I feel ECM could be handled much better to make it a better mechanic overall. |

There is nothing you can do but watch the screen like you were in the middle of watching a sports game and all of the sudden your stuck watching some crappy commercial. A commercial of something you have no interest in at all. It could be an intense ball game, score tied up, adrenaline running high, clock about to run out, one team is in a position to score and.... Been in a car accident? You could be entitled to a large settlement. Call Elohssa and Sons Attorney at Law right now! We will fight for you to make sure your rights are taken care of. Call us today!!... and as you just saw, what a game. It really came down to the wire folks. One for the books! Going to be hard to top this one folks, what a game!!! Yeah. That is what it feels like for me.

As others have said before me, the biggest problem with ECM is how utterly boring it is as a mechanic, partly due to the frustration of not being able to do anything at all while being jammed but also for being so incredibly disincentivizing to small scale fights. I've lost count of the amount of fights that just havent happened because one or the other side had a bunch of ECM ships. "Screw it they have 2 x Falcons and a BB", anybody ever heard that before? ECM is an extremely ****** mechanic for the simple reason it prevents too many fights from happening imo.
Also, making ECM ever present by introducing ECM drones is probably one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived.
Just my humble opinion... |

They really need to revamp the mechanic itself a bit; theres just no other way to eliminate the massive frustration ECM causes.
For starters, changing ECM to -not- set your max target count to zero would be a start. Instead substitute with a mechanic that: 1) Prevents locking further ships 2) Prevents taking self-action against any currently locked ship. (e.g. Guns)
This basically should not only eliminate the added frustration of having to relock all your targets - but the way I see it, it would also allow you to continue to command any of your current drones, since you still have locked targets.
It also allows CCP to actually start being able to balance timers ECM more sensibly, for example cutting down the 20 second jam to a 10 second, or even 5 second (and adjust ECM refire at the same rates)- as they no longer have to worry about the post-jam relock that ships currently have to do, which would currently make that a really bad idea. |
