RL fighter jets (similar to some ships in eve) can be target jammed, they can have their radar all messed up and their missiles will have all sorts of issues.
HOWEVER they still have that big mean cannon on the front attached to a trigger which they can shoot at anything with. No lock needed, no fancy guidance systems, no nothing.
So i propose something along the lines of if you are jammed you can switch to MANUAL mode and fire your guns where you think the ship is going to go. Some people might even prefer this mode normally! (obviously lag might suck but its a lot better than sitting there not being able to do anything twiddling your thumbs waiting to warp off in your pod :P)
No idea how to implement it, or how to balance it or anything like that, so please...

A more constructive idea would be a module which allows your crew to manually operate the guns
Stupid Manual Targetting Device I
When equiped allows ship to fire while target jammed.
Penalities - -50% tracking
Or something along those lines. the op's point is unfeasable

Something like that would be better than current. Everything in eve has a counter except atm ECM it is a "win button" (if it works) for small gangs and 1v1 (in most cases).
Im not whining about ECM or wanting to nerf it (although i think pre cold war was better) but a module that would let guns counter it would be good (even if its sucky like FoF its better than not being able to fight) |

Honestly only having one ship / module combo to counter something is a bit crappy.
ECM is the ONLY thing where your only option is to eject / drop a can.... use the scanner....u get the idea.
Every other form of EW you can go down fighting, ECM you go down without a fight.... its not fun for anyone |

ECCM anyone? I happen to have 4 of these lying in my hanger right now.
Oh and a side note,
If you allow manual fire when jammed what happens? You are able to fire w/o a target lock. DO you realize how many Pirates would love this! The ability to attack anyone, anywhere, without tripping the autolock (bye bye passive targeter)! This would be insane, and tip the hat in the favor of the agressor. If you don't realize the person is a pirate (-.3 to me isn't an auto-pie number) then they don't lock untill after your fired upon, thats madness.
They offer counters to ECM, their called ECCM, Stop trying to make it easier to Gank me, I can only replace my BCs so fast!
ECCM is bjorked with the chance based jamming they brought in |

all im asking for is SOMETHING to do while being scrambled webbed and jammed.
scrambled and webbed i can still shoot back (doesnt matter if im screwed it feels like im going down fighting!)
jammed i cant even fire! i cant go down fighting. Even if i could just fire guns at random with a 2% chance of hitting anyone itd be better than twiddling thumbs waiting to die. |
