The *Official* Eve Online Thread

Click the little 'i' on the market for the missile and look at the damage type. Also works out that the picture of the missile can tell you the type of damage e.g.:

Blue warhead = EM
Red warhead = Thermal
Black warhead = Kinetic
Gold warhead = Explosive

alright, i'll switch over to another launcher, how do you tell if your using kinetic missiles though?

you can either look at the colour, kinetic missiles will be black coloured and the info will say it deals xxx amount of kinetic damage.

Also the names of the missiles indicate their damage types

Rockets
  • Gremlin = EM Damage
  • Thorn = Kinetic Damage
  • Foxfire = Thermal Damage
  • Phalanx = Explosive Damage

Light Missiles
  • Sabretooth = EM Damage
  • Bloodclaw = Kinetic Damage
  • Flameburst = Thermal Damage
  • Piranha = Explosive Damage

Heavy Missiles
  • Thunderbolt = EM Damage
  • Scourge = Kinetic Damage
  • Widowmaker = Thermal Damage
  • Havoc = Explosive Damage

Cruise Missiles
  • Paradise = EM Damage
  • Wrath = Kinetic Damage
  • Cataclysm = Thermal Damage
  • Devastator = Explosive Damage

Torpedoes
  • Mjolnir = EM Damage
  • Juggernaut = Kinetic Damage
  • Inferno = Thermal Damage
  • Bane = Explosive Damage
 
I've just downloaded this and my friend has sent me a free 14 day trial for me to try the game.

Can anyone give me any tips for starting out for when I get home from work?

Cheers.

I totaly hate that bonus, it should be to ALL missiles
I've never been in a situation where kinetic damage is preferable to anything else (except maybe EM)

Get your learning skills as high as you can (be bothered to wait for). Then get a bit of ISK behind you, perhaps some mining or agent missions? All will be much clearer when you actually get into the game.

Oh and join a corp :).

When did that change?

Was one of the first things I did when I moved to 00 with STK (after shooting a stargate and a cargo can :D I used to get bored easily when I was n00b to 00 life)

That was about 10months ago though.
 
It's always been like that AFAIK :confused:

Last time I tried was a month or so ago... went straight through and out the other side. I'd done it about a year before that as well :confused:
 
It's really tricky to take pictures of the beast because of the colour, but here it is parked in a favourite place.

I had to lighten the picture a bit otherwise it was almost solid black!
