Great, now you have a ~50% change to jam a lowly caracal. Oooooh terrifying.
Optimal caps out at ~54km too |

But, yeah you're all right, ECM is an I-WIN button, that's why it's everywhere all the time, even on unbonused hulls. Wait, sorry - that was 2005
Optimal caps out at 54km? You using a failcon? If u want range jump into a blackbird and your optimal is around 80km.
50km is really far away anyways. Not a lot of things can reach you. |

Usually use falcon as it has better jam strength.
A ~50% jam rate isn't reliable - and the ships are suitably paper tanked compared to their equivalents - if this wasn't true, we'd see nothing but solo rooks and falcons kicking ass up and down - but we don't.
However it's a digression - the issue with ECM is the unpredictability, the binary effect and that's intrinsically linked to the hulls themselves. |

The unpredictability has to do with the binary effect which is the problem, not the hulls.
First you fix the mechanic and then worry about the hulls. |

You can't because if you fix one and not the other you have hugely overpowered rooks etc.
To bring it line with other mechanics but not do the hulls you have a situation with at least half their mids free, the lows and rigs.
Personally I think a rook/falcon as effective and reliable as the likes if a pilgrim/arazu would be a horrible thing, I'd rather fight today's incarnation. |

I'd rather see a much needed overhaul so ECM isn't so annoying. |

That's the thing though - when it works it is (to all intents and purposes) not more materially effective than other EWAR. The only real difference is that other ewar affords the /illusion/ of a choice/ability to combat it.
If a gang is rolling with damps/TDs - their tackle etc will fly accordingly - you can chase it futilely but your death is just as certain as an ECM bird jamming you constantly. You might think you had a chance, but you really didn't. |

Its not illusion mate.
If I'm flying a hurricane, and I'm getting TD'd so I can't hit anything.. I can still direct my drones to the light tackle frig, or use a energy neutralizer on him so I can warp out.
If I'm flying a tanky brawling vexor, and some arazu damps me to 12km lock range, I can still blow up the rupture that is next to me trying to kill me.
If I get energy neutralized by a curse, I still can plan my moves or escape until my cap runs out. If I have capless weapons, I can keep shooting too.
The damps didn't help this loser from getting melted, we got up in his face and even though we should of gotten stomped in that fight we ended up killing more than we lost : http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=16899509
The only illusion is that getting perma jammed by ECM is an okay thing. It is just bad for the health of the game, I personally had a bud who quit the game one of his reasons was how BS ECM was. |

Say somebody is flying an anti-tackle ship. And if anything comes in close to hard tackle him he will just blow them away...
Which is more powerful?
A damp which lets him shoot and fight out to web range or an ECM that makes him into a brick?
Now which is more fun?
ECM is just a cheap way for really bad players to fight, that's honestly all I see it as. And its too random too, something this random doesn't fit in with EVE gameplay. |

Some of those are niche - I.e. like telling people to combat ECM with range. Others are bad luck - drones not already out.
Others are valid and would be handled by a soft counter of FoF ammo across all weapon types.
One other thing I've mentioned in past threads is that I don't think it's reasonable to have to reacquire lock after a jam, seems needlessly punitive.
The real trick is getting something that's not going to completely neuter the system - I've not seen an option yet, in any thread ever that wouldn't leave people never undocking them in favour of other EWAR types. |

Wow, the most amusing and amazing thing in this thread is the moderating :) Continious attacks on person (in lack of ability to attack arguments) by thread opener is completely ingored on other hand the few who actually provide good arguments against total fruitbatness of OPs statements are moderated.
ECM is not broken. If it were there would be numerous kitsunes, falcons, rooks and scorpions all around high/low/null. |

Gal - huge point range + damps Min - huge web range + painting Ama - huge neut range + TD Cal - ECM + nothing.
Gals combo of long point and damps is way more powerful than ECM when used right, especially when its not chance based. ECM is fine, fit sensor mods to your ships or get the (dirt cheap) implants. ECM boats die quick when they miss cycles. |

With pure predictability every fleet would know exactly when to stand down, to the very last rifter. Everyone would know the exact outcome of a fight and thus you would have a very boring game.
In essence the luck factor is one of the many reasons stories are told on Eve and essentially keeps everyone hanging around, for that fight won against all odds. |

You are exaggerating like crazy. The kind of random luck that causes amazing fleet battle turn arounds are mostly down to human error, and human error is nothing in short supply.
I've never heard an interesting story that had to do with ECM. If a pilot is extremely skillful, and manages to take on 10 pilots solo and wins.. That is a good story. If some scrub gets a jam with ECM, how is that remotely interesting? |

You say the sky is green, and I go tell you to look outside.
Then you respond with "I shouldn't have to fact check your arguments".
Seriously, it isn't my job to educate you. Do it yourself. |
