Did it 5 times, and I had a 0% success rate at getting out of there 'alive'. And, actually a couple times I almost lost my ship because I only broke 3 of the 20 NPCs lock, but never the test tackle.
Then my buddy proposed "ok, now let me try it in a dictor"...yeah, idea crushed.
I fit a armor BS, but chewing up the mid slot I'd normally have for boosters I couldn't run the reppers...so whom ever it was that said the mid slot doesn't affect the armor tank needs to give it a go. It DOES hurt the tank, seriously.
Sooo, I wouldn't say using this mod to avoid being ganked doing null sec sites is a good idea.
This mod, from what I can see is for the hardcore care bear who needs to have maybe 3 seconds of 5% less dps because they weren't aligned out.
I've tested all I can stand with this thing, I hope others don't die a horrible death (unless it's me killing you) while you use it.
Your problem here.... reppers.
This is an awesome module. Can't wait for it to be fitted on a bait domi. Can't wait until we get the first videos of a ship jumping into a camp, seeing fast tackle run at them only to have their locks broken as the ship aligns and warps off. This is of course not guaranteed, but is a lot more reliable than ECM drones.
Hell it might even be used simply for reducing incoming dps to allow the fleet to make it there before the domi pops (I have been on the bad end of a poor calculation of tank durability when baiting more times then I really should have...)
Would you call ECM drones useless because their chance to jam is significantly less than that of a falcon and they take valuable warrior 2's out of your drone bay?
You have a misplaced idea that this is intended for doctrine fit, pve fit, or anything regular. And I'm sorry, but anyone who puts this on a marauder... lawl. This is not a typical module like tanking or prop mods. Its a lightweight version of ECM burst, which I have seen used to devastating effect. Ever had a triage carrier attempting to tactically refit for resists while being primaried and have an ECM burst go off at just the right time to let his local reppers save his ass? Yeah. There is a purpose for this. |
