> [@Gutterpunk\_Boykiller](#): > > Kinda dumb the faction that is supposed to specialize in missiles is the only faction locked to a damage type. It’s not locked to a damage type, it has a small bonus to a single type but can use any type. Would you prefer they remove the bonus to kinetic damage then? ---

Yes please do. You’re stating that Amarr ships aren’t limited to EM/Thermal because they can fit other turrets (which they’re not bonused for). While at the same time crying like a toddler about how SOME Caldari ships are “locked” (your words) into kinetic, while… they can simply change ammo types. Somehow in your amazing logic having to switch a whole weapon type (requiring different skills) is less bad than simply right clicking your launchers and loading Mjolnir missiles. _PLEASE_ go and explain that in a manner that doesn’t make you sound like a babbling whining lunatic. ---

Okay momma. As an Amarr pilot, I can use wonderful lasers. But I also have a plethora of other options, such as selectable damage with wonderful missiles and selectable damage with drones. With Galente, I have selectable damage with drones but I also have access to damage locked rails and blasters (though my rails tend to come with AWESOME tracking and damage bonuses). With Minmatar, I have selectable damage with beautiful projectiles and plenty of missile option. And now Caldari. The black sheep of the faction family. You will fire rails without tracking bonuses or decent damage bonuses. You can try blasters but Gallente does it better. You will fire missiles, but only the damage type we have chosen for you. Those are your options or die.
