So why is it the Minmatar, the race with the most selection of ammo types, is restricted to EMP orbital ammo? I mean lasers only do thermal, so that makes sense, and same for gallente, but Minmatar got the short end of the stick when it comes to orbital support. |

Capacity to nuke and overload all of the equipment and shields of targets in the massive vicinity of the OB radius. That sounds very viable to me.
Viable? Come on, the Minmatar's favorite ammo according to the game is Depleted Uranium, it makes no sense why the Minmatar wouldn't use a more lethal round on the planet than EMP.
Obviously nuclear is greatly exaggerated, obviously these nuclear rounds aren't doing as much damage in eve a you are worried they would do in dust.
I'm simply debating the fact that (if not all races) minmatar should have more selection in the ammo type they provide for orbital. They need to rethink orbital ammo and make it universal across the board, probably could add a module specifically for orbital strikes, That would still give my thrasher it's guns plus I could swap the turret with the ob mod. |

I'm truly at a loss for words right now.
Out of all the post you could be commenting on that is more relevant to you, you decide to choose this and that comment?
I'm not at all for a loss of words. Here I am advocating for some EVE side stuff. You want to complain about weapons and nerfing etc, go for it. No one is stopping you. I'm pushing for more reasons for me to get involved with one universe//one war. |

OK, so I think anyone can get on board the idea of a universal highslot OB module that allows you to switch ammo types to provide the necessary strike, rather than the current mechanics of using your turrets and being limited to one type of ammo.
And anyone who says add all types of turrets, that's not viable for pvp or anything for that matter. |

I very rarely see depleted uranium in the warzone. EMP tends to be what I see most off, and what I loot most of wrecked vessels.
Of course all races should have more choice in Ammo types but then again so far CCP has more important things to work on, that worrying about turret types on EVE ships considering only a very small player base of EVE pilots even care about us.
I can fly an races Destroyed to Tech II with turrets and ammo..... it didn't take that long to train.
Under descriptions of ammo depleted uranium is the most popular. EMP is not what I see the most of, as a minmatar PVP pilot, it's phased plasma, fusion, or barrage, maybe titanium sabot for frigs if I am flying a bigger ship. EMP is rarely used by PVP pilots since it's really only good against shields anyway. Phased Plasma mimics lasers and hybrid turrets in the sense it is thermal and kinetic, hence why people use it more than EMP. |

The thing is the Minmatar EMP Orbital strike is a viable strike, IT TAKES OUT SHIELDS AND EQUIPMENT, that means....
No more uplinks
No more nanohives
No more player shields
No more vehicle shields
But you're complaining because it doesn't "kill" like the other orbital strikes.
Essentially yes, I think there should be more variety and people shouldn't be limited to one type of strike. If a Dust merc needs a different type of support, he should be able to communicate that to an eve pilot who should be able to change ammo and fire.
Sorry that I was racial specific in minmatar only, this should apply to all races. |

Right well thank you all, it's been very useless, note to self, next time just bring up the idea of an orbital bombardment module that extends to all races and can swap out ammo. If you think the idea of being able to receive support from your EVE side in whatever type of OB you need at the time is a dumb idea, then you are all idiots. |
