I wonder what sort of people start whine threads?
What kind of stupid falcon pilots are you encountering that sit within effective drone range. Theres no way a decent falcon pilot should be 'completely ruined' by a drone boat. Also Suggesting FoF's as an effective counter to ecm is absolutely ********. ECCM is also not effective enough. In order to fit enough to effectively stop you from spending a whole fight jammed you make your ship practically useless for pvp. What's the effective range of a drone boat? Ever hear of Drone Link Augmentors? Well, what's the range?
I see I have to have a chat with Rico, he seems to recruit "not so very smart pilots" again.
Let's pretend the Falcon sits at optimal. Let's also pretend you have a sub-optimal setup on your ship where you sacrifice a vital highslot for a drone link aug (I know this makes your ship worse, but let's pretend, just to please this lolGustav). Let me then ask you a few questions.. a) How long does it take for your average light/medium/heavy drones to travel the ~70km the Falcon is likely to sit at? b) How likely is it that the Falcon doesn't move, effectively "increasing" this travel range? Or are you always going to run away from the Falcon, hoping he goes closer so the drones travel shorter distance? c) How likely is it that the Falcon and/or his pals won't kill your drones before they even arrive where he was? d) How do you plan to send your drones to the Falcon if he's already jammed you before/after your drones were deployed, so you didn't get a certain auto-aggro on him in particular?
There's more to it, but I think we should start there, am worried you'd get a headache from all the advanced thinking here. And since your corp used to fly with mine, I'll be nice this time. <3 this is a signature |

I definitely think you should talk to Rico. He'll be amused when you tell him how lol you think I am.
Sentry drones have no travel time. They apply damage immediately. Do you have any other points, or do your insults hang strictly on the incredibly uninformed assumption of drone travel time?
By the way did you know that a properly fit Sentry Dominix actually has Omnidirectional Tracking Links for just such movement? I did say "Drone Boat" after all.

Basline, no rigs, around 65K. Note that it can reach past your targeting range, so the drones will respond to an attack from beyond it.
ECM drones should be left alone. Switching out attacking drones with ECM drones is a major DPS drop for those specialized in drone ships. Often the ECM drone is the only defense one might have against a warp scramming ship outside of nuet range.

For the love of...
People, the ECM boat is the Eve equivalent of the lock down class found in any other MMO out there. They either spam stuns or have skill sets designed to lock down or interrupt other players skills. They always trade supreme ability at what they do for horrible survivability and are at their most annoying in 1v1. If you take them on alone you will not win. They might not kill you wither but you won't kill them. I don't always use hax. But when I do, it's because I'm an NPC.. http://i.imgur.com/PUZou.jpg

Patently false.
If you get tech ii sentries out before they hit "jam" they're dead in two volleys, three tops.

This is an interesting analysis.
I always assumed that the bonuses were meant to interfere with enemy ships.
Minmatar use projectile-based weapons with not-so-hot turret tracking and MWD, so Amarr neut them to slow them down and disrupt them to augment the effectiveness of their armor.
Amarr use big slow boats, so Minmatar exploit that by increasing their sig radius even further, and slowing them down to boat anchor mode.
Gallente use boats with drones and hybrids which prefer close-range combat, so the Caldari take away their lock capability from a respectable range.
Caldari use capless, tracklingless missiles and prefer to engage at range, so Gallente boats hobble their range and feature long points to compensate for the range discrepancy.
I am by no means convinced that I'm "right" about the intended design, but it's an interesting comparison to see the two viewpoints, just the same. He who trolls trolls best when he who is trolled trolls the troller. -Darth Gustav's Axiom |

What you posted is something I kind of felt was the case over the years- each faction is mainly geared to take on their enemy. That's my take on it.

Here's a tidbit that someone might be able to help me with:
When I started in 2006 I fitted an ECM module, one of those burst ECMs for jamming everything in range, and my drones switched sides on me - their symbols became red plusses.
Does this still happen? Have not mixed ECM and drones on a very long time.

MWD+web+scram needs to be fixed - it allows people to get under my guns and then I can do nothing but sit there without being able to do anything.
HINT: There are counters to ECM. ECCM, Drones, FoF (though FoF is hardly a workable solution thanks to ROFL target closest object), even smart bombs.
And if the falcons outnumber you, the issue isn't that ECM is overpowered, the issue is that you are outnumbered. |

Falcons are not the end-all be-all of small gang pvp. Lost one the other day because my enemies used their heads instead of crying in local/forums. Gave them props in local and warped out. "How do you kill that which has no life?" |

You have already made up your mind. Nothing I suggest for a new role would be satisfactory for you. The Falcon and Rook's new role is to be crammed directly up your fat, neckbeard ass.

The largest annoyance with ECM is that feeling of not being able to do anything about it GÇö if it hits, you have to sit there for 20 seconds, no ifs, no buts, and then you can hope that at the end of the cycle, you might be given a chance to get back in the fight. It's the 20 seconds that cause the GÇ£permajammedGÇ¥ perception (regardless of whether it actually happens or not GÇö in a fight that lasts 100 seconds, a single successful jam that causes a 20s blackout + 5 seconds of reacquiring time is GÇ£permanentGÇ¥ enough). Making targeted ECM have the same effect as an ECM burst would have a couple of advantages: -+ Sensor damping would suddenly be very important GÇö yes, your BECAUSEOFFALCONs might knock the enemy ships out, but they'll be back to firing in 5-6 secondsGǪ unless you also brought a BECAUSEOFARAZU to ensure that it's actually 10-15 seconds instead. -+ Size becomes an interesting component. Instead of small ships being unavoidably locked out by ECM due to their low sensor strength, making that dreaded permajam that more likely, they will still lose lock very easily, but they will also reacquire their targets quickly. An ECM ship can no longer simply put a jammer on an interceptor and know that he is now safe from being tackled since the jamming strength so easily overcomes those silly frigate sensors. -+ ECM now has two kinds of counters GÇö the passive ECCM and the more active sensor booster (wellGǪ the active part is the reacquisition of your target, which is made all the more immediate with a booster).
This man gets it.

anyway mr troll, the cookie cutter sabre is fitted with a falcon alt.
Also you will find that the cookie cutter solo ships are things like vagabonds and cynabals which can run when the falcons decloak. The poor old diemos is never going to work as a small gang solo ship when a falcon can cut his DPS (buffed or not) to 0 whilst in scram web range. |

Reccon V and related skills to V with 3 Scripted range damps -because stackingpenaltysucksassonmyshitdamps- you'll bring an unscripted/sebo Battleship targeting range from an average of 85km to about 15km.
With 3 damps scripted targeting speed, wich is completely useless unless very specific situations, you're less usefull in the field than 3Ecm drones + 2warriors in a mining barge. -wait again specific situations for gallente? wow [email protected]
Instead of just nerfing nerfing nerfing why just not add as drawback of using ECM on someone, the specific (again???) drawback of increasing the targeted ship scan strenght to 100% for a minute or 2 and of course cumulative by the number of jams used.
It's not a nerf, would just make it more interesting to use since you'd need more than a troglodyte mongoloid F1 monkey arse to use ECM effectively. |
