Holy crap don't kill me!!! (Puts on flame ******ant suit, locks self in bomb shelter)
Yes, I know. EW is way overpowered. Falcons are Satan. Everyone sees these threads, and they're all pointless because its from someone that couldn't get a lock due to a Falcon being on grid.
But you have to look at it from an EW pilot's point of view. EW is my defense. It is the only way for me to live on a field. And, honestly, as a fully Caldari speced toon, its the most effective way to contribute to a gang. We aren't heavy hitters, we aren't tankers. We stop people from being able to hurt our gang mates.
And everyone knows what happens if any ship gets a lock on a Falcon. If the pilot hasn't taken notice, he's dead in a few seconds. Ever seen a Scorpion called primary? No, you haven't, because by the time it has been called, the pilot is already (hopefully) warping out in his pod.
So if EW is the only way for me to defend myself, why are there no implants to help me be effective? My skills can only go so far. My mods and scripts and rigs can only take my ship to a certain level. And there are times that it is not enough. This, while every other pilot is getting boosts for both his defensive AND offensive capabilities. Why is this okay? It isn't.
Now I understand that there is a great potential for creating a situation that makes the EW implants too powerful. But there are ways around that.
Now, obviously, EW is a defense mechanism. EW itself does not actually kill anything, it just makes it easier for the target to die. Therefore, you don't usually see solo Falcon kills. I think that ships that receive an EW bonus should only have that, and should have very little in the way of actual offensive stregnth. The Falcon is a great example of this, with only two launcher points. Also, the EW bonused ships should have very little in the way of other defensive strengths. Once again, look at the Falcon. No true Falcon pilot ever considers putting anything but EW mods in the middle slots, because he knows he stands a better strength making sure no one locks his versus surviving hostile fire.
Basically, we can figure out a way to make is so that the EW pilot with implants is not invincible, while at the same time making sure that nothing changes for the EW pilot without implants. Essentially, it is unfair that other pilots get extra bonuses for both defensive and offensive capabilities. |

It's called a RX23-"Disbelief" implant - +1 warp core stability; "Due to the sheer mindpower you possess, you simply don't believe in such supernatural shenannigans as warp inhibitors." |

Centurions, yes. But those are faction implants with the attribute boosters. I'm looking more for the skill hardwiring. |
