A seperate suggestion to the current Afterburner module or a new propulsion module.
There was discussion in one of the frigate threads about the afterburner(aka AB) still being underwhelming despite its current advantages when compared to the more essential MWD prop module.
Despite having no sig-radius bloom and other aspects, the AB is simply lacking - let alone as soon as one is webbed by multiple sources. It is also common for any tackling ship to have webs.
A suggestion I made did meet some support, so I insisted to post here after all.
As another interesting feature for the AB (or a third prop module):
An extra bonus that ensures the base speed to remain on 80% velocity, regardless if one is tackled by hundreds of webs or not. This would ensure that a ship could still maintain its speed without essentially being immediately marked by doom. Such ship could still perhaps make it out of trouble.
Situationally, this said ship could still be scrambled. It is also still slower than a MWD ship (duh ;)).
This specific "maintain speed cap" could be altered by Afterburner skill level, too, if necessary.
On the other hand,
a seperate new module could be interesting to implement as well.
It simply applies an "immunity against webbing slow mechanics", but no speed bonus at all, as it is just to ensure "you cannot be webbed".
For all, the ruleset of "one active propolsion module" applies as normal. A capsuleer could decide to go dual prop (or even tri prop  ) and actually survive.
Webbing specific ships such as Huginn/Rapier/Hyena/etc could still tackle from a far.
Penalty:
There was also a suggestion of applying either a higher cap need or even a scaling cap need effect. The more webs are placed upon the ship using this new AB bonus will result in it requiring more cap/power to ensure the bonus. So this should effect active tanking or even cap for guns too. |

I like this one - for Interictors and HICs. Lives up to the name.
Using tablet, typoes are common and I'm not going to fix them all. |
