A special type of web. Their velocity reduction is the same as tech two webs, and they have a 10km range.


This is where it gets interesting. Aside from their 10 km optimal they have a falloff range for 10km. They lose 10% effectiveness every km into falloff.
Example:
10km = 60% velocity reduction (optimal)
11km = 54% velocity reduction (falloff begins)
12km = 48%
13km = 42%
14km = 36%
15km = 30%
16km = 24%
17km = 18%
18km = 12%
19km = 6%
20km = 0%


In some ways it's a "nope" module, the closer someone approaches you the slower they get. Also useful in fleets, where boosted and overheated it might allow you to slow someone down enough that they can't escape a bubble in time, although debatable.

For balancing, say only one can be fitted on interceptor, interdictor or heavy interdictor. Takes a high slot and about twice the cap of a normal web. Maybe not affected by hull bonuses?
Propulsion Jamming V of course.



Bit of complex coding but you can do it CCP!



Well either that or fix webber drones.

This. If you say started at 5km with a standard 60% reduction and worked down to like 5% @ 16km it might make more sense but would probably still be a terrible idea for those very sensible reasons stated ^^

What about taking 5% speed reduction after the current max range (10km),
and we drag that 5% outwards to an 100km range :
10 km to 20 km is 5% to 4% ;
20 km to 30 km is 4% to 3% ;
30 km to 50 km is 3% to 2% ;
50 km to 70 km is 2% to 1% ;
70 km to 100km is 1% to 0% (module shuts down)

This is called "as the limit reaches the inifinite" after i cahinsawed the 2 page description text.

Cmn kids , return my "like"

interesting concept but rather than adding even more range to something that is already bordering OP with range especially when combined with links and Recons.. 60% strength is also too powerful ..

how about switch its current optimal to falloff but no 2x falloff like guns allowed...

1km optimal - 9km falloff
Also reduce strength down to 50% max on T2 webs

1km 50%
3km 45%
5km 35%
7km 30%
9km 25%

I don't think we need another type of web heck i question if webs are too powerful and if maybe we should reduce the speed modifier to 35% on webs instead of 60% for t2 web. My logic is that speed is a factor in the tracking formula reduce the speed enough of a ship and even dreadnaughts and titans can hit an interceptor. I think if you reduced web strength it would make a more diverse fleets as battleships would need the support of frigates to take care of the frigates of the opposing fleet. As it stands now frigates are just webbed and then blapped by the BS (or neuted but that's another thread entirely)

My 2 Cents

I was thinking hull bonuses to normal webs don't affect this one, and it can't be overheated. So only fleet bonuses might affect it, and I'm not set on that either. It's as different a module from webs as bubbles are from warp disruptors.

Consider an interceptor going at 4000m/s, some can disrupt at 30km. And even if they kite is he really going to feel a 30% speed loss at 15km? This web can be easily escaped because the farther you go out, the faster you get.

It's really only a benefit in certain situations on certain ships vs certain other ships. Far more limited than normal webs or factions.

I can definitively get on board the whole idea of fall off on webs, except for point every other time of ewar mod has some kind of fall off modifier on it.

CCP can always go and readjust all ships with web bonuses after the change. Also they could add in an advanced web skill thingy that could increase its range of how far it could web.

Of course after fall off the mod would not do anything but it could still be targeted to the ship in question with no effect. This way a pilot who is not paying attention would be wasting cap on a mod that's not having any effect, but it also allows it to kick in on the start of its next cycle if they are in range and want to "pre-load" there web on the target. (i forget if other ewar only works when there in fall off or if you can put them up at any time)

To make things even better you could say this:
Base range on T2 Web instead of 10km would be 5Km with 5km fall off.

Skill thingy improves fall off range by 20% per level.
So with lvl 5 skill thingy you would have 5km optimal and 10km fall off on a tech 2 web.

This would effectively nerf webs even more but give them more utility with there range being better. Also this would have the effect of having them behave simular to other ewar mods like painters,tracking disruptors, ECM, and sensor damps.

This kind of change actually makes sense to me at least.

Yes lets improve hard tackle ranges now that we've nerfed tracking enhancers and made gazillion-hp drone bricks the meta of the day.

True i forgot to update my Tools, but anyway i dont see the Point buffing webs even more because Web and Point with the same range for soloers are simply to mighty.

Hyenas are extremely undervalued. It's an amazing ship in a small gang that you rarely see.
Hell, I've had FC's not know what they are.
