Name: Backfire/Backlash

Category: Combat support

Effect:

1. Targeted ships will randomly have 0-4 modules suffer the opposite of the intended effect on the next active cycle, number of affected modules. Weapons will cause ship damage, defensive hardeners will provide a penalty to resistances

2. Modules on targeted ship will also automatically go into overload status.

ok, i actually chuckled :D

would definetly make a good weapon for a CCP=fleet, just insta-reapir dead ships, everyone would be like "dafuk?"



also, at OP, wouldnt weapons, instead of causing damge to the ship using them, the ACTUAL oppposite of intended efect would to become RR towards the enemy? or if were going for LITERAL opposite, wouldnt they rep the ship shooting them instead of causing damage to the opponent?

Whichever is more fun, or could even make separate subgroups covering these effects....


... it's a concept, open for discussion. "Opposite" is a deliberately vague word. It can mean damage<>repair, long range <> short range<>, single target<>omni, etc.,.

Remember it's chance based though! So you might get a capital ship with 5% structure left!

Depends on whether any (un)lucky pilot boards it.

Target: Another ship with one of these mods that is targeting you.

Reality implodes.


This would be one E-war with the potential to be more irritating than ECM.....interesting, but no thank you. What mod would be used as a counter, ECCM or something new? Would this be a racial E-war, and if so which race?
