==Damage to deal==

The Abyssal Deadspace resist penalties apply to both the player ship and to the NPCs inside Abyssal Deadspace. Due to how [[Tanking#Negative_resists|resist penalties]] are calculated this means that damage matching with the penalized resist will effectively receive damage bonus equal to the resist penalty (smaller damage increase if the target has too low resist). So in general you should select your damage to match the weather.

~~However, in some cases~~, the ~~natural~~ resist ~~hole of the NPC is~~ equal ~~or even greater than~~ the resist ~~hole caused by~~ the ~~weather~~. ~~This is especially true~~ in ~~Dark filaments~~, ~~which have no resist penalty~~.

The Abyssal Deadspace resist penalties apply to ''both'' the player ship ''and'' to the NPCs present. Thanks to the mechanics of [[Tanking#Negative_resists|resist penalties]], this means that damage-matching to the penalized resist will effectively earn a damage bonus equal to the resist penalty (smaller damage increase if the target has too low a base resist). So, in general, you should select your damage to match the weather.

~~Drifter ships~~, ~~Seeker drones~~, ~~and Sleeper drones~~ have ~~uniform resists~~.

However, in some cases, the natural resist hole of the NPC is equal to or greater than the resist hole caused by the weather. This is the case in Dark filaments, which have no resist penalty.

Sansha's Nation ships ''other'' than the Devoted ~~Night~~ are weak to EM and Thermal and strong against Kinetic and Explosive. The Devoted Knight is weak to EM, then Explosive, and strong against Thermal and Kinetic.

* Sansha's Nation ships ''other'' than the Devoted Knight are weak to EM and Thermal and strong against Kinetic and Explosive. The Devoted Knight is weak to EM, then Explosive, and strong against Thermal and Kinetic.

* Angel Cartel ships are the opposite of Sansha's Nation: strong against EM and Thermal, weak to Explosive and Kinetic.

* CONCORD ships have uniform resists. EDENCOM ships are weak to Thermal and EM.

* Triglavian ships are weak to Explosive, then Thermal, and strong against Kinetic and EM. In a -30% Electrical filament, their EM resist is equal to Explosive resist.

* Rogue drone ships have wildly varying resists. Damage-dealing and EWAR frigates have the same natural resists as a Tech 1 hull from one of the races. Repair frigates have 0 resists. Battlecruisers are slightly weak to EM/EX, and slightly more resistant to TH/KIN.

~~Angel Cartel ships are the opposite of Sansha~~'s ~~Nation: strong against EM~~ and ~~Thermal~~, ~~weak to Explosive and Kinetic~~.

The Rogue Drone Battleship's resistances change at different tiers. With one exception, the Weather-induced hole is greater than any natural resist hole, and should be targeted; however in a Dark Filament, these resistances become relevant.

~~CONCORD ships have uniform resists. EDENCOM ships are weak to Thermal and EM.~~

If swapping damage types (i.e. through missile reloads) is possible, it should be done for these battleships. Their Shields are weak to EM damage, and the following chart lists their Armor weaknesses:
