So - how about a mod that reflects ECM back?

Could be added to ECCM and should also reflect ECM drones effects back to the ship that launched them with a certain percentage.

Stupid idea? Probably, but it would help eves gameplay more than the cap battery changes...

CCP must do this. Only because it is a buff to a module that needs one.

It's all about eccm you see. Almost noone fits it. We want people to use unused modules. Like cap batteries and eccm. So there you go.

Not just because of that - they remote nerf neuts - a mod that requires vast amounts of cap an takes time to fully kick in and already has an effective counter.

Yes - nerf the ewar that requires you to be in scramrange on unbonused ships and its cloaky recon variant whilst leaving falcon alts and ECM drones untouched.

If falcons could only jam at 10 km range and ECM drones were just as useless as neut drones, they should still work on introducing a nerf to ECM before even thinking about Neut nerfs.

Along the way how about warp core stabilizers get buffed to reflect disruptors and scramblers back on the user? I could just see it now. You're MWD'ing in on someone, scramble them, and suddenly you've just shut down your own MWD. It would be glorious!Twisted

Only if you add ridiculous fitting grid costs that gimp your ship in every way possible. P

Fair enough - I'd still fit it.

ECCM works just fine but doesn't guarantee that you won't get jammed.

Yeah, so instead of a 98% chance of your drake getting jammed by 3 racials from a falcon, it only has a a 75% chance of totally ******* you! What an awesome, totally-worth-a-midslot, literally-worthless-for-anything-other-than-countering-ECM module

It's fine to let your feelings all out. I myself have encountered many a falcon but It doesn't prevent me from realizing the role it plays or flying one when I have to.
