What I don't understand is... Why everyone is complaining about it being a bad solo ship. Not one of the fittings I have seen posted in this thread has been a fleet command setup. I haven't seen a single fitting incorporate gang warfare links. And those of you saying the infowar link modules are useless are just dumb, EW is extremely useful to fleets, I have no idea why you think that's a good argument. And I will state it again, you don't have to fit only info war mods, I fit seige warfare mods on my claymore without getting the seige warfare bonus.

And I'll say what I've said again. If you don't want to fit info war mods on the Eos, you're better flyng something else.

As for me being dumb, let me try to explain it in a simple argument. Let's say I can either fit a mod to boost armor resistances or a mod to boost the effectiveness of EW mods. Now, let's say I'm in a fleet of, I don't know, 50 ships. How many of those are typically jamming ships? 10? And which ships are generally primaried in a fleet battle? EW?

Okay, so if I fit my info war link, one fifth of my fleet are more effective, but only for as long as they survive and, with weak tanks and being primaried, they will die quickly. Once that happens, and for the rest of the fight, my extremely expensive ship, with skills, is doing absolutely nothing on the battlefield.

What if I had fit the armor resist mod? Well, it would boost the survivability of every single ship in my fleet, including the EW ships. They will take longer to die. Heck, every ship on the battlefield will take longer to die and that will last for the whole of the battle. Not only that, but I also boost my own tank with these rigs.

Can you now see the argument behind infowar mods being weak?

Another reason they were weak is that one of them boosted sensor strength, which achieved absolutely nothing when dampeners were flavour of the month. 'course, that looks like being fixed now, which is good, but it's another reason why thoughtful posters viewed the EW links as weak.

Not because they were dumb.
