I propose three new rigs to bring propulsion jamming in line with other ewar and add more versatility and options to fitting.
- Web range rig. Adds 10% to stasis webifier range (15% on t2)
- Point range rig. Adds 10% to point/scram range (15% on t2).
- Web strength rig. Adds 5% to web strength (7.5% on t2). So a t2 web (60% base) with a t1 rig would become 63%. 200 calibration on t1 rig, 250 on t2.

At the moment we can put ecm strength rigs on falcons, blackbirds and whatever else we want, damp strength on our celestis and yet nothing for the most important form of ewar, tackle. Please bring propulsion jamming in line with other forms of ewar.

Thank you.

What would the drawback be? Lower targeting sig strength?

I actually think it would be nice for cruiser and better ships to have a little more tackle range. I am not sure if this is the way, but if it was implemented, I should suggest only on Med and Large rigs, no Small version of it. Frig tackle range feels about right as it is.

Maybe increased cap use of the modules. That'd hurt frigates and recons (lach is currently pretty unstable just running warp disruptors) more than other hulls which is what you'd want.

I actually like your idea. You're not being too powerful on the benefits and extra cap usage would be a fairly decent negative side considering lack of cap turns the mods off.

Your argument is good, you idea is good. +1 from me.

I think the normal shield penalty for ewar mods would be fine for it.

I like this idea a lot.

are you suggesting that every fight from 2 ships too 2000 shouldn't be a warp @ 0 and brawl it out slug fest? that there should be variety and unique elements to different types of combat? i'm not sure you've been paying attention to the choices made by CCP's balance team.
