EVE General Discussion

THIS THIS THIS. Haven't seen a better post ever

Intelligence.

you've never had to fight Goonfleet have you??

Imagine fleeting up to go pew pew and save something. the people you have to fight are the goons. You're inbound to your destination. There is 1, or more goonswarm spy's in your corp/alliance. Goonswarm know's what your fleet consists of, how many, and what you're fits are.

In the period of time it takes you to reach your destination, the goons have swapped out to a direct counter of whatever you're bringing, and are sittng next to a titan watching pr0n waiting to drop in.




OP - you say you want goodfights? Two people with gun's - shooting at one another. In your eyes consists of a good fight.

Let's completely ignore intelligence and information, tactics, planning and organisation. As if you introduce this into a fight, it requires you to use your brain, adapt - roll with it or at the very least be prepared for it. As you are right. these are completely, 100% unfair things, they take away from the simplicity of simply being able to aim your gun and scream "HE'Z A TERRURST!!" while pulling the trigger and walking away with a few dogtags.

How .... dare.... we........ have to even consider... all other aspects of the playing field when it comes to war!!


To be honest.... maybe you'd be better off playing Call of Duty. It caters to people whom find thinking about too many things at once difficult.

if you are going to use that many images, you might as well go all the way and use comic sans as font.

ECM in fact is very weak. BUt its effect is too pwoerful. Its impossible to balance a mechanis that is boudn to frustrate one side or the other.

ECM need a total rewoark on mechanics. THe effect must be changes. Not be able to lock anything is an absolute effect and must go.

I for once woudl propose somethign like:

Increase the power of ECM modules so they jam MORE often. WHen they jam, instead of loosing locks and being unable to lock, your locks are exchanged by lock into other things in grid. That include friendlies.

That way ECM become a tool that cause damage spreading. A gang under ECM effect will have some of its ships shoto wrong targets until they can correct themselves. But these peopel will not be as frustrated as the old ECM targets. Also THe mechanic is very weak if you want to use a falcon to help a single ship. BEcause if the enemy is alone he has very little options for target reselection, and the falcon is likely to become the target then.

But the tool become VERY powerful on reducing the coordiantion of larger groups.

posting in a stealth "read my ****" thread.

To be fair, they had 14! jammers vs 2 ECCM modules and 1 remote ECCM.

What you purposed in the link is that 2 ECCM should counter ALL the ECM, no matter how many are brought to the field.

How is that fair?

Ewar when used correctly is brutal. Ever seen what a Rapier and Moros can do? Or for the high-sec decers a Keres? I think Ewar is very balanced in it's current state. Fleet comp is everything and far to many groups run fleets with Logi & DPS only.

Buy marauder.

Fit bastion module.

Activate same.

Problem solved.

If ECM functioned as you suggest wouldn't it decimate an alliance like yours? In high sec that would cause criminal flags and invoke the wrath of concord. Ewar is very balanced as it stands.
