I decide to use my Proteus alt to scout and provide max sensor strength bonus to help me from being jammed. I'm wandering around low sec and spot a drake. Setup to bonus and jump in my Brutix and go for him. My mid slots is a micro warp drive, scram and two OVERLOADED eccm modules and I have that new Gallente sensor strength skill at max.
132 sensor strength. 
Drake launches five light ECM drones. I get one cycle of antimatter off and I'm jammed... for two back to back 20 second cycles. So with no way to apply any meaningful damage, much less hold tackle; I die to the Drake. 
I come back with yet another Brutix two days later, attack a Cyclone. Out come the ECM dines when he starts to bleed armor. I get jammed and he warp away to a pos.
You know, I don't really mind being jammed by a blackbird or other ECM specialized ship, but these ******* ECM drones need to be removed from the damn game already. |

Haha. Nice exaggeration. I think frustration is a more accurate description.
My conclusion is to cross train up my alt to fly a Falcon and just jam the target every time. Even if they don't have ECM drones. Like someone said above, I'll just have to hop on the ECM anti-fun wagon.
I tried the the counter module to ECM and it was pointless. The mechanics around ECM need a serious revamp. Until then, I'll be jamming every person I come across in every fight I get into, sorry. |

Its well known ECM drones should more or less be completely removed from the game, the way they are now. Old and repeating subject in the forums. Generally speaking CCP know but they just couldn't care less... However, CCP_Rise may be able to change that in the future, as he always talked about how overall terrible ECM drones are to Eve as a game entirely, in his streams :-)
Try the sensor strength implants, they help. The lowgrade set only costs like 40mil total, and you'll feel a great difference vs ECM drones (won't do you that much good vs Falcons though).
How many millions and millions of ISK do I have to invest in implants, modules and a second account ($$$) with anti ECM bonuses to counter a group of drones that cost around 50k ISK?? |

Then again the other night I put ECM drones on a dramiel 10 or 12 times and didn't get a single jam. It's almost like random occurences aren't predictable
If it is such a great mechanic, this dice roll, how about you ask CCP to make everything follow it as well? |

I understand the concept of smartbombs to kill the ECM drones, but I do high sec wars as well and you can't really use those there.
It is just a shame that the only real counter is using the very same broken mechanic. I'm curious why CCP insists on keeping the anti-fun mechanic the way it is.
Anyways, only two weeks before Caldari cruiser five on my alt and he will be flying a falcon constantly. I plan on perma jamming everyone, even if they stood no chance at all, just to rub in how messed up the mechanic is. |

Lost another Brutix due to being perma jammed by light ECM drones. I managed to kill one of them, but the other four jammed me.
When will this be fixed? |

Magic 8 ball says: "I'm not a EVE Online developer.".
Fixed your post.
I grow tired of players tossing around that phrase as if they designed the game themselves. |
