While I was going through Coldfront's Item Database I found something really interesting.
ECM-style Warp scramblers. Four Different types of Warp Scramblers - Ion, Fusion, Magpulse & Plasma. Here are some examples: There are 2 more, just look em up. Each Warp Scrambler has its own strength just like the ECM-Jammers have. e.g the Fusion Warp Scrambler has the following strengths:
- Fusion Strength 6 points
- Ion Strength 2 points
- Magpulse Strength 2 points
- Plasma Strength 2 points
Similar values for the other warp scramblers.
Now of course if there are Fusion Warp Scramblers, there has to be Fusion Core Stabilizer I. e.g. Strengths are:
- Fusion Propulsion Strength 0 points
- Ion Propulsion Strength 6 points
- Magpulse Propulsion Strength 0 points
- Plasma Propulsion Strength 0 points
There are other similar WCS as well.
What do you guys think of such a change? It looks like these racial scramblers will match up against predefined Propulsion strength values given to ships and the WCS will serve to boost them (just like the ECM strengths). This may or may not make it to production but it gives a good idea of where CCP is heading.
And more importantly, will this finally shut up the WCS whiners? --- Eve Database | Coldfront Community Coldfront Come in and feel the chill |

I personally think that theyre a brilliant idea, provided there's a multispectral one. ---------------------------

I think this is part of something that was a proposed change, but never got implemented - since the various races ships got those stats (Ion Propulsion Strenght etc.) after some patch, but afaik nothing more ever happended. I'm going by my memory though :)

As far as I know these additions to the db are recent, since I've been using the db a lot. I haven't seem them before. So I guess they had a change of mind, or had a "Eureka" moment. --- Eve Database | Coldfront Community Coldfront Come in and feel the chill |

ECM has gotten a lot better than the way it was before. YOu can clearly specialize in it, which you couldn't do before.

That doesn't make it better, it just makes it less open to abuse by low skillpoint alts. Kinda like the current state of missiles.
If ECM worked on the principle of probability, then sure. But one cycle is one fight is one chance.

Well for one its not as easy to just stack up **** and have a 100% success rate. Now its more balanced.
People counted on activating enough modules on a target for and on/off effect for jamming. That's why Caldari were so useful, they had FoF missiles.
Now you can have specialized players in a specific field (for example using multiple jammers) to distribute the attacks better on multiple targets based on success.
In fleet fights you can choose suitable targets based on range and defences.

Also, now that we have ships like Interdictors, Arazu, Lachesis . Warp Scrambling can be a similar specialist field.

You could stack up for 100% success rate on both sides of the coin, but that doesn't make it a bad thing. The more extreme your setup, the more you gimped yourself in other aspects. A Scorpion could jam you up real nice, but it would struggle with everything else. When a Dominix, Raven or Tempest jam you up, your tank will fail a lot faster.
Losing fights because your virtual dice rolled the virtual snake-eye is not an indicator of balance, and it works the other way around too. Losing targets because the Divine will of stackless python decided it so is bleh..
The ships you mention are band-aid fixes meant to aleviate the WCS situation. Preventing escape is not a specialist's fantasy, its the most fundamental thing in PVP.

So if im gallente and put a ion stab on, then that means it will take 7 points to fully scram me? Or will I be scrammed because my fusion, mag, and plasma = 0 and the fusion scram has 2 points of all of those?
In other words, would a fusion scram be able to scram a ship with a fusion WCS? Since the scram is 6/2/2/2 and the wcs is 6/0/0/0?

Having run into ships fielding ECM that have no place doing so in the last 24 hours i can't help but agree. Im in half a mind to put this in a sig.

Chance based anything is BAD.
Scrambling changes were dropped because they sucked.
Then again, maybe CCP were horribly wrong, and you could do a better job?

Hear that?
That's the sound of inties losing damage bonuses and getting + scram strength bonuses.

Remove multispectrals PLEASE. There is no enjoyment for either side when clicking a button means victory or defeat.
As for making the wcs/disruptor thing racial, im not sure why this is a good idea? Seems to me that its a solo piracy nerf, and force people to blob together with more tacklers to have a good chance of keeping someone in the fight, no?

Stabilizers should have more power than scramblers, for example:
stab in low slots with +6 scrambler (and other stuff) in t2 versions in med slots with max -4
And other thing: Fusion, Ion etc are a engine type, but powersource for all engines is the same on all ships (Warp Core). So add new scramblers with ion, fusion etc... are a little insane idea.
