If you're going to give it these stats you might as well just scrap the ship and give it the shield HP and hybrid optimal range bonus it used to have. As it is right now it's completely useless. Max skills, 1 of each rig, and 3 SDAs yields 136km optimal, 53 falloff, and 10 strength, which is pretty much useless. You're going to miss 3/4 jams at least with that kind of stats. Scorp on sisi has no DPS, no tanking ability, horrible speed and agility, pretty much useless ECMs, and not to mention that people flying scorps will almost never have max skills like I have, so it's even worse.
boost it or change it.

i will bet you that you would take any other bs out in a 1v1 fight (unless they are fitted for ecm counter eccm's which then should negate you totally).
tryid just for fun, and without max skills (actually not even close) i can perma jam 1-2 bs's and my dps with torps+ drones is decend enough to take out most bs's, only a matter of time (the worst thing is their drones auto agression, which is just a silly concept, why not have auto aggression guns too when your jammed etc.. stupid ___________________________________________ Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

Scorpion to solo a BS? With a native sig of 480 (lol), and 93.8 scan res (lol x2), Scorpion cannot tank only with ECM. At least Scorpion has to set an adequate active tank to counter 5 heavy drones (any other BS will land its drones before the scorpion will be able to lock and ecm). Minimum tank:4 meds-> shield booster + cap booster + 2x invu + 1xlow damage control
Then u should use another med for a disruptor.
3 meds left for ECM. (no mid/PG to fit Speed mod -> MWD or AB)
high slot 4x Siege t2 low slot 2xBCU + damage control + 1 SDA no rigs.
MAX DPS 422 (CN Torp), Scorpion needs TP and WEB to reach this value. Drone bay: 2x SW-900 2x TP-600 1x TP-300.
So 422 DPS is enough to break a BS tank? even a BS sniper fit has 60k EHP (without armor/shield repper/booster), it will take more than 120 secs and more than 6 cycles of ECM.
It's quite clear to me that Scorpion cannot take down any BS in a 1 VS 1.

and what excatly do you want 1 bs to do more then take 2 bs's out permanently? balance is the issue here. and the balance seems to be in place with the new changes, forcing you to use some of those meds for a bit of tank too. and the scorp was able to perma jam 4+ bs's before, which is just silly and way overpowered.

The fact that the Scorp is a dedicated ECM BS, it should be able to "perma" jam stuff. Maby not 4 ships, but at least 2.

no ship should be able to perma jam at all its a i win button which CCP try not to have

Edited by: Cletus Graeme on 07/04/2009 12:32:35 They just gave the Scorp back it's original 20% optimal per level ECM range bonus as when it was initially put on Sisi it had a 15% optimal and 15% falloff bonus per level. I can't seem them increasing it's range or jam strength further without testing on Sisi.
The current (TQ) Scorp has 161+41=202 optimal+falloff with maxxed skills so 136+53=189 is pretty close. CCP obviously wants the ship to operate more in falloff than it does now, although an extra 10% falloff per level bonus would still achieve this but still give it over 200km range which would make it an excellent fleet ship.
I'd love to see the Scorp also useful in close range but I don't feel it should lose it's long range ability (it just needs a little nerfing). I don't agree with CCP that being able to do both makes the ship overpowered. As long as it doesn't receive any damage bonuses it will only be useful as a support ship and without any tanking bonuses it will have to use half it's midslots to fit a decent enough tank to fight close range.
It only needs a little tweaking (and a lot of testing) to be useful in both roles without making it overpowered. If yo consider that the ship is currently severely underused I think it definitely needs a boost independent of the other ECM changes.

In *most* PvP situations an ECM ship will only realistically be able to devote 1/2 jammers per target. However, in small gang fights, especially those where the enemy gang composition is known, an ECM pilot can fit the appropriate racial jammers and also devote 3-6 jammers to each target.
Permajams arise becuase there is no penalty (stacking nerf) for using multiple jammers on one target. It's these situations that cause the most frustration and anger. Most pilots can accept being jammed once, twice or even thrice during a fight as they know that eventually the jammer will lose his jam and they will be able to fire again. This is a direct result of the fact that ECM is probability based and is working as intended.
The reason the Falcon is considered overpowered is that in a 5v5 fight it can effectively take two of the enemy ships completely out of the fight for upto a minute. The Scorpion has never had the jam strength or range (or cloak) to do this.

It is not. You still need a gang to do the damage.
Besides, permajamming is a word that should not be used to lightly. Even the the Faclon can score a lot of consecutive jams, some will miss eventually, as it is chance based.
The range of falcons may need to be tweaked, but not the strenght.

What happened to the proposed siege and cruiser bonus for the Scorpion anyway?
Didnt they want to shove it into a role so people can still fit what they want?
if you disagree with me then you should probably post a response and stop reading my signature. |

I've thought for a long time that kicking ECM optimal range to the same as TDs and damps, and making them operate in fall off most of the time would solve a lot of problems, as well as making damps a realistic counter to them.
Maybe make the scorp the only ship with an optimal bonus to ECM, making them fleet usable giving them their role back.

The previous Scorpion proposal, while still terrible for fleet combat, at least had some solo/small-gang potential to make up for it. The current Scorpion is just pure trash. ==========

Originally by: Cletus Graeme The current Sissi Scorp has 136+53=189. CCP wants the ship to operate more in falloff but the current changes nerf it's long range ability too much. Giving it an extra 10% falloff per level bonus would achieve this whilst still allowing the ship to operate effectively over 200km making it viable in fleet engagements.
Fleet combat is 150-170km. Why you want 200+? To be invincible? By the way your Jam will work up to Optimal + 2xFalloff and even more, Which is 242km. But you will pay with reduced chances of jam if you want extreme ranges.
Check out Minmatar 1400mm artillery of Gallenter 425mm railgun ranges, compare with your ECM and youll understand that you still got it pretty good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

Only if you count a 1% jam chance as "working". Once you get into falloff, your jam chance quickly drops off to the point where you're better off bringing another sniper battleship instead.

Now how about we instead compare the Scorpion to the good sniper battleships (Rokh, Apoc) which can hit 250km. Doesn't look so good anymore, does it? ==========

The Scorpion is a fleet ship (according to CCP's official word on the ship's role, and how the ship is currently used), which means operating at fleet ranges of 200km or more. The current (crippled) Scorpion is only capable of doing so if you define "fleet" by the worst sniper battleships, not the best. ==========
