There's a great deal of prototype devices out there in EVE, you just need to know where to look and what to kill ;)
I was thinking, why don't the Devs put in prototype ammo? Medium Antimatter Hybrid ammo very powerful but it has a range "bonus" of -60% A prototype version could have a smaller range penalty and maybe a little more damage. There could also be prototype ammo BP's since, unlike other devices, ammo is a consumable.
Anybody have any thoughts or ideas on this? |

I dont' think there should be BP's out for a prototype item. It's a prototype after all and not a finished product.
The prototype ammo would be neat, but it would have to be specific to the weapon. If you have Prototype 250 Gauss Anti M Ammo, it could only be used in a 250 Prototype Gauss weapon and in no other weapon. That would make finding some a rare treat and a valuable commodity to sell.
I have seen many a game get ruined because people always want bigger, stonger, more devastating weapons. Eventually, that is all that will be used. Everyone forgets tactics when they see that the BFG 9,000 is a weapon option.

Realistically, how can an ammunition be a prototype? The gun is made to shoot a specific type of ammo, not the other way around. You don't get a railgun and try and make projectile ammo fit into it, you use hybrid charges that the gun was made to fit.

My whole reasoning was this:
There are prototype guns out there if you kill the right pirates. If there were to be a Prototype Ammo, it would have to have been made in conjunction with said gun. Therefore, the gun can use any ammo but, the ammo can only be used in a certain gun.
Bullets go through prototype phases, too. You think the tapered bullet was just made one day? No, it was a tweaked design and was a prototype until it was learned that it worked a whole lot better.
Anything Prototype should be damn hard to find and should never be on the market as a BP.

I agree with Caliban.
And the damage-output from turrets in the game is already far to big compared to missiles/drones.
