Each missile type comes in four variants, each doing one damage type. Drones from each of the four factions do one damage type each, but they have slightly different stats (for example, Caldari drones (kinetic) do less damage than Gallente drones (thermal), but are slightly faster). The exact proportions depend on the plasma charge used. Entropic Disintegrators deal about 60% thermal and 40% explosive damage. Each type of projectile weapon ammunition does two (sometimes three) different damage types (one of which is always kinetic). The exact proportions depend on the ammunition type used. Hybrid weapons do about 60% kinetic and 40% thermal damage. The exact proportions depend on the frequency crystals used. Energy turrets (often called "lasers") do about 60% EM and 40% thermal damage. Thermal damage is not to be confused with heat damage, which is caused by overloading modules. However, keep in mind that it's possible (with the right modules) to compensate for a ship's weaknesses and tech 2 ships follow their own patterns of native resistance. For instance, without any modules or rigs, shields are most susceptible to EM damage and most resistant to explosive damage. " Native resistance" is a tech 1 ship's resistance to damage before any modules or rigs are fitted. Conversely, if you know that your enemy's ship has a low resistance to a particular damage type, you can use weapons which deal that specific damage type, making them more effective. If you know that your enemy uses weapons which deal a particular damage type, you can fit modules to your ship to increase your resistance to that damage type, making your enemy's weapons less effective against you. 
Understanding damage types helps you to survive longer and deal more damage to enemy ships: There are four different damage types in EVE:Īll weapons in EVE do at least one (often two) of these damage types, and every ship has different resistances against each.
