Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.22 20:50:00 - [1] Edited by: Ignatious Mei on 22/08/2008 20:52:36 Edited by: Ignatious Mei on 22/08/2008 20:51:20 Originally by: Ralara Edited by: Ralara on 22/08/2008 19:23:26 ECM is 20 seconds... You do realise that for the Caldari ECM boats, the ECM IS their tank as well as offensive "weapon", right? Amarr, Gallente and Minmitar can both tank and use their EW at the same time (although sure, as recons and EAFs, the tank is minimal) - Caldari can't really do that. On top of that, each EW boat the Caldari have, has almost next to no DPS. You think the others have crappy damage? Caldari ones are worse. At least you can solo in all the others - Curse, Rapier, Arazu (just). Falcon? Unless you're fighting industrials, you just cannot effectively solo. And who'd want to ECM an industrial? ECM isn't the falcons tank, the fact that it can jam from 200k out is it's tank. And jam multiple ships from that distance as well. Using your argument that ECM is the falcons tank then that means the falcon (a cruiser class ship) can tank 4 BS's at one time. Sounds a bit overpowered. ECCM in it's current form sucks because it has no other uses. Sensor booster counters damps, faster lock time/longer targeting range is useful even if your not being damped. Tracking computer counters tracking disrupters, better tracking is useful even if your not being tracking disrupted. No one cares about countering target painting. ECCM is useful ONLY for countering ECM's. ECCM modules need to be removed and a script added for sensor booster's that takes the place of it.
Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.22 20:52:00 - [2] Originally by: Liang Nuren TBH, ECCM works just fine. The only change that I'd make is to move them (as is, no strength increase) into a script for the sensor booster. -Liang lol, I think you were writing this as I was editing my post.

Sounds a bit overpowered. Did you know that a Curse can easily tank 6 turret battleships? Sounds a bit overpowered to me. -Liang How can a curse tank 6 turreted BS's?
Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.22 21:00:00 - [4] Originally by: Liang Nuren Originally by: Ignatious Mei How can a curse tank 6 turreted BS's? By fitting TD's like it's supposed to? Even one will completely shut down any turret BS. -Liang A curse fitting 6 tracking disrupters would not be able to speed tank. That means it would get eaten alive by drones set to aggressive. A falcon on the other hand can sit at 200k tanking those BS's until they can close the distance. A 200k trip even with a MWD is going to take awhile. In addition, how often do you find 6 BS's without ANY missles. Warrior II's will also catch the majority of curses.

A 200k trip even with a MWD is going to take awhile. In addition, how often do you find 6 BS's without ANY missles. Warrior II's will also catch the majority of curses. A curse shortly won't be able to speed tank anyway. Also, please bear in mind that the Falcon can't speed tank when fitting all of those ECM's either. It's also fairly trivial to have the curse sit further than 60km out. And as far as a BS with no missiles... well gee, a Falcon can be hit by FOF's... -Liang Using FoF missiles requires that you are first within range of the falcon and that the FoF missiles actually go after the falcon as opposed to any other ship in the battle. You are correct that the falcon cant speed tank but it doesnt NEED to. As ECM proponents are so fond of saying the ECM is it's tank. My point is that if ECM is it's tank then being able to tank (jam) 4 BS's is overpowered. In addition, ECM is not its ONLY tank, range is it's tank as well. Range as the the tank on a sniper fit BS is fine because range is it's ONLY tank. Range as the tank on the falcon is overpowered because it is augmented (Quite effectively) by it's ECM.
Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.22 21:29:00 - [6] Originally by: Malcanis For the 10th time: make ECCM a sensor booster script. When a T2 Sensor Booster can give +60% lock speed OR lock range OR sensor strength, there is not problem, right? If you want to specifically fit your ship vs ECM ships, fit a second SB rather than an ECCM; 1.6 x 1.5 = 2.4x normal sensor strength - very hard indeed to jam on a BC/BS or even a HAC, and you can have extra lock sped/range when ECMers aren't around. That is what a lot of us are advocating.
Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.22 21:40:00 - [7] Originally by: Moonbat Kain i think most of you don't know how to use the word "tank" properly. Tank as it applies to eve is anything that allows you to mitigate damage.

A falcon isn't going to be permanently removing ships from the fight like a sniper BS can... it doesn't have damage. ECM isn't only a falcon's tank.. but in a very real way also its weaponry. Thus: Sniper BS: Range/HP/DPS Tank Falcon: Range/ECM Tank Also, 1 falcon at 240km vs 4x 250km sniper battleships... do you really freaking honestly believe that the Falcon is going to survive this? Protip: it might make the warpout. -Liang Your 100 percent correct, it probably wouldn't survive 4 250k snipers. I also shouldn't have to bring 4 250k snipers to deal with one ship.

I also shouldn't have to bring 4 250k snipers to deal with one ship. Then stop saying that it can "tank" 4 battleships. It can't. -Liang If you want to argue semantics to make your point, that's fine but you know what I am saying. I am arguing from a "What what happens in a everyday type of battle in eve" perspective. In a everyday battle in eve people don't fly around with 4 250k snipers in their gang. This is a internet forum, not a courtroom. Its like asking if you would rather kick a puppy or punch a kitten.
Ignatious Mei	Posted - 2008.08.25 16:05:00 - [10] As far as small gang warfare goes it generally happens like this. If they have a falcon and you don't then don't bother fighting. Like someone said before about the "infernal MWD requirement" a ECM ship is quickly becoming something that you HAVE to have. My gang uses a a "Electronic Support Domi" loaded up with ECCM and remote ECCM but honestly, it just isn't enough. The only way that we generally win against gangs that are packing falcons is to either bring one electronic support domi and have everyone in the gang mount ECCM as well, Or bring two electronic support domi's. That's a lot of mods to have to fit to only deal with 1 type of e-war.
