-85% penalty to ECM optimal range and falloff



What is the intended meaning of this line? Is it an 85% bonus to ECM range and falloff with a side of confusing double negative? Or is this ship going to have an effective ECM range of 6.45+7.2?

i don't really see the point of these ships at all, i mean what do they add too the game? .. its like saying lets add ecm too a merlin.. just whats the point? .. why not spend the time fixing T3 cruisers and dessies instead...

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Nerf web strength, Make the blaster Eagle worth using

I love me some ewar, but even I'm curious what need these ships fit... are there other things that could benefit attention? I would think so.. That Maulus needs a nerf right off the bat though. 5m3 drone bay to start.

Let us know what you think!

That's what I think about the changes and ewar in general!

So why do Minnies get web range, but Amarr no neut range?
Years ago I thought of ewar something like this

T1 Ewar (use for tactical advantage):
Amarr - Tracking Disruption
Minmatar - Target Painting
Gallente - Sensor Dampening
Caldari - ECM (with no range bonus, less strength or less midslots)

T2 Ewar (use for disabling ships):
Amarr - Energy Neutralizer
Minmatar - Web (range)
Gallente - Scramble (range)
Caldari - ECM (range and strength)

Geddon has neutrange? Caldari has the Scorpion? What's with Minmatar and Gallente?
Dragoon has neutrange, too?

Does this make sense? Do you get what I try to imply? So many questions, I know Big smile

vigil and maulus look cool

not sure about the crucifier, weapon disruption isn't really all that much of a thing. might change with the missile disruption (i assume the bonus applies to those aswell?)

good to see that the griffin comes with a built in nerf.

all in all, more ewar is not exactly what the game needs. i'd rather see ECM and damps fixed before the introduction of new specialised hulls.

"I think I will take twelve Maulus Navy Issues, please."

Death to all Relic Ninja's!

Some exciting and interesting looking fits. Looks to be a good way to shake up the FW meta. Not that I am into that, but new ships which are accessible to younger players and offer an interesting approach seem like a good thing.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

The ecm range is stupid and so is that Maulus - has the garmur taught you nothing?

Sigh.

Heated web or scram is already higher range then optimal+falloff for the navy griffin >.< (around 50% chance to miss, not counting the chance to actualy jam the target)

ECM will still be bad. Can we have an EWAR rebalance soon please? Maybe before these ships go into the wild?

I like the missile damage bonus on the Vigil Navy. Please follow that damage pattern to all damage type bonused missile ships plz.

Scram kiting Navy Maulus already OP.

What's stupid about the range? It can't project ECM very well past... what, 15km? Sad

The Gallente Frig will be awesome. I think the Amarr Ewar frig will be under utiliized because it does less dps than the slicer and not as useful as a Sentinel.

edit: actually just noticed the small drone bay on the Navy Crucifier. It should be alright.

Is there any particular reason why the Maulus Navy and the Vigil Fleet seem to be more like their T2 EAFs than the Crucifier Navy and the Sentinel.

Maulus Navy (point range + a random point strength outta nowhere)
Vigil Fleet (web range)
Crucifier Navy (you would think would have a neut/nos range bonus, if we're following the same trajectory here, no?)
Griffen Navy (who cares, cuz lol ECM)

Love,

These are beautiful. I mean +1m to those saying kick ECM in the baws first like but still, these look hella fun.
