Will we, for example, be able to finally and at least engage medium frigate blobs in a couple cruisers or BCs without the permajam because of that single ECM frigate in said blob ? Why is the only efective way to deal with ECM is either the ECM's ship destruction or sacrificing an important slot for an eccm or sebos ?
Wouldnt it be more intelligent to change it along a ship to ship hard formula like:
ECM Frigate vs Frigate = Full ECM str and duration applied
ECM Frigate vs Cruiser = Half ECM str and dura
ECM Frigate vs BC = Quarter ECM str and dura
ECM Frigate vs BS = Fith ECM str and dura
and so on ...
Could you perhaps make it so ? At some point in the near future ? No ? Right now, everytime any ECM ship shows up, pvp flies out the window unless superior numbers brought in to **** it up as quick as possible. It's stupid.
Thanks.
I'm sorry, but why are we complaining about ECM ships? You realize that Hornet EC-300s have more chance to jam you than a griffin? And they can go in the 30+ enemy ships on grid. Effectively jamming out the entire logi-chain. I have been perma-jammed in a carrier by a single flight of EC-300s. While ECM frigates and cruisers are pretty awful. They are a more reasonable feature than a set of drones that 1 of 5 can jam you.
Strengths are pointless for a system that is 100% RNG. Cause, in theory a Widow should be able to single-handely jam a carrier. Or two falcons. Or three blackbirds. Or four griffin navys or 5 Griffins. However, with ECM being RNG based. Skills do not matter, ship doesn't matter, drone size doesnt matter. It is useless to use the scorpion for anything. Useless to use a blackbird unless you need longer locking range and cant fly a rook/falcon.
In order to fix ECM as a whole, they have to change how it operates all together. Pretty much removing it and recreating it. As a max ECM pilot I can honestly tell you I have had more successful jams from Hornet EC-300s than I have ever had from any ECM ship combined. |
