I have seen a lot of fits and advice involving fancy faction ammo but I am curious as to what kind of ammo you guys are taking into run of the mill, easy to tank 3's and 4's. The reason I ask is I am totally stuck on the hybrid iron/antimatter. I'm either kiting at max range or up close and personal trying to max dps. I am not really seeing much use for all these other ammo types.
When would the situation call for....thorium ammo? lead instead of iron?

Oh.....um....what kind of blaster/arty/autocannon ammo do you guys/gals use?
Its all the same more or less. Range/damage that slides from one extreme compromise to the other. Carburized lead/emp ammo (I think) and radio/multifrequency when I pew pew with the LaZZ0rz.
Just wondering what is the real application of these middle of the road ammos? Do you guys like.....match the optimal to your sensor range and then carry only one type? Do you switch through 3 tiers....starting iron/carb lead/radio then going to ???/???/??? (i dont know their names off the top of my head) and finally going to anti/emp/multi?

Originally by: Avo Daith Wait: You're Caldari and using guns for missions? Heavy missiles every time for me, fire and forget. Why would you bother with the hassle of guns? Or drones as above, if you must.
Well, I am caldari but I fly all gallente ships...I fell in love with the designs and the caldari ships are sooooo asymettrical. They annoy me to look at. Moa...bleh!
My drone skills are still tech1 so the guns are still better. But these post confirm what I thought. The interrim ammos are useless in the face of iron and antimatter.

Originally by: Istvann As a Minmatar, I use all 3 sizes of EMP, Fusion, Phased Plasman, and Titanium Sabot...depending on the type of ships I am going against. They have the best damage, though lowest range of their damage type. I do the same thing with light, heavy, cruise missiles, torpedos, and all 3 sizes of drones. I recently added Webifier drones to my arsenal. Has made missioning with my maelstrom much easier.
Basically I refit my BS for each mission based on Eve Survival guide information. I would love to cut down on the number of stuff I keep stocked, but hadn't really narrowed things down enough to do so.
Yeah, it makes a lot more sense for missles and arty ammo types since the damage changes....less for hybrids because that ammo only modifies ranges.
Once I moved up to the heavier guns, I found that only antimatter made sense. The iron didnt do enough damage to make it worthwhile and the antimatter covered most of the distance out to the edge of my targeting range. I thought of carrying more types but that stuff is huge! Just gobbles up the cargohold and I need that for loot and salvage.
