CCP you need to nerf rooks because rooks are overpowered, like the falcon and blackbird.
Jams are automatic victory in small gang pvp.
EDIT: For those who are not aware, formal logic dictates that if I can provide one counterexample I can disprove a statement. I have just disproven the theory ECM is overpowered. |

No you haven't and the fact you think you have means you suck at logic. It's besides the point though. The main problem with ECM is the mechanic itself. It is a bad mechanic to have no matter how good or bad it is in the current game balance. If you fix it to something less random and less frustrating to the victim, it can still be a powerful e-war mechanic. |

The victim does obviously.
But yeah, ECM never should have been in the game in the first place, every other module in the game can be countered by either another module or with player skill, ECM has no such counter. (And don't say ECCM, even with two fit you can still be 100% disabled against a dedicated ecm ship.)
It's annoying to get tracking disrupted or sensor damped, it's "THE END" if you get ECM'd permanently.
Either way, it's pointless to argue against ECM, CCP doesn't give a rats ass about it. Never has, never will. Just be glad falcons arn't on the same level as god anymore. |

The counter to ECM is ECM..
A flight of (tech 1) ECM drones will nullify a blackbird (5 ECM drones x 5 strength = 25) and a blackbird only has a sensor strength of 22. Blackbird might as well just warp off at that point.. And thats just using the light drones.. Medium drones have a strength of 7.5 so with those you could almost relibly jam 2 bb's..
Not to mention how squishy they are.. |

You obviously have no clue how ECM drones work. Light drones jam with a strength of 1, mediums 1.5 and heavies jam with a strength of 2. What youre clearly misguided by is the drones own sensor strength, as in, the drones own resilience to being jammed. |

Damp them? Remote ECCM? Snipe them? FoF missiles? Rush them with tackle to make them bounce off field?
Eve Uni used tons of blackbirds when I was there and they still almost always lost so ECM is not a win button.

No counter to ECM??
I had a Navy Domi once. Fit it with dual ECCM. Had a corpmate try to jam me in a Falcon. He might have got one jam every five cycles, and that's being generous.
Drones. Drones set to aggressive will attack whatever is aggroing you, whether you can lock them or not.
Auto-targeting missiles. Think they're useless? Think again. Getting permadamped by Serpentis in The Blockade is no different from getting perma-ECM'd because either way, you can't get a target lock. With AT missiles, that doesn't matter, in much the same way as drones.
ECM itself is also a counter, as are ECM drones. Most ships will ECM you from range, so prop mods can be effective in small gang.
As both a victim and survivor of ECM attacks, I can tell you now, sometimes there's no way out of it, too bad so sad. The same could be said for ANY module or ship in the game under the right circumstances. Time to start learning how to mitigate those circumstances. Use your imagination.
That brings me to what I think the real problem is with ECM, though. It's people who have little to no imagination and want CCP to hold their hand for them instead of using the tools they've already provided. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

It's not broken, you just don't like it.
It's misleading to say that it makes a ship usless. Over the course of an engagement you will have % of cycles that land which is effectively a reduction in DPS. 50% chance of jam on a 200dps ship = 0.5*200 = 100 effective DPS, so not different from any other ewar, the binary effect just makes it APPEAR more annoying. In a fleet some ships like logi may get all the jams on them, but then that's why you are in a fleet, use your fleetmates to help you counter the jams on you.
If you get permajammed by a falcon well tough, it's a ship made purely for that purpose, a cookie cutter frigate has no chance against a destroyer if they aren't prepared for it, maybe should just avoid it. |

A sheep is somebody that is blind to what happens around them and still does their own thing regardless.
A player says he does not like the MECHANICs of ECM and you respond by telling them. "ECM has alot of counters, you are just unimaginative"

This a thousand times. All these ECM and Falcon whine threads are virtually the same thing as someone coming on here and complaining that all destroyers should be removed from the game because they can't beat 'em in a Slasher. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

In a small gang fight you get jammed and your 500 DPS ship becomes a 0 DPS and 0 targeted module ship for 20 seconds. Then you die. Because somebody got lucky with a percent chance.
But honestly, just go to my thread if you want to argue. I'm not going to anti-ecm over the entire forums. |

Well that's OK because the other members of your gang are there. If you want individual contribution to matter, go solo.

And the people posting counters are basically saying that it's not a bad mechanic, but that the people who whine about it are just bad players.
If you think ECM is bad, you clearly have never run up against someone who is good at Sensor Damps. It's as bad if not worse. ECM has a chance to miss, it's RNG based. Sensor Damps don't. They lock you, and you're done. (both are countered by autofire missiles though, as opposed to TDs, which are countered by missiles in general)
And do you know why most ewar ships are used from extreme long range? Because they are hilariously squishy. Most of them cannot last 3 volleys from a ship of their size.
There are ways to deal with them. But sometimes it's tough luck, that's the nature of ewar, high risk (squishy) high reward (they can lock down another ship).
Surely this Falcon/Blackbird/Griffin or whatever else ewarmolested you wasn't by himself? Or did he kill you with drones? Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

Well this is most people's problem, but it's a fallacy really.
I'd be happy to have ECM go from binary gamble to instead using the % as an effect on modules. So a 60% chance of jam becomes a 60% reduction to their DPS, a 60% percent reduction to a target painters effectiveness, etc etc etc. The average effect over the course of any typical engagement lasting more than a few seconds is EXACTLY THE SAME. There's no nerf here but I bet people will not whine because they can presss ma buttans. |

The one I heard that was the best suggestion, is that it applies a stacking effect for every jam you hit with. The sensor strength of all of them is reduced, but when you land enough jams to stack higher than their sensor strength, they are jammed.
Same effect, really.
But I think you're right about people hating on ECM more because their buttons are locked out. Helplessness is so hurtful to their precious feelings. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

If your worried about ECM, bring some EWAR support and a sniper. Damps work well and they are an automatic success. Stop complaining, and start doing something about it. Alternatively bring drone boats, or a small stock of FoF missiles. Seriously, there are plenty of options.

Have you been watching the Alliance tournament? You see what EWAR is being most commonly used? Give you a hint, it's not ECM. Damps... Damps are currently the most effective EWAR you can bring in a small gang, if you know how to use it that is. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

What would the ECM complaint look like if EVE was not a space game, but ...
... Rock-Paper-Scissors: "Nerf paper!"
... Chess: "Nerf check!"
... Poker: "Nerf flush!"
... Tic-Tac-Toe: "Nerf O!"
... Dice: "Nerf 6!"
... Black Jack: "Nerf 5!"
... Russian Roulette: "Nerf bullet!"
... Truth-Or-Dare: "Nerf truth!"
Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |

best way to fix ECM is to make ECCM lower the duration of the jam instead of just giving a strong bonus to sensor strength. |

crosspost from
the major problem in EWAR is that it doesn't scale like weapons, drones, armor and shield reps or shield extenders and armor plates everything scales but EWAR.
so a frigate can do effective way more to a BS with EWAR then its guns as a BS will laugh at the DPS of most frigate`s
the lack of scalability makes it OP in some cases and totaly USELESS in some other cases. for example in a large fight EWAR is useless and in small fights it can be OP very easily.

My main reasons for disliking ECM.
1. It is too random. 2. Causes people to lose ships without giving a fight. 3. Ruins small gang / solo PvP.
All of these translate into one thing: not fun. |

scissors says rock is OP but paper is well balanced. "The stone exhibited a profound lack of movement." |

Fly an insta-nado, see how many falcons bother you, given their cloak-delay is longer than your lock time.

This, well summed up. I was looking for the right words, "not fun" covers them nicely. |

That covers a lot too...

1. I guess you're against faction spawns and stuff too, huh? Those are pretty random. And, you know, so is which mission you get when you talk to an agent. And so is exploration site loot, or even the spawns themselves.
Hell, I guess you just don't like EVE.
2. Lots of things cause people to lose ships without giving a fight. Sebo-nados, as someone mentioned above, do the same thing. Sensor damps are just as bad about stopping someone from fighting. Here's something you should think about. Shutting down an opponent is smart, it's good gameplay on the part of the person doing it.
3. If I listen to what people say ruins small gang pvp, then we should ban or rework pretty much half the game. You got outplayed. Deal with it, and don't engage stupid fights. Yes, a Falcon uncloaking in a fight sucks. Too bad, get some friends next time. Escalation of numbers is countered by either avoiding the fight on their terms, or increasing your own numbers. That's how it works. If you want solo pvp, go spam duels in Jita. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

It seems like CCP could make a lot of money if they put a "I hate Falcon" or "Cuz of Falcon!" Shirt into their store |

This raises the question, why do small gangs and soloers keep using ECM then...it's evidently a fun fight for them. Maybe the words you are looking for are...not fair. |

Or they could just bring an uncloaked Falcon onto the field after the fight is engaged. They don't always just decloak from nowhere. Rifterlings Corporation is now recruiting pilots for faction warfare solo & small gang frigate PvP. Visit our website at www.rifterlings.com or join our in game channel weflyrifters to speak to a recruiter. |
