use it or leave it in my hanger with the slave girls, booze and melted snowballs of years past.

So my proposal is this, make pirate faction ammo more powerful but at the same time hazardous to use. The effect on the guns/missile modules would be like overheating only there would be a percentage of possible damage done to a weapon mod that could be repaired with nanite repair paste later. This could be stacked with overheating only again at the pilots peril if the engagement takes too long.

This would bring pirate faction prices up and give it more of a special place in the game. Feed back is welcome. Cheers

t2 ammo used to have penalties to using it.

Hardly anyone used it.

Pirate ammo comes in two flavors. Ones worse than the navy version, and one is better.

Paramilitary forces tend to have lower-quality munitions than their military counterparts.

Well could have pirate ammo increase the overheat dmg when overheating weapons perhaps but with a far higher dmg output from guns compared to t2 ammo Twisted
As it is right now mot ammo is pretty bland and you end using 2 or 3 types of ammo when flying gallente anyways.

Yeah added overheat damage was more the direction i was looking at.
