Yes and how many Damps did he use for that? Probably 3 on one of the specialized ships. And then, dampning a carrier isn't that useful now is it? What's the big guy locking anyway or, for that matter, doing in the middle of a fight in the first place.



IF and only if they slowed down locks in progress they might be marginally useful on shortrange ships. Otherwise it's completely pointless and even after the nerf, you're probably better off fitting a jammer.

they do slow down anyone else locking your , and if your in a smaller ship and lock first it extends targets lock time on you, your on ***** if you think not having to muscle through inc fire onthe way to blaster range is pointless
tbh i think ur just mad u can treat it like ecm, jam and go to 500 m, well sry dude u gotta use ur brain or some teamwork,

On longer range ships, sure, assuming you have 2-3 slots spare to fit them and for some reason you dont want to fit jammers instead, they're reasonably okay. Care to point out a ship setup that's NOT an Arazu/Lachesis/Celestis/Maulus that has any reason to fit a Damp?

off the top
yes , the megathron , with rails on and damps it would let u hit outside of your enemys lock range, oh and the tempest, sniping apoc, jesus man do you even use these mods.

I fly an Arazu. It has jammers on it. Why? Because it can't kill anything from 30-35km with the pathetic dps of medium railguns. Lachesis is a joke too damage-wise. So what does one do? Right, fit Neutrons (it actually fits), 2 point scramblers (10,5km) and jammers. Simply put, when I use Damps I will have to shoot at him within lock range making damps nothing but cap consumers.

so everyone uses ur setup, did you ever consider that maybe a recon is supposed to work with others, thats why ara gets **** dmg with rails., have you ever had more than one ship fit damps on a target. it puts u well within blaster range
and i know that with 3 damps one 7.5 ( for 12k on my skills)
lets me orbit at 15 outside web and blaster range and they cant lock me and i can use dual 150' with rails for decent DOT, you need to realize not everything is meant to be an instant kill tempest, as for the lachesis once again u need checked in to a rehab place for the ***** man cause with t2 hvy missles and its drones, it puts out nice dps again at range that u cant be locked at and it even has another mid for a web since lows are pointless to tank on a ship meant to block people locking it.

The entire problem is that ONE dampner doesn't do jack to most ships since it (again) doesn't change the scan resolution of a lock that has already started and that there are no ships, aside from the specialized ones, that have slots or cpu (or both) to fit more than one.

cough battleships, bc.s , oh and if u want em on anything smaller, they have to be used in groups to be effective GASP omg what a concept.
