How do you feel about EWAR Balance (including EWAR drones)?
Do you think super's are balanced now, or require more work?

You'll be getting my vote anyway but

Also, more taylor swift~.

In large scale combat, EWAR works the way it should - the ewar mods get put on the weakest ships, it is rather burdensome to coordinate, and you trade off from a different, possibly more useful, ship.

Ewar drones are a slightly different beast, especially ec-300s in a small engagement. You give up next to nothing for five little buggers that always seem to get off one vital jam, even if the target ship has eccm. The fact that the best counter is a smartbomb is what is wrong - the ship with the EC-300s gives us miniscule DPS, while the target ship has to give up a hugely significant high slot. It's rather telling that you rarely see EC-900s fielded

As far as supers go, I'm satisfied with the first round of changes that were made - especially the logoff mechanics and the tiered HP reduction that boosted the Hel and Rag. But like many things in this game they do need more work. I strongly believe supers shouldn't be fight-killing machines, but at the same time they shouldn't be dust-collecting heaps of rubbish either. For this to happen there needs to be a voice of experience to provide insight into how the ships are used and what they are capable of. There's plenty of data, and don't get me wrong I love me some data, but I find that data without context is meaningless. With regard to supercaps, I can confidently say that I am the most qualified to provide that context.
