ECM killed the fun in small gang PvP. Now ECM is nerfed so we can have more fun. Where is the problem?
The problem is (for me at least)... Not only ECM was nerfed. But also ECM ships. Their effectivness as jammers has been greatly reduced. Yes, i can still come close or just above of the jammer str i had before but only by dedicating ALL the slots (including rigs) to it.
Now i am a dedicated ECM pilot. My ships or my jamming was never that much of a problem was it? I can jam a lot, true. But i can ca do nothing but jam. I cant kill anything but a noob in an industrial. The problem with ECMs was not the scorps or the rooks which used it. The problem was domis, ruptures and such.
Why the hell was i nerfed? And if you must reduce dedicated ecms ship jamming ability please give us other advantages.
Please. Remove the stupid ECM dmg mod and give bonuses to ECM ships which bring them to the lvl they are now at. Leave ECM rigs. All aspects of a ship get a boost with rigs. I dont see why ECM should be any different in this respect.
The point is that as it currently is on TQ, ECM is way too powerful. I don't care that a dedicated ECM ship can't kill anything. It sure as hell can keep another 4-5 ships from killing anything while your buddies kill them.
When I see a Rook or a Scorp on scan when there is a chance for a small gang fight, I just stay docked. That is why ECM isn't fun. There is no point in fighting something when you have no reasonable and practical way to stop it.
It's great that ecm boost mods and ecm rigs are required to put the ecm mods back at regular strength. Heck, IMO they need another 10-15% strength removed once everything is maxed out, and they'd still be plenty effective.
When I can go into FFA1 on test with a T1 fitted Scorp and jam FOUR battleships pretty much non stop, you don't think that's a little overpowered?
Because I said so...
