Cool. Where's the link to the fraps? And assuming the tables are right, what chance of jamming an un-ECCM'd Geddon with 5 light ecm drones do you think would be best, if not 26%. You don't think an average of 1 jam every 80 or so seconds is ok? How does that change with an additional 96% sensor strength + 30% overload for ECCM II? Should they have no affect at all?
I think 25m3 of drone bay that can be used by having electronic warfare drones 2 and drone 3 taking a geddon out for 26% of a fight is pretty stupid. Did you know 2x light ecm drones are the same strength as 1x med ecm? Unlike small vs medium dmg drones, where the medium does less dmg than 2x lights. This means that drones 5 isn't needed to be just as effective with ECM drones.
Also 1/80 looks like a lot less than 1/4 huh? 1 jam ever 80 seconds is 20 seconds out of 80. That's a 25% dmg reduction as well as breaking neut, point, web and the ability to assign drones.
I think ECM as a mechanic is dumb. Breaking lock is far too powerful as it effectively ends a pvp engagement (they warp) and/or favors blobs totally (outnumbered AND unable to target means no losses for the blob, as well as solo/small gang players needing dmg drones for utility vs tacklers/smaller targets and for when they don't have a lock, while the blob just has enough ships to cover this role).
Ecm that can be used after a few hours of train time at 100% strength on any ship with a drone bay is even stupider.
Here's another point for you. If I fit a sensor booster and they use 25m3 of sensor dampening drones I have BETTER sensor stats that I would with no drones / no SB. In other words fitting a counter module counters their drones 100% while also providing a benefit if no damps are on the field. Fitting an ECCM means I'm just jammed less and have no benefit if no ecm is around.
Also, way to be a *****, I'll see about turning the raw fraps into a movie file just for you and then upload it if you personally apologize to me for being a d-bag. "If the tables are correct" "Where is the link to the fraps" etc.
