For gunnery ammo:
the ranged version seem to work although I personally would prefer slighly less range and slightly more damage

the damage version tha5t reduces range and tracking without outperforming faction ammo by a good margin is a sick joke. either have it reduce rangge and increase damage and tracking (compatible with the general mechanic less range = more damage) or make them equivalent to short range ammo with an intresting side effect (for instance laser ammo make targets suffer more from heat (if used by the target), ballistic ammo give a chance to deactivate a module on the target ship (as if deactivated by the user). blaster ammo could reduce weapon sig radius slightly

Yes.

CCP ...

• Remove / revise the stacking penalties especially on short range variants
• Change damage modifiers to balance
• Investigate adding other effects to T2 ammo instead of damage

ever since the introduction of faction ammo most t2 ammo has been useless
I admit there is a minor role for some ammos and a few still shine (range boosting ammo) but the entire market on them tanked

They simply need to be redone.
I admit that having them outdamage faction ammo would not be in line with ccp's desires for combat duration so damage is not an option
Having the penalty effects be applied for each system having loaded that ammo type realy gimps the ships with many hardpoints over the ones with less and an added dps bonus
So I would suggest a system that does not have have a penalty nor gives a major bonus to damage

t2 Missiles could for instance lower actual speed (NOT max) by 1 or 2% per hit making them indirectly support other weaponsystems and increas the time a target needs to get to warp (even prefent it if there are enough of you)
the rage version with more dage ofset witrh a greater target signature allows a ship to engate a larger opponent miore effectively without boosting its damage against the same sized ship class removing other penalties from these missile types (rocket, ham, torp, cap torp) might do it but they should outperform faction missiles against larger targets.
Retaining a form of precision missiles (light, heavy, cruise and the missing capital cruise) without penalties do deal with smaller sized ship a bit more effectively might work as well

For gunnery ammo:
the ranged version seem to work although I personally would prefer slighly less range and slightly more damage allowing t1 a part in sniping as well
the damage version tha5t reduces range and tracking without outperforming faction ammo by a good margin is a sick joke. either have it reduce rangge and increase damage and tracking (compatible with the general mechanic less range = more damage) or make them equivalent to short range ammo with an intresting side effect (for instance laser ammo make targets suffer more from heat (if used by the target), ballistic ammo give a chance to deactivate a module on the target ship (as if deactivated by the user). blaster ammo could reduce weapon sig radius slightly
or maybe other have better idears?
