If it works like that it'll be the most useless module ever conceived.

large gate camps, just another opportunity for a non cov-ops to get away and make people cry.

Also, is this a module that will be added because it is a well designed and thought out module, or is it there to promote the use of Sabers? If it's the latter one, then there is a problem with the dictors, not a use for a new module.

And when we are on the subject, are there any graphs showing how much more Sabers are used compared to the other dictors?

Ok this seems daft. More ECM for the game? The previous "nerfs" to ecm (well at least the first one) was to disuade the spare mid fit a multispec paradigm that was so rampant. Now they want to introduce a new multispec of doom

Are ECM boats going to get bonuses to this module? How will the crazy 30% per level bonuses affect this thing? WTF are you guys thinking?

Depends who you are. As a solo player, this might be interesting.

No, I would say that the only ships that will have use anymore in large groups will be alpha boats. FC will have to divvy up the alpha though so that not all are locked at the same time...ie something like this

1st squad target, lock, FIRE, unlock
2nd squad target, lock, FIRE, unlock
3rd squad target lock, FIRE, unlock

wash, rinse, repeat until the enemy is cleared.

You just have 1-2 tacklers on primary and secondary and then shift your alpha boats firing sequence. Your alpha guns need time to cycle anyways so instead of them holding lock you just have them break lock so the lock breaker doesn't kick in. This way you never have more than 11-12 ships locking the target.

What this does do is absolutely kill hybrids in large to middle fleets which rely on higher rate of fire but consistently applying damage. Too hard to manage like the above and must keep lock. So winmatar just became that much better. For small gang/solo nothing really changes as the mod then does not apply.

This will also be a real pain for younger low skilled groups that try to use numbers to take down insanely tanked ships. I guess our 40-50 man dessy roams are over unless maybe we can pull it off with arty thrashers but probably not. It kind of smells like WOW where it will be extremely hard now to take down the uber ships/high skilled pilots. So much for the social game. Bitter vets though will love this mod until they run into a Tornado fleet of these using the tactic I just described.

Hate it. -1

this module is dumb, both in concept and execution

And confirming the fact that you only have to activate it once and gtfo

Kind of seems like that would be important enough to list in attributes, don't you think?

If that's the case then maybe, just maybe this module is balanced. Especially since you can't fit it on battlecruisers anyway. I'm curious as to why these three ship classes and only these three ship classes are allowed to use it. Special casing black ops seems... unusual.

Looks like it could be a very interesting module.

I'm very curious as to what the chances of breaking locks will be, but will certainly need some carefull balancing. It also appears to be an anti-blob weapon, which is something game could certainly need more off.
