ECM Sooo Good!

Fly an insta-nado, see how many falcons bother you, given their cloak-delay is longer than your lock time.

Or you could just whine....

My main reasons for disliking ECM.

1. It is too random.
2. Causes people to lose ships without giving a fight.
3. Ruins small gang / solo PvP.

All of these translate into one thing: not fun.


This, well summed up. I was looking for the right words, "not fun" covers them nicely.

I "LOVE" to jam others....
I "HATE" when others jam me...

That covers a lot too...

Everyone is always repeating the mantra "Don't Trust Anyone" ad nauseum... If I can't trust the guys I play with, why bother playing with them at all? Fly Solo...

1. I guess you're against faction spawns and stuff too, huh? Those are pretty random. And, you know, so is which mission you get when you talk to an agent. And so is exploration site loot, or even the spawns themselves.

Hell, I guess you just don't like EVE.

2. Lots of things cause people to lose ships without giving a fight. Sebo-nados, as someone mentioned above, do the same thing. Sensor damps are just as bad about stopping someone from fighting. Here's something you should think about. Shutting down an opponent is smart, it's good gameplay on the part of the person doing it.

3. If I listen to what people say ruins small gang pvp, then we should ban or rework pretty much half the game. You got outplayed. Deal with it, and don't engage stupid fights. Yes, a Falcon uncloaking in a fight sucks. Too bad, get some friends next time. Escalation of numbers is countered by either avoiding the fight on their terms, or increasing your own numbers. That's how it works. If you want solo pvp, go spam duels in Jita.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

It seems like CCP could make a lot of money if they put a "I hate Falcon" or "Cuz of Falcon!" Shirt into their store Smile

This raises the question, why do small gangs and soloers keep using ECM then...it's evidently a fun fight for them. Maybe the words you are looking for are...not fair.

Or they could just bring an uncloaked Falcon onto the field after the fight is engaged. They don't always just decloak from nowhere.
