      I'm not exactly a newbie, but how do you know what number to put in for the feild "Ammo Type"????? I've never understood what it meant in the EV Bible.

      "ammo type" refers to the kind of ammunition a weapon uses. For example, a laser cannon or blaze turret don't use ammo, so the number there is -1. Rocket launchers use rockets. So, look in the outfit resource and see what the ID is for "rockets". Then, note that number and put it in the "ammotype" field for the weapon.

      I know what it's for and everything but I looked at torpedos then missiles and then heavy rockets. torps use ammo type 3, missiles 4, and rockets 11. What is the pattern here? and I know you don't just use the resource number of the outfit called "torpedo".

      The ammotype is only relevant if two weapons should use the same ammo (which doesn't work very well anyway).
      You can set them to any number you like, just don't set it too high (<256) and don't use the same number in two weapons.

      Considering Lance started this thread offering help to newbies he's hardly helped anyone yet 🙂

      I just use the actuall outfit ID, works fine (e.g. if you ammo has 136 for it's ID, than you would set the "AmmoType" to 136)
