Instead of inventing an entirely new type of module that is useful in exactly one situation on exactly one ship type, why don't you just make it so a HIC can't receive remote sensor boosting while it's using its infinite-strength scrambler?
Well once he has his lock on you I doubt he cares if turning on his infini point and losing the sensor boost.
Although if you were saying make HIC unable to receive lock time benefits when an infini point is mounted then yeah. Sounds like a great idea. Not like their target acquisition takes that long anyway and balances to allow some ships specifically meant to get away fast a chance to get away fast.
EDIT: Just saw post above me. Nevermind I guess. If they cannot be sensor boosted then seems fine to me.

They can't be remotely helped if the module is activated, but at that point they already have the target lock. All the drawbacks start when the module is used, simply having it mounted and onlined has no negative effects.
So they can have a very good locking time.
Well that just seems silly. What kind of drawback is that? A drawback that happens completely after the fact of the thing it is supposed to impact?
Brilliant

And your assumption that remote sensor boosting these ships is not intended is based on what?
Just a notion that there should be a counter for everything in EVE and instalocking-now-you-can't-escape ships sounds a bit overboard.
I confess though I have not faced a HIC yet so I am not fully aware of their shortcomings. If you say they are balanced just fine and me and my blockade runner can still get away most times with proper fittings and decent piloting then I'll go with that till I find out the hard way.

Although tbqh if BRs got an agility and speed bonus instead of some useless repair bonus it'd probably wouldn't be unbalanced.
I'm thinking 5% agility and 5% speed/lvl of BR.
T2 Transport bonuses are definitely a joke. If I am caught my repair bonus merely means I extend my anguish a minute before I die anyway.
Never saw a reason to train Transports past L1.

With a 20% agility bonus you'll end up with BRs that align in like 1.5-2 seconds, which for all intents and purposes means they're invulnerable.
Yeah...so what's the problem?

Do infini points prevent gate jumping?
I have no idea why but I was under the impression you could not jump while an infini point was on you. |
