Is there a way to find out what primary type of damage is being used against you?
Thanks

Bone, i've been asking the same question...
i suppose they found out by trial and error... (eg, put on a themal hardener, take 50 damage, put on a em hardener and take only 40 damage from same rat)
honestly i have no idea, but REALLY want to find out

it's easy actually.
- Lasers ALWAYS do EMP and thermal, only difference the crystal makes is the % difference between EMP and thermal.
- projectiles MOSTLY do Kinetic and Explosive, but one ammo type also adds EMP damage
- Hybrids do Kinetic and Thermal
- missiles can be anything
You can generally see by the color of the laserbeam/ammostream what type of ammo is used, missiles you can see/hear on detonation which type it is.
Have a look here and goes through all the ammo types to get a good idea of the difference between ammotypes, range and damagemopdifiers.

i was thinking more along the NPC damage types. also the damage you need to use to best damage them...
how to figure this out ingame, without having to look at database extracts etc. (which seems like cheating to me)

Phased Plasma also does mostly thermal.
Projectiles can basically do any damage type you want them to.

Hells yeah. I keep 4 ammos in my station container for my rifter: EMP S: 5em 4ex 2kn (Blood/Sansha) Fusion S: 8ex 2kn (Angel) Phased Plasma S: 2kn 8th (Amarr, Ammatar, Mercs) Titanium Sabot S: 6kn 3ex (Gurista)

All I know, and base my attacks on, are that:
1) Caldari prefers shields, Amarr prefers armor. Don't know about Gallente and Minmatar. 2) Shields take better damage from EM and Thermal, armor takes better damage from Kinetic and Explosive.
Hope that helps you at least do a little more on the offensive.
On the defensive, I have no idea. I just pray.
On those lines though, is there a standard for different sentry guns? Gotta know how to tank the sentries in my favorite system while I chew apart the hulls of litt...err...yeah how about those sentries. ___________________________________________ http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3644/jexsigext7zr.png Yarr! signature removed (max size 24000 bytes) - please email us (with the signature URL) if you want to know why - Pirlouit([email protected])
