As long as ECM is in the game in its current form all other Ewar will be pointless.
There is no reason to shorten targeting range, or screw up a guns tracking as long as targeting can be made impossible alltogether.
Also since CCP is clearly aiming at having EW mods only being used on EW-ships there will never ever be a good reason to train for anotherone then the 8 medslot battleship with 2 monster bonuses to the best EW.
As far as battleships go there will not be any semblance of balance amongst the races as long as Caldari get such radically different ship while everyone else gets ships that are based on the same basic concepts, especially Amarr.

As far as minmatar going fast goes... Unfortunatly the difference between a fast ship and a slow ship in Eve is MWD, not ship type.
Also ship movement is pretty pointless anyways, because warping is so easy and fast...

Edited by: Noriath on 07/11/2006 19:25:22 There is really no point in giving other races EW capable battleships as long as they have to use junk-EW that is not even close to as effective as ECM.
While I do agree that the current designs for Gallente, Minmatar and Amarr are stupid, because they pretty much aren't anything new, but just a more specialized ship based on an existing setup that makes the race even more one dimensional to play, if you want EW capable ships there first has to be an effort made to make all EW desirable to even use over ECM on a large scale, which is just not happening with dampers which have no extreme range where they would really matter, and don't work on extremly short range where Gallente ships have to go anyways. (Which was fine if they were good for countering long range atacks...) and tracking disruptors have the same issue, no range to speak of, tracking becomes a neglegable factor in fleet fights anyways, and in small gang combat there is just no justification for carrying a module that merely disrupts the functions of guns when you can just as well use one that completly shuts down all targeted modules.

What he says is that the Scorpion is one of the most useful and most used ships in PvP, because electronic warfare is just so incredibly powerful in Eve, and you can't justify only one race out of four having that kind of capability by saying that everyone elses battleships should purely be geared towards damage and tanking.

Originally by: Mush Room Load of bull. Other races have so many more lowslots that they can easily equip backup arrays, thus nullifying ECM. ECM is only effective when you choose not to protect yourself against it. This is how everything in eve works.
Sorry, but that entire statement is just stupid. You can't claim that ECM is useless, or not a major advantage in the game because everyone has the option of gimping their ability to tank regular damage in order to counter it, especially since there is no other way to defend against it, and the modules that do counter ECM don't give you a bonus of any other kind.
If the mere presence of ECM in the game can make people use up one or two slots to defend against it with mods that give no other benefit it is clearly one of the most powerful and feared systems in Eve.
Besides, other races don't get more slots then Caldari, they have more lows at the expense of medslots, it's just not like they get free slots to counter ECM on every ship.

Originally by: PSEWAR
Originally by: Tricit At least it would suit the Amarrian way to fight with the Battleships lineup and fire their devestating Lasers while the smaller ships line up in front to keep the smaller Enemy ships away from the own Battleships.
Unfortunatly something like that will never work in Eve, since most fights never even happen unless you warp in at optimal. People will never fight their way through a picket of cruisers to kill a battleship, they will just warp in, kill the battleship, and warp out...

Caldari still get the least skilltraining of all races because they only need one set of ship skills to get the best EW, the best PvE, one of the best short range PvP ships and the best long range PvP ships.
If you train for any other race you are basicly forced to train Caldari as well to get that kind of functionality.

Originally by: BugxEarl Caldari is not a jack-of-all-trade. They don't have a close range ganking ship with high damage output...but whatever, this whole Caldari this Caldari that is going off topic. Lets shift it back to something about tier3 BS.
They don't? Hmm, strange, I could have sworn a TP/RT Raven was up there with the most powerful close range gankers, and generally capable of a dozen non-gank setups that work brilliantly at under 20km.
