Edited by: Free Folen on 22/05/2009 07:45:06 am doing mission with a drake looking at sites i can find what type of rates am gonna face and what's there weakness but drake has bonus to kinetic dmg should i change missile types for each mission or use kinetic for all and the drake bonus will cover the difference
p.s: 1)i have lvl 4 BC and i use 2 low slot missiles dmg/fire rate thingies and use limous missile launcher 2) i have 30k for each kind of missile by dabbling in production for fun
thanks in advance

You should change missile types according to what mission you are running

False.
You should look at one of several mission guides and see what the rats' resistances are. Then you can decide if it's worth losing the damage bonus to use rat-specific ammo.
I don't fly a Drake, but I've heard that for the majority of missions it's better just to use kinetic. Of course, when you shouldn't use it, you REALLY shouldn't. So check those guides.

With L4 BC, it's EM (Thunderbolt) for sansha/drones/bloods, Kin (Scourge) for everything else.

Fire it at a crowd and it will detonate on the 1st pagan it finds...
Ok seriously back to the OP: I always use scourge heavies unless it's sansha or the likes and i switch to thunderbolts.

This. Even with BC5 it's a close call, but generally the EM missiles will give you a slight advantage over kinetics against Sansha.

The determiners here are your level of BC skill, and the "native" resistances of your targets.
At BC 4, your Kinetic bonus damage is enough to allow you to use Kinetic against everything EXCEPT eliete rats, who you're still better off using race-specific on. Elite rats have higher base resists than normal rats do, so their extra resistance to Kinetic may be enough to offset your Kinetic bonus. ALso, when a rat's ECM resistance is lowest it generally has VERY high kinetic resists, so use EM on the EM "hole" that Sanshas/EOM/drones have.
AT BC 5, you can use Kinetic on everything save Sansha/EOM/Drones to good effect, as your damage bonus is enough to "overwhelm" most elite rats' extra resistance.
Also, in level 3 missions Mercenaries have a weakness to EM, in lvl 4s their weakness is more Thermal, so don't think that just because a rat is one way currently, that it'll remain that way forever...
