Taking pulses and autos as the main example, pulses have both higher base damage and noteably higher real damage (due to fighting in optimal rather than falloff) when compared to autocannons.<br /><br />The gap is closed significantly by the fact that minmatar ships generally have more damage bonuses then their amarr equivalents - but that's a property of the ships rather than the weapon system. Note that amarr ships that do receive damage bonuses (e.g. the abaddon) handily outdamage their minmatar cousins.<br /><br />That said, I think the reason minmatar are the most popular race in the tourney (and indeed in PVP in general) has little to do with damage - it's speed and range flexibility. This makes them both difficult to counter and effective at countering multiple gang types - they can both chase down kiters and evade a slower, closer ranged rush team like gallente or amarr.Azualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284543108965798013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156991624486881146.post-76385127499931392492011-07-10T21:10:49.739-04:002011-07-10T21:10:49.739-04:00Interesting factoid no.1
