Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.10 15:05:00 - [1] The only way this rubbish idea would have any use is if the ecm pilot could choose what modules to shut off. i.e. scripts to turn of weapons, tanking, scramblers or propulsion (yes you can't move) etc
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:57:00 - [2] Oh while we're nerfing things nerf dps by 95% I want active tanking to be viable again.

It is viable in smaller gangs and solo. Firstly solo doesn't exist unless there is a 4am crew of solo artists out there I never meet and small gangs still bring enough dps to kill any attempt at active tanking unless you end fighting a bunch of noobs with 1/10th of your SP/skill and in which case I still be better off buffer tanked/gank fit.

Because sarcasm is always a worthy equivalent to a well-founded argument. No violence is a worthy equivalent to a well-founded argument. I actually gave my preferred changes to ECM ships earlier in the thread but a certain someone couldn't make up their mind whether or not they wanted to nerf range or ECM itself.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 00:19:00 - [5] I doubt if any changes come to ECM to 'fix' the issue some people have we'll end up with a balanced solutions, most likely ECM will end up unsable for the next year or so with CCP busy doing the ongoing T3 development and ambulation.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 00:22:00 - [6] Originally by: Atlanton Marcus I have stated that I personally would prefer a balance to ECM than anything, so I can't be arsed to find who you're referring too. Three threads going on and I'm not even sure which one I made the post in I'd said as most people complained about range I'd personally prefer to turn ECM and ewar generally into highslot 'weapons' and then balance the ships out to be in the thich of the battle with proper tanks.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 21:13:00 - [7] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong Yes ECM does what it is meant to do. To bring in more money for CCP. I'm feel sorry for you that fails to realise this. LOL.. That's the only thing CCP exists to do it's a company.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 21:22:00 - [8] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong Making the game alot worse for many just to squeeze and extra buck is not the same thing as not making money at all. Actually it's CCP's legal duty to maximise revenue if making the game alot worse for you will bring in more money long term for them that's what they have to do. Whether or not ECM does that is another matter and whether or not ECM gets nerfed will largely depend on times scales on ambulation, T3 etc as they're big ticket items atm not small gang warfare.

Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 22:19:00 - [10] Originally by: CAiNE999 nice dent to solo`ing Something always is.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 22:46:00 - [11] Get a Cerb throw missiles without having to chase and go straight back to doing dps on the enemy rinse and repeat if the falcon returns until it's dead. I'm sure you'll find a Caldari pilot or two willing to kill to feel useful in a gang using missiles.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 23:14:00 - [12] Originally by: Malcanis Listen you fail****s ECM is BORING. That was my point. Yeah I can see how pressing F1 and watching those little guns firing is so much more intresting than me pressing the button to activate a jam.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.14 23:37:00 - [13] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong Originally by: Lilith Velkor Originally by: Amira Shadowsong All other ewar is stacking nerfed. ECM is not BECAUSE it is not stacking nerfed. ECM is actually naturally stacking nerfed. Do the math and you'll see. Hahaha, ECM is stacking nerfed? Hahahaha, no it's not. Please go away. Well it kind of is if we're talking probability, what's the chance of me rolling a 6 on a die 20 times in a row. Gief stacking nerfing on guns tbh.. first gun full damange then down hill from there
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.15 22:29:00 - [14] Originally by: Malcanis So yeah Kurt: you got any ideas about something more fun than ECM for Caldari EW? I've always wanted heat cannons since they introduced the mechanic. Scale the damage correctly so heat cannons damage modules at the same rate guns generally wear out shields/armour and they'd be pretty interesting. People wouldn't be so quick to overheat their weapons / tank modules anywhere near such a weapon.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.15 22:56:00 - [15] Originally by: Malcanis ooh that would be nice but maybe a teeny bit OP... unless it didn't affect all modules. I wouldn't do all modules effected via one cannon I'd do different types of heat cannons that effect different types of modules so you'd decide before leaving station what you're targetting. Sure you could mix to attack weapons/tank at the same time but you'll be half as effective against both and your enemy would be killing your tank quicker the numbers details would need a ton of work and it would add another dimension to combat.
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.16 00:03:00 - [16] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong What do you mean they cannot adapt if the target ship is not setup with the standard? You want to switch fittings in mid fight? I'd assume it means the larger the group the more variety of setup in the fleet allowing flexibility in offence/defence that you can't get in a solo ship. *** While personally I'm not much into solo stuff I appreciate those who try. As a general rule tho I'll bring a kitchen sink and a nuclear weapon to a fist fight if I can
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.16 00:54:00 - [17] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong Truth is that you have no skill. Truth is skill doesn't matter if you lose.. MMO bring friends solo might not be dead yet but we're trying
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.16 00:56:00 - [18] Originally by: Amira Shadowsong I don't lose. My kill stats are quite positive. Give it time. The numbers game gets them all in the end
Jonas Barcal Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.16 10:37:00 - [19] Agreed time for a close..
