There's nothing stopping attackers from running multiple Entosis Links on a structure, or using remote ECCM to make them nearly impossible to jam. Plus the defender has to actually control the grid enough to tick the timer back down or the defense never ends.
No remote assistance is allowed, so that includes remote ECCM. The ship using the link would have to stack ECCM on its own (thus gimping its fit). |

Sure, they're more difficult to shoot down, but they're also more difficult to get into position and a lot more valuable of a target. It's not like shooting a linking subcap is going to reset the timer for that side, in fact it likely won't even stop their timer since many forces will use multiple entosis links on a single structure.
Yes, an entire fleet of dreadnoughts and carriers will easily win a link. Is that a bad thing? I say we should have more reasons to put capital ships in the line of fire, not less.
Something something :suddenly supers: |

Something something :suddenly supers: How about the e link will make ewar immune ships vulnerable to ewar while to module is active. You really going to use your super with an elink if you csnt br rr and you can be jammed?
Well, there's also controlling the grid and alphaing anything off the field with a deployed slowcat fleet to support said super that's using the e-link.
Encouraging the use of capitals to gain an advantage only contributes to the n+1 problem. If supers can be used, then alliances that can field enough supers/capital support to contest all the beacons will be at a great advantage. Granted, even with the penalty you can still do this, but at least it's discouraged. |
