Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi! I've always asked to my self why we have 4 races and just 7 types of EWar "attacks". Each race have figates and cruisers t1/t2 addicted to the electronic warfare, with the variants t2 more specialized and capable to work on a second type of EWar: Amarr ships have bonuses on tracking disruptor module, but the t2 variants work even on the capacitor drain; Gallente ships have bonuses on sensor dampener, and t2 variants work on warp jammers too; Minmatar frigate and cruiser work on target painter, t2 variants have bonuses even on stasis webifiers; Caldari ships are the only one race that both t1 and t2 variants have bonuses only on one EWar attack, ECM. The point is: why Caldari are the only race that has just one type of EWar bonuses?
My idea: put in game a new type of EWar modules (like missiles tracking disruptors), and adjust the Caldari specialized ships to the new EWar modules, so each race in game will be balanced to have (for the variant t2 frigates and cruisers) bonuses to 2 EWar module types.
Hope dev will find this one as a good idea, and i hope i have helped to improve the game.

Regards

The point is not the powerful of EWar attacks, but the balance: probably a Rook that fits ECM does not fit (keeping my suggest to put missiles tracking disruptors) the new EWar module, right like it's hard to find a Huginn that fits both TP and Webs; moreover, it's really important, in my opinion, to have a disruptor even for the missiles efficiency, and Caldari ships should be those which rule this electonic warfare attack.

Cause the jam is not a guarantee, at least not as cap drain :)

Nope. Missiles can be counted by defender missiles and smartbombs fire-walling all the missiles until they die. You can't do that with turrets.

I'd rather see a counter for Drones than missiles.
Drone disruptor mod, affects control range or drone tracking (depending on scripts)

At the moment it is too easy to just assign all drones to another teammate who isn't unable to target.

So...

• Webs don't help you track better, and being able to track your target has nothing to do with damage being applied.
• Painting your target also does not make it easier to track the target either, and as mentioned previously, has no affect on damage being applied.

Well, I guess I should tell all those vindis fitting all them fancy webs that they need to stop it and put on something useful.

Also you failed to bring in lasers and to a lesser extent hybrids, where nos/neuts have an affect on the damage you can apply.
