Ive finanlly cracked it.

In my dungeon below my mothers house, with many files, papers and photos covering all walls.... I have discovered the truth behind the fun consuming creature that is ECM

ECM is easy to skill for - makes newer player more valuable and feel like they are taking part. ALSO MORE SUBS! $.$

When a player jams out multiple other players, lets take best case scenario:

One falcon vs 7x 8-slot ships + 4 midslots = 88 slots disabled... 88 less weapon/module effects to calculate

Less servers needed, more money in the bank yo!



ECM will never die!....


Its far to good for business.

Additional: CCP love your tears, your money first defiantly, but the tears, oh yes thats a factor. This post has probably fed one or two balance hoe devs for the night already.

Oh yeah ECM sucks ass and is boring for all!

Because the sheer existence of ECM must astronomically reduce the server loads.

That's funny, I thought it was Falcons specifically

So, when TIDI hits 10%, we need to bring 500 falcon and jam everyone?

Good idea.

CCP: Use NPC Falcon spawns to supplement TD in the war against lag.

CCP should introduce background ECM radiation to reduce server load even further.

If you're not using eccm, it's always likely that you're gonna get jammed randomly.
Using eccm gives you a fighting chance to resist the random jams, but most likely you'll still get jammed. By nothing.

Because not being able to lock anything is fun gameplay.

thats total crap.

in gangs of 3-10 players, using ecm drones DESTROYS any hope of a skill based fight and that, is a bad thing.

Not true actually, ecm drones are weak, if they are that good why don't you use them.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

The scary part is this is possibly true given the explanation for how the chaos thery node system and extrusions work on server ticks and why they much more want faster missiles rather than longer flight or other upgrades! Shocked

they probably couldn't figure out any other way to balance ECM beside the random number generator. Excluding player skill (non deterministic system) and its power (disabling the target) isn't very healthy to a game like eve, where almost any other in-space mechanic is or can be influenced by player skill.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Or just have super falcon that can fit 1 remote ecm burst per level ^^
