I mean, when you're building a ship 100% for evasion, whether it's plex farming or exploration hacking or PI or whatever, you don't need to lock anything, and the stuff you do lock isn't particularly time sensitive.
Wouldn't it make way more sense to create an actual penalty for stabs that caused you to make a real tradeoff?
For instance, what if stabs gave you a penalty to AGILITY?
Now when you fit stabs, you are making a real choice. Your ship can escape from warp disruption, but it will be much harder for you to actually get into warp. If you aren't already aligned, you might die or get bumped before you can escape. And if you're orbiting a beacon/hack can, or just warping gate to gate to gate, that penalty will cause an inconvenience... a real price for being immune to most points or scrams.
Stabs need to have some penalty, or they'd be an auto-include in certain real PVP fits. But it's a matter of what penalty makes sense, both for discouraging easy-out PVP and risk-free PVE.
I humbly disagree with you,people are already trading EHP,align time and/or dps to increase their evasion capability ,lock range penalty come as a second slap.
From a competitor point of view looking at exploration for example,an evasion fitted astero cannot compete for juicy cans he doesnt have the lock range for cherry picking the good one, he can t neither attack or defend because it ll be either outdps/or outtanked by other fits.Only thing u can do as an evasion fit is fly away if you have competitors.
From a hunter/killer point of view things are more annoying as you ll need multiple scrams to put him to the ground,but in my opinion you are taking the wrong approach to solve evasion fit problem ,may i suggest you to use insta lock and alpha instead of multiple scrams?
As i stated earlier people are already making compromises to fit such modules,but they also come with easily exploited weakness.I dont think aggraving the penalties would have a positive outcome but i may be wrong. |
