Weapons: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

The most widely used weapons in EVE fire ammunition at a target. Each kind of weapons module typically comes in small, medium, and large - though the naming conventions may use other descriptive terms. You can usually expect smaller weapons modules to load faster and fire more quickly than large ones. Smaller modules tend to do less damage per hit with a rapid hit rate, while larger weapons tend to do more damage per hit with more time between hits.

In practice a small, fast ship can kill a large, slow one. The large ship uses large weapons that are very powerful, but are ~~slow to find their~~ targets. The small ship does not have powerful weapons, but by moving quickly enough to avoid the larger ship's targeting, it can deliver a large number of small hits without being hit itself. This kind of encounter has as much to do with the relative skills of the pilots as with the weapons characteristics of the ships, and the moral is that the skills of an experienced pilot are usually more important than hulls and modules.

In practice a small, fast ship can kill a large, slow one more easily than the reverse. The large ship uses large weapons that are very powerful, but are inaccurate against small targets. The small ship does not have powerful weapons, but by moving quickly enough to avoid the larger ship's targeting, it can deliver a large number of small hits without being hit itself. This kind of encounter has as much to do with the relative skills of the pilots as with the weapons characteristics of the ships, and the moral is that the skills of an experienced pilot are usually more important than hulls and modules.
