This blackbird landed 4 consistent jam cycles from 125-160km away. I was only able to fight back after keeping the blackbird outside of its 170km lock range, that just seems a little fucky to me. It would be nice to see some kind of change to Caldari EWAR to make it a little more interesting or something because right now it is boring af. A little less range seems like it would be an okay start but idk, I am biased Blink


To get consistent jams at those ranges means the person gimped his blackbird fit. Which means he had no tank to speak of. Experienced EWAR pilots will tell you, never not have tank.

I wonder if I have dampened him before. And what Estella says, always have a tank on your EWAR.

Belted Celestis

Drone Link Augmentor II x3

50MN Cold-Gas Enduring Microwarpdrive
Phased Muon Sensor Dampener I x3 (with Targeting Range Dampening Script)
Small Capacitor Booster II (with Navy Cap Booster 400)

Damage Control II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II x2
Reactive Armor Hardener
1600mm Steel Plates II

Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I
Medium Ionic Field Projector I

Vespa EC-600 x5

For my skills, it had over 33k ehp and was good in cruiser gangs. Don't knock EWAR until you go and fly one yourself. I pretty much stuck to flying the Maulus cause I loved dampening sniping Tornado range by 75-80% from 100km+ away. And my EWAR skills are not that great to begin with. EWAR is a good stepping stone for newbros to get into FW and small gang PvP.

Oh the rage tears in local were sweet to consume.

If your opponent ueses Ewar, he sacrifices tank, range control, dps or all of it.
To counter this, you have to do the same by either boosting your sensor strength or fitting counter Ewar.

I would call that balanced.

I just don't see the problem with ECM/EWAR. There's so many counters to it that it is not an over-whelming issue. On the other hand I see issues with piloting against an ewar player. I think before we start changing the mechanics let's try to take a more objective look at what can be done to counter this issue. Assuming you think it's your issue.

I use nothing less than 100% re-cycled HTML
