Caldari Navy Antimatter and Federation Navy Antimatter charges should be harmonized, along with all the rest of the hybrid charges to just Navy Antimatter, etc.

Think of the world we would be living in if, instead of navy cap charges, there were four varieties which were functionally the same item?

Why do the Caldari get access to Hybrid charges in their LP store, but Minmatar doesn't get access to missiles?

Missiles were never the Minmatar's secondary weapon system until the last few years. They didn't have any hulls bonused for them until tiericide.

Previously Amarr had more missile bonused hulls and Minmatar had better drone bays. That is why you still see anomalies like the sacrilege in the Amarr line up.

The LP store is still a relic from the past.


Iirc the Typhoon was bonused for projectiles AND missiles. I think the Huginn too. This was before tiericide. I think that's it though.

Yes thats true, Typhoon had the split weapon bonus along with the scythe FI, and huginn was missiles until very recently (forgot about that one). Minmatar was well known for having split weapon systems, even the Naglfar.

Tiericide streamlined a lot of things though (a lot of people complained about loss of flavour at the time).


There were multiple Minmatar hulls with missile bonuses, though they were always split. A lot of Minmatar ships also had multiple utility highs and unbonused launcher slots and decent drone bays. Tiericide was a mixed blessing - a lot of fairly crappy ships became not crap (which was great), but at the same time a lot of flavor and versatility was lost (through loss of unbonused hardpoints and utility slots and homogenization of attributes like speed, agility, sig radius, etc.). This didn't just affect Minmatar, though since I was mainly flying Minmatar at the time it seems/seemed to me that they were hit the hardest.

The only Amarr hulls with missile bonuses are/were Khanid ships. The launcher slots on the Armageddon and Prophecy kind of came out of nowhere during Tiericide, though I'm not complaining about that.

Drones as Amarr's secondary weapon was also mainly a Fozzie invention - they were only ever bonused on Arbitrator-based hulls before.

Oh, also to the people linking faction FOF missiles - check the market on them, they're expensive as hell because they were removed from LP stores 4-5 years or so ago. I don't know why.

Probably Grath Telkin.
