It is often said that "hybrids suck because they don't have selectable damage types". True, shooting at a resist hole makes sense, but what if the pilot has plugged his T1 resist hole?<br /><br /> I claim that antimatter has the best damage profile against both proper T1 shield and armour tanks.asdfgh88https://www.blogger.com/profile/03676689985694773930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-41190602528658300482011-09-23T09:54:58.180-05:002011-09-23T09:54:58.180-05:00Nice post, between the previous one and this one t...Nice post, between the previous one and this one that's a pretty good explanation of turrets and damage. <br />What I would really like to see now is an explanation of what it all means. <br /><br />OK, so damage is fairly straightforward as is optimal and falloff (if you know what they mean, have you covered optimal and falloff? you probably have but it always seems to be a massive source of confusion to newer players) but I've never really got tracking. <br />I know roughly what it means, that its about the turrets ability to "track" an object moving across their field of fire and that the better your tracking the faster these objects can be moving and you can still hit them. But I have no real idea how the tracking attribute attached to the turrets apply when it comes to shooting down that pesky frigate orbiting me.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027837563512167411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-48598022931837164272011-09-23T08:57:56.527-05:002011-09-23T08:57:56.527-05:00"This would seem to imply that I somehow forg..."This would seem to imply that I somehow forgot that guns shoot things in EVE, but I assure you this isn't the case."<br /><br />Just an additional note, this was never implied, I was quite sure you considered it.<br />I was half expecting a small footnote on ammo amplifying the weaknesses of some weapon systems, and since there was none, I made it in the comments.<br />That was the original intention of my comment. :)<br /><br />P.S.<br />And yes, no need to make part 3 of the discussion bringing tank into play.<br /><br />Because then we would also have to discuss the SP needed to use that one drone compared to no skill for the rifter. And the fact that that neut can shut down the DPS. And that drones can be killed with graphs showing the DPS over time for both ships... ;) And we are looking at a 8 part series on weapon balance. :>foksieloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006950881104789119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-7948253086938075172011-09-23T08:51:39.683-05:002011-09-23T08:51:39.683-05:00I would like to add that you do not really notice ...I would like to add that you do not really notice the issue with null, until you move up to medium size weapons (which I agree was not part of your first analysis).<br /><br />Thats why most pilots [weasel words][citation needed] agree that small blaster ships are very good.<br /><br />Also with those fits, the dps is simmilar, but the rifter can opt for a much stronger tank due to fitting requirements.[1] ;)<br /><br />[1] http://evefng.blogspot.com/2011/09/everything-you-never-asked-to-know.htmlfoksieloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006950881104789119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053386274430600888.post-88381647633391844282011-09-23T08:12:38.232-05:002011-09-23T08:12:38.232-05:00A nice bit of analysis, im not sure whether it hol...A nice bit of analysis, im not sure whether it holds true for medium and larger hulls. Purely because the extra drone damage isn't so pronounced or not able to put its damage onto your opponent quick enough to make up the difference in turret dps.<br /><br />Will also have to say that small blasters are fantastic weapons.Korg Tronixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832163287395689796noreply@blogger.com
