This will never happen, but it should....

For all Caldari T2 & T3 ECM bonuseds ships add the following (or a variant)

20% bonus to the range and offensive effect of Combat Utility Drones & Electronic Warfare Drones

Rationale:

The past is the past. CCP has seen fit to upset the apple cart and hand out missile bonuses (see Minmatar and Amarr) as well as Hybrid range bonuses (see Roden Eris) without being bound by past visions. Why then hold Caldari hostage to a failing doctrine?

Bring on the (albeit limited) drone bonuses to the missile race.

All other T2 electronic warfare ships have a secondary effect.

Minmatar have Target Painters and Webifiers

Gallente have Dampeners and Warp Disruptors/Scrambers

Amarr have Tracking Disruptors and Energy Neuts/Nos

(The above always work)

Caldari have ECM. Full stop. When it works it is glorious (or OP), but it often misses. Not to mention no one uses these drnes (other than ecm drones) Why not give Caldari a secondary bonus that borrows from the other races *see above) to make up for losses in range of their hybrids and damage from their missiles? Feel that the ECM drone bonus would be too much? Remove them from the list.

Or you could give Caldari back hybrid range superiority,overall missile damage superiority, long range missile superiority, and pve superiority Missile damage application) .

Balance is better than nerf nerf nerf nerf.

terrible.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

Hmmm

The actual quate:

"Or you could give Caldari back hybrid range superiority,overall missile damage superiority, long range missile superiority, and pve superiority (Missile damage application) .

How about I propose giving Minmatar:
projectile damage superiority, Alpha superiority, falloff superiority, agility superiority as well as great missile/drone damage to go along with ships that not only tank well for shield but a few that also tank well for armor?

Compare that to Caldari ships then try again to pose your response in a word or two...again.

Give Caldari back overall superiority in EVE, I don't want anyone else to have ships that are just as good or better than mine. CCP rebalancing other ships to be interesting and useful is unfair, so I also want my mommy.


Short answer: No.

Long answer: Biomass and unsub.

Longer answer would be TL;DR and a bit of a rant so nevermind that.

my Scorpion challenges your "failing doctrine". I fly it armor-tanked in armor fleets because the FCs call for it.
