Yakov Draken Minmatar Tides Of War	Posted - 2009.03.25 08:24:00 - [1] On the whole these sound like quality changes which will up the fun factor in eve. The age of Falcons uncloaking at 200k and jamming people out of the fight/fun needs to end. Like the Scorpian post changes - nasty ship.

CCP Chronotis: The falcon is the "sniper" of the two ECM roles having less ECM strength and more ECM range. Falcon: Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus: 20% Bonus to ECM Target Jammer Optimal Range per level 10% Bonus to Medium Hybrid Optimal Range per level Recon Ships Skill Bonus: 20% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per level -96% to -100% reduction in Cloaking Device CPU use per level Attribute Changes: +1 turret hardpoint / -1 launcher hardpoint I don't think you got the bonus's right there Lib. Isn't the latest proposal for the Falcon +15% jamming strength (down from 20%) plus no boost from SDA's meaning a total bonus of up to +75% jamming strength instead of +100% plus SDA's for up to around +50% more. Combine this with s*ping falloff and optimal (is this still happening?) meaning more misses on jams and I'm still fairly optimistic. Can someone confirm wether or not the SDA changes (jam strength to jam range) and optimal falloff s* are still going through. Bottomline is that Falcons need to be nerfed. They have been overpowered for a long time now and they kill the fun. They might work ok in 0.0 (dunno) but in low sec they are often present in large enough numbers to mean that no-one on your side can get a lock even with ECCM. Since this means fight over and time to de-aggro it is simply a combat killer. Won't it be nice to run around in small cruiser gangs without the knowledge that just one Falcon and your gang can't lock anything? Falcons have driven small ships with low sensor strengths out of the competition.
Yakov Draken Minmatar Tides Of War	Posted - 2009.03.25 20:22:00 - [3] Originally by: DiseL As for the Raven and Cerb still being great long range snipers because they do max damage at max ranges, well your right if your hitting a stationary target. Once they start moving damage goes down significantly. Correct, the Rokh is still the best uber-long range sniper but with minimal dps. So Caldari now is relegated to the sniper race. If this was really the case why are fleet engagements severely lacking in Caldari ships? This is simply not true. Fit up a Torp Raven and go melt face. HAM Drakes are a solid BC's and the best 1v1 BC in the game. Plus the Scorpian looks really nice to me after the changes and the BB will remain a damn fine low sp ship.
Yakov Draken Minmatar Tides Of War	Posted - 2009.03.26 19:56:00 - [4] Originally by: Childstar Give the other recons a boost to the range of some of their effects, like damps, TD's and TP's and leave SDA's giving boost to str but change them so they effect damps, TD's and TP's str as well. Yay - recon online! "I was damped by this Arazu at 200k but then one of our Falcons got close enough and jammed him and I got to shoot for 6 seconds before I capped out to the curse neuting me from 90k. Then I got jammed by some ECM drones and before I could get my lock back the Arazu got damps on me again, our Falcon was jammed, and I never got another lock - it rocked!" Seriously Childstar you have the worst idea's. Eve is a pvp game - please let us shoot stuff. I know some people can't handle the risk involved in pvp and recons are the answer for them as they mean very little risk of losing a ship. I just don't think these people matter for **** when it comes to game balence. Balence the game for those of us who want to fight! Nerfing ECM opens up one of the fundamental divides in Eve - on one side the "safe" combat brigade and on the the other those willing to actually dive in to a good fight. The two sides will never come to agreement or be able to discuss reasonably.

How dare they do something other than press f1 and wait. Sorry - pvp in Eve is about activating guns and that is it? Do you pvp? I presume not.
