Limpet controllers should use ammunition

Good thing i wasnt using my own definition of ammunition in that statement then... which is distinguished by being fired from a weapon, not by whatever it's composition is 🤷‍♀️

(My point being that trying to argue an scb charge is "energy and raw material", which somehow makes it "not ammunition" is a pretty bizarre and irrelevant argument to make)

At point of being repetitive, I never said energy and material couldn't be ammunition, the way it's being used defines that, in the AFMU raw material could just as easily be referred to as stock, or some other similar expression. The SCB uses energy to recharge the shield, calling it ammunition it's like saying a battery contains ammunition, which is silly, but an explosive round does contain energy, potential energy but still energy.

Why would a device used to repair the ship be referred to as containing "ammunition". My point being the use to which that material is being put defines it, if it's fired from a weapon it is indeed ammunition, I mean if you are using a trebuchet just about anything is ammunition, rocks, burning tar balls, dead animal, but you wouldn't refer to a dead animal in the road as ammunition because that's not what it is.

I didn't define ammunition by what it is, you are the one claiming I did, I referred to the use of stuff in an AFMU as raw material because that's what it is being used as, raw material to repair the ship. The exact same stuff, re-manufactured and turned into bullets could indeed be ammunition, but it wouldn't be ammunition until it was turned into bullets, before that it's raw material used to make bullets.

Any the entire point is moot, we are getting multi-slot limpet controllers in update 9 so it's pretty pointless arguing the point!
 
"we are getting multi-slot limpet controllers in update 9"

wow, really? when was this announced? any more details?

It was announced in dev update 5, have you not read it?

Multi Limpet Controller

The multi limpet controller is a new module that works in addition to existing limpet controllers, allowing players to deploy multiple limpet types using a single module slot. This new controller is not intended to replace the existing dedicated limpet controllers and will be balanced against these within the game, allowing basic use of multiple limpet types without a dedicated slot for each.
