Energy type

[lsloan31]

I think the thing to take away is -

Don't mix your energy types! Go for what you fancy, but stick to one type of damage.

It can also important to stick to cannon type (DHC, DC, C, Turrets) or beam weapons to get the most from boff abilities.

I mix energy types on occasion. As long as you run the DEDM consoles for beams/prefires for cannons you can still pump out tons of damage. At Mk XI rare its 17.5% vs 26.2% damage boost which after skills etc isn't really much of a drop. I did used to do it to make a point whilst parsing, had more than my fair share of ragers go silent on me once I show them in a parse my ship was still doing a couple k dps more than theirs
