Reduce their effect to 50% at the t2 level while industry model has 40% and meta is 45%.

Give them falloff equivalent to their optimal. Industry at 6 km, meta at 7, and t2 at 8 km.

When I. Falloff, a new speed reduction value is calculated based off distance into falloff, every time the module completes a cycle. Cycle time 5s with cap brought down to keep the same cap/s

I can not say that I agree with that or think that it is a good idea even.

never thought i would agree with a goons post for the full 100% but i do so TS why?

Offering clarity as to "Why" specifically; the concept of flatly slowing ships down is sort of "unnatural". There is no precedent for this kind of mechanic in any similar game. It serves to flatly decrease the range of movement options that the opponent has while under it effect. While that does have its explicitly intended purpose, it becomes a sort of staple in much of brawling in general and reduces many of brawling engagements to straight up slugfests where mobility is essentially negated.

Because of their line as a "staple" weapon they create an artificial commitment range where, once entered, combat slows to a near halt and in many cases can be inescapable. This directly contributes to the awkward place of brawling in general and the kite heavy meta in the current iteration of EVE. It is largely non-interactive like most forms of EWAR (which are equally bad in many cases) :however, unlike many other forms of EWAR webbing pertains a much higher prevalence on the battlefield and is not locked in its effectiveness to specific ships.

Instead of trailing on, ultimately, it is usually makes for a far more entertaining, immersive, and interactive engagement if damage application and interdiction revolved more around actual movement, positioning, velocity, and the calculation of these things; rather than simply slowing down the opponent as much as possible in a way that is very awkward to respond to.

Not allowed to post killboard, but could your reasoning be because you recently died to close-range pvp?

This is a very typical response to this kind of post, and I understand why you would say that; however this is not why I am posting this. I am posting this because I have a lot of experience with brawling, largely in frigates, but when I fight another brawler or other ship in general, the fight is always more entertaining when webs are not involved. I like being able to move and mitigate dps, pull a juke maneuver, boom and zoom, and do a variety of maneuvers in space, like one would if they were in a kiting ship; however when webs are involved, usually both ships are just sitting there. Doing nothing interesting but shooting.

OP, why do you want to stop my turret battleship from having any chance at all with hitting something small, fast and close?

Bring support.

I gave you a big list of things you'd be nerfing. You chose to ignore it.

And how does bringing support help if the webs the support ships are using aren't going to slow the target down either?
