Proposal

Slot: Mid Slot
Type: Passive (always active)
Effects: Reduce incomming Ewar Effectiveness by 40%. (% not definitive).

In Practice. You fit this module and all ewar types bar warp scrams are less effective. This would mean webs/ecm/td/neut/damps and friendly support would also be negatively effected, eg. Reps/Cap Xfer/(Gang links?).

Remote Version would be the same but something you could apply to your target offensively. make your own ewar less viable but reduce the amount of support he can recieve. (just an option)
Perhaps make it only able to fit to EAF's Or Recons? (remote version) to make it more viable for blob warfare and give recons and especially EAF's more of a place in blob warfare.

I believe this would benefit solo pvp and small gang warfare the remote version is only something to consider because i believe it would have a profound effect on blob warfare. (i believe it would be used enmass) Also if it affects gank links or not is something to be talked about.

Any Thoughts on this? its viability? tweaks?

Discuss.

Nice idea, like the idea of this as a remote mod. and since u can still be perma jammed with an eccm fitted , thus wasting a midslot, maybe a few support ships carrying this type mod could help counter ecm in gang fights , (if it was stackable ofc)

You asked me to look at this proposal.

I've not played much with ewar. Did some Celestis work in fleets when I was with the Uni, but only a couple times. Didn't really enjoy it.

So I don't have much experience with it to really say if your proposal is balanced or not. Or what effect it might have overall.

On the face of it, it sounds interesting and viable. Would be an interesting option when you know you're going up against ewar favouring groups.

Yes, yes it would lol.

Interesting idea, but it would have to have a heavy stacking penalty to prevent swarms fitted with these things completely negating logistics. And I think limiting it to recons+EAFs is a must, if not only EAFs.

Probably giving it ~50k max effective range would be a good idea too, otherwise it would become standard practice to just have a load of EAFs orbiting enemy fleets at 100KM messing with their logistic's cap chains.

I think part of the reason you don't often see recons in blob warfare is due to price and tank, they are quite expensive and have very little EHP. Given this role they would also almost certainly become primary in every single fight, so I doubt you'd find many people willing to fly them head first into a blob Lol

One module countering every other ewar module? lol, you dont like ewar do you?
that would make it even less attractive to use other ewar types than ecm, since only target breaking ewar could counter it effectively (the remote type)

for the medslot self used module: yeah, make ganking fits even more easy to do, until its only a EHP vs DPS fight out there

this isn't meant to be a counter for falcons its supposed to be a soft counter to most forms of ewar, doesn't elimiate ewar just makes a single ship more resilient against it. and in return for being more resilient makes it harder to recieve friendly support too.

This is probably a very good idea. Especially since EAFs are looking for a role to fulfill in EVE.
