Dee Carson Caldari Seppuku Warriors	Posted - 2009.03.24 21:12:00 - [1] Falcons should still have a range advantage over Rooks. Rooks should have DPS advantage over Falcons. Scorps should... Well... Scorps should continue to look more like an interweb spaceship than a Domi. DC http://deecarson.blogspot.com/
Dee Carson Caldari Seppuku Warriors	Posted - 2009.03.24 21:16:00 - [2] Originally by: ShadowGod56 high % numbers is not perma jamming, if you can find a an example that has a 99.9-100% chance of jamming chance i will stand corrected. The determinate factor is the sensor strength of the target. I will permajam every hull with sensor strength less than 14 or so in my preferred Falcon fit. For battleship targets (sensor strength of 22 or so), I have to be ready to apply 3 jammers for a 94% probability of success. DC http://deecarson.blogspot.com/
Dee Carson Caldari Seppuku Warriors	Posted - 2009.03.24 21:52:00 - [3] Originally by: Jack Gates just fix the sensor strength so that falcons can't permajam battleships and get off a jam every other cycle on dreadnoughts and it's fine. right now, that's really the only problem with ecm. don't make "ecm brawlers," good god There's not a single battleship that can be permajammed. Again, max jam strength for racial module is about 14. Lowest sensor strength battleship is 17. 8 of the 12 hulls have sensor strength greater than 21. DC http://deecarson.blogspot.com/
Dee Carson Caldari Seppuku Warriors	Posted - 2009.03.25 17:26:00 - [4] - With the revised Falcon changes - With the flip of base optimal and falloff ranges - With no change in either SDA, PDA or PDP stats - With fit of 3 SDA + 2 PDP (so max jammer) - With max related skills Yields: Optimal 46% reduction from 227 to 122. Optimal + Falloff 25 % reduction from 267 to 202 No change in jamming strength which remains at 14.4 The results: - No change in the probabilities of a jam. If you were on the wrong end of the jam strength vs sensor strength math before, you still are. Repeat, you still are. - Increased danger related to a missed jam because you are inside engagement range of more OPFOR. Easy Predictions: - More Falcons on the field to cover the missed jams. - Snipers will be the next nerf target, because with engagement ranges > any other ship on the field, the whines will start all over again. Sorry CCP, but these changes won't obtain the result you seem to be after. DC http://deecarson.blogspot.com/
Dee Carson Caldari Seppuku Warriors	Posted - 2009.03.26 17:16:00 - [5] No matter how loudly the checker players whine about Falcons sitting out at 200km 'permajamming' and how emphatically they support the currently proposed changes, their real beef is with jam strength. And the proposed changes do not affect that at all. Falcons are still going to jam an interceptor with one module everytime and have a 94% probability of jamming a cruiser sized hull with 2 modules. I suggest the following changes that address the real issues, but neither require scrapping the entire mechanic nor assigning another Caldari role to the scrap heap. 1. Decrease base jammer strength 20% across the board (reduced probability of jam). 2. New ECCM module that adds flat 15 points to sensor strength (more anti-jam, particularly for small ships) 3. SDA bonus applies to all EWAR modules (including ECCM, TD, TP & damps) 4. Falcon base optimal/falloff of 45/45 (brings Falcon in closer) 5. Split Cruiser skill bonus to 10/10 for Optimal and Falloff (brings Falcon in closer) The results from a Falcon pilot's view? I can fit for: - 17% reduction in jamming strength and 55% reduction in optimal (max jam fit) or - 26% reduction in jamming strength and 34% reduction in optimal (max optimal fit) Falcons won't be as powerful, but they will continue to have a role in fleet and small gang work.
