Ok, ill try to explain.
Blasters shoot condensed plasma balls. These balls are also spun at incredible speeds by magnets. They are spun so fast that the plasma starts to condense more. *gravity?* once all of this is done the plasma ball is released at it target. What causes them to disperse is that the plasma eventuially loses energy in its self and it's spin. when it loses spin seed it loses it compact state and begins to disperse. Once it starts to lose its spin it will lose heat rapidly. By that point it will ether return to its gas state and disperse, or lose so much energy that it wont do damage.
*this has less of an effect in space, as there are no resistors that can hamper the plasma. The only way it can lose energy is by radiating its heat.*
Kinetic weapons use bullets like us, But waaaaaay better. Even tho that they are super advanced versions of our bullets they still have there faults. Our super advanced armor is incredible at protecting us from the environment and other weapons. With that said, There bullets need alot of energy to do any real damage. Once shot they will start to lose energy due to resistance from gravity and the atmosphere. Once the energy is low enough they wont be able to do any real damage. after a while they will lose enough energy that they will simply fall to the ground..
*this dose not apply in space. As space dose not have anything that can resist the bullet, unless it hits something of course.*
Laser weapons are the only thing I can say are kinda silly with there range. Light is fast and can travel light years before loseing energy. The only thing I can say to make any sense of the max range is they the Amarr developed a special high energy laser that packs a punch, but loses its energy quickly. The minimum range is kinds hard to explain. Simply, the longer the beam of light. the more energy it has.
Scrambler rounds are just like lasers. They shoot a super energised beam of light at there target. This beam of light is so strong that it turns the atmosphere around it into a plasma state. Due to its high energy it loses it just as fast as it gains it.
*If this were to be shot at a aircraft carrier. it could shoot straight through it.*
Forge gun rounds are very cool. they shoot a very small super energised slug at very high speeds. The electricity arcing out of it is because this slug is pumped so full of energy that it is expelling alot of it out as electricity. After being shot they will start to expell there energy. if they do not meet there mark ,hit anything, the will lose too much energy to support its solid state and explode, but will still have enough energy to explode. Instead of piercing the target, like most people think they do, they simply explode on contact. This happens because it has so much energy, alot of it is kinetic, that once it hit something. all that energy will want to escape causing a huge explosion. Only reason that the energy dose not escape when the slug is traveling is because it is being burned off as kinetic energy faster than it can explode outwards on its own.
*this still applies in space.*
Railguns are the same things as forge guns, but they shoot a bigger, lower energy slug. Railguns shoot slugs incrediably fast, and accurately. All do damage the same way as forge guns, but railguns have more of a piercing effect and less of an explosion.
Missles fly around and hit things, then they explode. They auto detonate when they run out of fuel.
Artillery, mass drivers atm, shoot dumb fire explosives. They auto detonate after a certen time to dispose of rounds that do not explode on contact.
CCP! if I missed something let me know!
