It was the only thing giving me intense fights and I still get that occasionally, but most of the time I end up being permajammed and dying with only a few seconds of me fighting back. I've died countless times with my main being permajammed while me frantically trying to lock something before dying, unsuccessfully. Even just a frig can take out pretty much anything when he's got a friendly falcon 70km away. You won't have time to kill anything if he miss an ECM-cycle until you get jammed again the next cycle.
Sure I can stop whining and fit a couple of ECCM-mods (because only 1 doesn't do it, believe me I've tried). This will totatlly nerf whatever ship I intend to fly. Or I could just stop paying the subs I've been paying since 2006. I recently had a 3 month break from the game and just came back. Blob-warfare isn't fun to me. I only get satisfaction from skirmish and solo-roaming. If I go on another hiatus from EVE I fear I won't find the motivation to return. Small scale and solo-pvp has been neglected for too long. Like I said in the opening ECM is the number one reason preventing good fights when solo.
CCP should remove ECM from the game entirely. It's a broken mechanic which is preventing fights.
A frig with a Falcon 70km away is not solo so if that's what you are fighting - take an alt or a friend.
Tried drones? Have you trained the skills that help against ECMs?
How do you propose small gangs could deal with large gangs using logi if there is no ECM in the game?

I agree ECM is over powering but i don't think it should be removed from the game i believe the biggest flaw in ECM is range the fact that you can be jammed over 100km away with a good falcon pilot is bullshit the fact that he doesn't have to be in the fight but yet can have such a large influence on it is just rediculous
ECM has less effect on a fight than Logi.

They are a part of the game and here to stay, so man up, and think of a way to counter them, or simply use them yourself. Its like hearing those soccer fans whine for hours over how the referee whistled against their team and got them to loose the match.
its in the game, so live with it. I personally dont use any of those simply because I havent a trained alt, but the thought occurs once in a while. No one stops you from training a scout or Ogb.
T. Offgrid Boosters would not be such an issue if they would not boost ship speed. Having Hookbills going over 7000m/s not overheated nad 9000m/s with heat is completely nonesense. No missile or drone can catch them. This is ridiculous. Except for the speed boost every other aspect of offgrid boosting is fine with me.
Drone wont catch a properly fit Kite Hookbill even if he has no boosts.
Hookbill is easy to counter but drones are not the way to do it.
People just pay too much attention to the DPS figure in their fitting windows so they don't come up with the correct fits to kill kite hookbills.
