You really want this mod to fit on a marauder...

Can anyone tell me if the modules has a X chance to break ALL locks, or for each individual lock a X chance to break it?

I tested my theory (anti site gank) in a null sec site, and had a buddy of mine warp in as if he was going to tackle me for a red fleet.

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.

This module fails.

Why can't CCP just implement aoe on ship destruction in null. What's wrong with the tried and true method of blob control in every other game that it's not good enough for Eve?

might as well fit warp stabs while your at it and gimp your ship even more and go down like a true carebear.

The no BPO thing was a terrible idea on CCPs part though, not sure what they were thinking.

I have tested it, and I provided my parameters for the test. If you can test it with 500+ people (and prove it) I'll listen to something you may have to say.

Other than that, you have nothing to provide that's useful.

Hey I tested a module too!
ECM, I figure if I fill my scorp with ECM I will be invincible in mission because I can just jam all the enemy NPC all the time

Except when I tested it I found that it didn't really work

Here's how I think the dev conversation went:
Dev1: HURR DURR I R MAKINGS MODULE!
Dev2: LAWL WUT IT DO?
Dev1: IT DOES NOTHING OF COURSE! I CALLS IT EE SEA EM
Dev2: DELICIOUS! SHALL WE MAKE USELESS SHIPS TO GO WITH IT??
Dev1: YUS! LET US MAKE THE SHIPS OF USELESSNESS!

And now we have falcon, rook, and scorpion. These ships SUCK and are totally USELESS because they are bonussedified to ECM, a useless module of does-nothing that doesn't win me missions good.

I tested it so it are fact

/troll

Try using light drones to kill frig tacklers instead of modules that are clearly designed for PvP.

You now know that ECM doesn't work with NPC. Well done. :D

I attempted to use this in conjunction with 5 ECM bursts... It didn't do anything and I lasted about 2 sec vs 11 gate campers

Just drive through him next time...

This is a terrible module, it destroys any element of solo or small gang PVP against a battleship, here is why:

I was out hunting with a corpmate in Syndicate. We were both in Cynabals.

We were spending a bit of time potting about the Orvolle gate in PF-, to our surprise, a Scorpion Navy Issue jumped solo into PF-.

He cloaked.

We spent a while trying to decloak but couldn't get a good bead on him, so we waited. He eventually decloaked, and aligned. I pointed him, and he activated his TARGET SPECTRUM BREAKER.
This broke my lock and he warped away.

"what the **** was that".
Not to be left wondering, we made quickly into the direction he fled, we were not letting this prey get away.

We chased him to his destination gate. Our Cynabals landed near him (9km away), wherein he cloaked.
I moved in quickly and de-cloaked his ship, thinking "AHA WE GOT YOU NOW". No.

He sat there, wouldn't shoot back at us or anything, no no no. He just left that module cycling, breaking one of our locks at a time, while the other would re-lock and attempt to engage the scram again / or bump his alignment, he'd break their lock not long after.

This continued until he was in 1/4 shield, where we both lost lock, and he was aligned, and warped out.

He did not fire a shot back, he just sat there, cycling his stupid TARGET SPECTRUM BREAKER.

How are you meant to pin a battleship down if he can just cycle this 'GET OUT' button until it eventually clicks onto his favour and he can escape.

Issues with module:

• Cycles too quickly .
• No range limit
• Cap usage isn't high enough
• Doesn't require charges
• Chance rate isn't displayed clearly in item info - no way to 'improve' odds as an aggressor.

How we could've stopped him escaping?

• More people? - that's a load of bullshit though, all the ******* ratting scrubs are going to amass in the belts and plexes of EVE sporting this magical 'anti-ganker' button. What a piece of ****.
• Bump better? - I'm pretty ******* good at bumping if I do say so myself, but it takes me about 10 seconds to turn around and gain significant enough speed to bump again. In that time he could realign.

I don't know... this module needs some serious revision. It is not small-gang / soloist friendly. It's too easy for battleships to run off.

I'm pretty sure it's aimed at large fleet battles, not helping you break NPC tackles. Get it tested in a proper fleet fight with 500+ people and then get back to us?

EDIT: and to be honest the Black Ops and Marauder inclusion is probably for consistency since they're the only other BS-class ships out there, not out of any misplaced hope that they'll frequently fit them. It would be more odd if they couldn't, tbh.
