Currently as this skill stands it only shaves off 1 second per level on activation of the burst per level. Starting at 20 second base and ending up at 15 seconds. I think it should take the 5% reduction off of the REACTIVATION timer per level which would be a lot more useful.

upswags pls

*sigh*

Noob supercap pilots and their sense of entitlement these days....

Back in my day we were happy if we could cyno anywhere without getting desynced or bumped by a pod.

(but it'd be cool if they did something with the skill to make it worth training, or maybe if they tweaked remote ecm burst again to be like it used to be in the good olde days)

i believe it should be 5% per level or more, but having more than 20seconds instead? (so it becomes usefull to actualy skill this)

I agree the skill has a poor bonus, but meh. Train it to 4, job done.

Max skills would put it at a 225 second reactivation timer (from 300 base) and a 20 second activation timer (20 base ... since the bonus is swapping)

So 3 mins 45 seconds vs. the current 5 minutes

Should the module be redesigned so that the other EWAR support skills (Signal Dispersion and Electronic Warfare namely) have a factor?

Right now its range and strength are pegged at 150+20km and 25 strength. It's a very static module.

I don' t think the Electronic Warfare skill will have too much of an effect to be honest. I think neuting out a burst should be an effective tactic

Signal dispersion would be an interesting upgrade though. 31.25(?) strength with max skills would be welcome especially with the newish sensor compensation skills.

ECM is for COWARDS and I cannot support this measure (unless it also instapops all dic bubbles on grid)

There's no use crying after every mistake, you just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake.

Maybe if you could trigger your ECM burst more often we wouldn't be such enemies.

OP updated with the reddit discussion. With the little bit that's there.
