Premium cartridges

Well congratulations, you've now met someone who doesn't use it for ganking or AX, because mats are easy come, easy go.

Current defence meta is ridiculous, and needs a nerf hammer quick, or at least a better variety of options for overcoming defences, or a more substantial negative effect for overtanking. [1]

[1] noting full well that its been this way for a long time, and nothing is likely to happen anytime soon.
You mean the torpedoes?
Or phasing effects?
Or anti-aircraft guns (analog of the anti-heno but for humans) ?
And so on and so forth.
 
Well, technically premium ammo can be synthetized on the fly, so nobody can prove I was carrying them in advance ;)
I was talking about the flip side. I need to dodge a ganker and synthesize ammo since I don't carry it right away.
 
Just remove all guns and then no-one can complain about something they don't want.
Then prevent player to player damage, so nobody complains about other players.
Then remove ships and vehicles, so nobody has an advantage over anyone else.

Then serve drinks at the bar and let players play poker, dominos, snap, or whatever...

There you go, the whole game sorted to make everyone equally unhappy.
 
In @LeoBartlet 's absence, I'll just leave this here:

(For OP's benefit, I play almost exclusively in solo and occasionally use premium to keep TTK lower in high CZs. That's because I also enjoy driving around on planets when exploring and so replenish my mats as part of my everyday gameplay, rather than seeing it as some grind expedition.)

Yeah... pretty limited selection hey? (you forgot Rails and Plasma Accellerators btw)

All these are niche use by contrast to the HRP/SB meta, which is ubiquitous. Though it's less of a problem, because we have Premium ammo, which useful for many PvE situations and not just AX or ganking.

"Why not?" is a perfectly valid answer to OP's question.

/thread
So the secondary effect on the charging of the SB from the fuel can also be?
Or for example prismatic shield should weigh more than the same class of shield A?
And where is my ECM v2 to immediately destroy all torpedoes around?

PVE ? Maybe you should take your guns to an engineer?

Are you even reading my replies, or you just not interested in hearing anything that isn't confirmation bias?

Go take reverb torps to a high intensity cz, let me know slow you take (If you even finish the cz)

Or even just to a Threat 6 Pirate Activity site, see how many times you need to go jumping out and how slow your TTK is. Premium ammo works wonders here, and if you don't know that, then you really don't have a clue what you're posting about.

Do you need premium ammo for these things? No. Does it help drastically and efficiently? Yes.
 
I could have responded, but I'm surprised the moderator missed this post in the thread.
I disagree, Darth comment is not out of line. It's obvious that even though you pretend this thread is about premium ammo, your underlying point is more about a grief against so called "gankers". You're also political.

Sorry this is not my native language and I may not understand the translation.
I'm all for balance, and one person can't be Bill the Hero of the Galaxy.

If I have no problem in one coping with the mission of the wing, it means that somewhere there is a violation of the balance.
