I'm starting this thread to discuss the electronic attack ships.
As it stands now EAS's are very squishy... and not very deadly in combat... However I would like to see these ships obtain a role bonus (not changing or replacing any current bonuses) that allows them to use covops cloaking devices and warp while cloaked... This would make this ship an excellent gang scout and tackler to fill its role.
Also on a side note, the Amarr EAS needs to lose its energy neut/vampire bonuses and get something more productive and useful.

No
If you want cloaking, go fly a racoon danm it.

Do you have any feedback on why this is a bad idea other than your personal opinion of no?
One thing that should be considered, is EVE has a tendency for its electronic warfare ships to be covops or designed for cloaking, while not all can cloak... Atleast I'm not asking to make my curse warp while cloaked :P

They are miniature Recons, they are supposed to be squishy. If you want more survivability max skill to get max range and/or buffer them.

Are you quite mad? The Sentinel is currently THE most powerful of the EAS line. It is the ultimate interceptor killer. The combination of TD, drones and Neuts kills any and all turret based cruisers and down. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a BC die to one of these.
If and/or when CCP gets around to rethinking the whole eWar thing everything may look different, as it is the only one that might use a tweak is the Gallente one. Dampeners are just not worth a lot for the frigate classes due to speeds involved, makes an awesome gate tackler though.

I can see the ability to jump through a covert jump portal, but a cov ops cloak is just ridiculous.

Why not? Put covops cloak on everything. TBH ravens deserve one for ages now...

just no. they got their roles already. minmatar and gallente EAS have tackling bonuses. kitsune could lock down 2 BC before the recent patch (haven't tested after the patch). and sentinel are deadly for any frigate size. also other turret boats suffer badly to them.
maybe start flying the ships before judging them?

And then i'd like my assault frigates to get a Covops cloak, Just 'cause they are easily killed by a destroyer that knows what he's doing and they generally aren;t all that useful anyway. ______________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

... not with their old agility back anyways; 1km orbit becomes 2km at ~75% speed - putting the gist back into logistics |

Edited by: Ahz on 23/04/2009 03:23:52 I will insert my long-standing request to allow them to use the black ops portal. Along with the cov ops, stealth bomber, assault frigate and intercepter.
Makes all these small ships more useful and makes the black ops portal more useful as well.

I, too, would like to see every ship in game use Covert Ops cloak.

I love the electronic attack ships. Pre-web nerf I always flew hyenas instead of ceptors. They were just GREAT.
I think they could do with a lil buff tho. The poor lil keres is just awful.
Now, I do love cloaks. I think they are rocking. But we've already got enough cov-ops ships, and the skill reqs for recons aren't significantly higher, so you may as well just skill another month and fly them. It sounds a bit harsh, but thats the way the cookie crumbles.
Since recons came in first, then EASs were introduced as micro-recons, they were always going to have to sacrifice something to make them less uber.
