Line 2,610:

For PvP, faction antimatter and null (blasters) or spike (rails) are usually used. Void (blasters) and Javelin (rails) are not recommended due to the tracking penalties in conjunction with being short ranged. It is often better to keep at range close to your optimal in PvP to avoid tracking problems. Orbiting can cause tracking problems, except with small ships orbiting large ships due to the higher signature radius making shots hit the target easily.

Since Incursion, T2 ammo with a range penalty ~~(void and javelin for hybrid weapons)~~ are no longer completely useless. However, they still have a tracking penalty. They should not be used unless you are sure the tracking and range ~~due to reduced falloff~~ won't be a problem.

Since Incursion, some of the T2 ammo with a range penalty are no longer completely useless. However, they still have a tracking penalty. They should not be used unless you are sure the tracking and range differences won't be a problem. Void has better optimal and worse falloff than faction antimatter, and a noticeably better dps. Javelin has worse optimal than faction antimatter, and the dps is not significantly better.

When using a battleship that requires cap boosters, it is recommended to keep a medium standard container in the cargo hold. This will provide extra space, which is handy for switching out ammo types and picking up loot after a fight. Always make sure you have the required space for one full load of ammo in the cargo hold, otherwise switching ammo will be difficult.
