Hello guys,
I've been wondering, what impact does a Stasis Webifier really have on transversal with two targets orbiting eachother?
The speed would be lowered on the target ship, making its orbit slower but would it have any effect if the webbed ship was initially slower aswell?
If not then I assume that webifiers in frigate fights are fairly pointless unless you aren't able to track yourself, or your opponent is either faster than you or has a web and is trying to gain distance from you.
Any help to clear this matter up would be greatly appriciated! |

Question remains though, would it lower the transversal or not? That's pretty much everything I need to know.

Are you serious? You must have no idea how transversal works. Figure it out.
Yes I'm serious and you are free to make a contribution of your knowledge, if you have anything to add at all that is. The subject isn't as clear cut and obvious as one may think.

Whether the web reduces your transversal or increases it is very situational, if the other ship is travelling in the opposite direction then it will help, if it's travelling in the same direction then it will actually increase TV.
Ah, I didn't think it was possible for two orbiting ships to travel in the same direction but if so then yes I understand what you mean. At the very least you've highlighted the importance of the shape of the two orbits. |

Best example I can give is a pulse fitted Punisher against a Rifter, both have AB's but Rifter also has web.
The Rifter will be able to orbit faster than the pulses can track and thus avoid 70-80% of the damage. Without the web, the Punisher will be able to get enoough manoeuvres in to eventually kill the prey.
Well, the transversal between the rifter and the punisher will be the same. If you lower the speed of the punisher that may not necessarily result in a higher transversal (at least not if he's faster than what you are) but sure enough he'd be pretty much unable to try and cut the orbit (although I find this to be pretty hard anyway with close orbits like 500m ones).
I'm going to do some tests later and see...
