CCP Fozzie, please don't forget to balance the ewar drones

Finally, the T2 mods are better than the meta 4s.

Never change ECM. The rage inducing mechanic brings many tears and many laughs. To all the haters, come to the jam side, we have scones.

So uhh 90% of all tiercides make meta useless compared to t2.

Finally the t2 modules will become useful! This has taken way to long!

For the people currently complaining about how op ecm are, I would like to point out that enough sensor dampers can take your lock range down to below 10km which means you can't lock anything outside of that range, with no hope of the roll will be in your favour like with ecm, you will be for all intents and purposes permanently jammed until the jammers a) dies b) runs out of cap c) decides to stop for some reason.
Or has this changed recently while I wasn't looking?

And to the people saying that the modules should be scripted instead of racially aligned, why in the world would you want to give people a ecm ship that could instantly swap around it's jamming strengths!? Combat refitting is already on its way out and you want to reintroduce one of it's many symptoms straight away...

why doesn't the ECM faction like Mordus legion don't have legion ecm burst? They have lots of ECM related stuffs in the lp store, but no ecm burst

Any thread is a potential ECM mechanic discussion thread.

The above points are great.

It should be a single, multi-spectral-by-default module.

Script for racial strength... Maybe have two versions of each race's scripts, one shorter range and stronger, and one longer range and weaker.

Somewhere between 30s and 60s to load or change scripts.

A script does not 'have' to be instant swap. Treating it like ammo and requiring a reload period allows you to actually put tank on your ECM ships without having to armour tank them while still being able to adapt to the targets fleet comp. Higher fitting requirements in return might also be a good thing to make it hard to fit a full rack of ECM if they were swappable like that.

Yes, you're correct, I must have misread somewhere. It's 16 extra CPU per mod.

This seems to be a common theme across this iteration of tiericide. CPU costs are now higher across the board. Oddly this doesn't affect the EWAR boats so much - as previously mentioned, they are over-endowed with CPU (& grid) to the point where fitting costs are (almost) moot. What it does (& this applies more to Target Painters than anything else) is discourage the use of odd EWAR mods on unbonused hulls.

53% increase in cap usage is far more significant for EWAR boats. At a rough calc this will leave most reasonable Rook fits balanced on the knife-edge of cap stability without a prop mod active. The Blackbird and Falcon, which were already more difficult to balance, will be impossible.

With most of the low-slot cap mods being useless for a shield ship, and mid slots at a premium for both tank and EWAR, I'm not sure what the plan behind this is. Is CCP trying to force us into having dedicated cap logi to allow fleet EWAR to function?

I certainly know that the Pilgrim and the Curse have gone (even) higher up my ECM priority list.


EDIT: I've just read the Cap Battery Tiericide Thread, and I think the Rook will be saved by its aforementioned over specification. It should have enough PG & CPU to squeeze on one of the new large (Battleship-sized) cap batteries (not the T2 - either a meta T1 or a high meta), which is a lot of extra Cap and some CapWar resistance.

We're still looking at one extra mid slot mod though. It's hard enough bringing enough jams to justify yourself now.

The new names look great. Having the sensor type in each name will be nice.

It's cool to see some Rogue Drone modules added, too.
