you chose EM because sansha incursion npcs are omni tanked?


Except for the bombers.

The thinking behind EMP was the spread of damage across EM/EXP/KIN whereas the other ammo types only cover two types. Granted the difference is small 41.4/9.2/4.6/0 for EMP and 0/0/9.2/46 for Phased Plasma so it seemed like a better choice, although it probably doesn't make a bit of difference, and standardizing for fleets keeps the confusion at a minimum.

Edit; I could have sworn the EMP had a better shield damage mod when we picked it two years ago, but memory fades and now I just don't know.


EMP was chosen from when people didn't understand the difference and most were too complacent to bother changing as the difference only mattered in kundalini sites, also EMP was a bit cheaper that the other two options.

Possibly, but with the new drone changes and new drone mods, it just might be feasible.

Someone should do an all Torps fleet and run the same site with one damage type at a time.
Time everything and compare.

This and other similar, less extreme measures have been done.

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

Drailen the Developer for Eve-HQ made a CLA (Combat Log Analyser) that we dropped about 200 log files in with respect to the ammo type, pilot skills, ship type and FC, after reviewing them (Granted this was almost two years ago) we came to the current meta of ships and ammo that seemed to work best.

A recent E-mail from him (Drailen) he was thinking of releasing a new version with the next Eve-HQ update, I would say anyone that wants to re-run logs with new data, should. Who knows, the power creep that is ever present in EVE might have made its way through without anyone noticing.

But I don't think so. (Been wrong before, so it wouldn't be the first time)

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.
