Don’t you get that this is MEANT this way?

This is the first step(of many) to push back pvp into the nishe where it belongs.

The times of a way to see the game is dominating the style of the game are over since the sell.

That’s what this is all about…

You don’t believe it? Well you will in the months and years to come…

As a simpler solution, you could make the changes only affect the 500MN MWD and not the 100MN AB?

huuuuu yeah @CCP_Falcon ,don’t you think that you can wait for a solution for wormholers instead of pushing that HIC nerf? Just so you know, we use HIC on a daily basis to roll our static, so removing that option is just gonna push us away from the game, since we won’t be able to close crit holes without getting trapped on the other side…

I’m not gonna complain about wormholers being second class citizens, but damn, can’t you try at least to work on that module fast? Cause we won’t wait a year for you to figure a solution.

a lot of paid subscriptions are gonna fleeing the W-space with that kind of irrespect for your community…

Oh jeez. If that’s how I works I should be really careful cause I’ve got a Planet Fitness membership. One of the other members could be a bank robber or a murder after all and I don’t wanna go to jail. Anywho remember how this all started because you were adamant that that CCP did not support HIC rolling in wormholes and you were wrong?

im looking forward to simply using two falcons and laughing my ass off if anyone tries to counter by jamming either of them…

Honestly not very well thought out, most of the ‘issues’ that stem from ecm use is solo pilots when faced by a gang? this ‘fix’ likely wont really resolve that.

And sov nul blobs complaining about needing to field proper comps instead of blobs?

Please make all fleet interceptors capable of sub-two second align. Under the proposed change to nullification a Caldari pilot would have no travel 'ceptor option.

Ok this update is ■■■■■■ all over I have a problem with just about everything here for good reason.  
Not going to mention captor changes as I have never faced the ceptor menace in null.

1.ECM  
I agree this needs fixing but this is not it as you have just ■■■■■■ over soooo many play styles of it.  
Griffin Navy solo…gone.  
My Dual ASB Rook…gone.  
And what about burst jammers? Well they are useless now…like actually completely useless.

Let’s use my Rook as an example.  
Pilgrim neuts out cap super fast to eliminate tank and dps.  
Arazu nukes lock range so they are unable to target me or my fleet mates.  
Rapier Web’s out at long range to prevent brawlers getting close.  
Rook prevents drones and high dps capless gun targets from doing dps.

Now on the above each one has it’s uses and I have all 4 and use all 4 at various times. However if this change goes through I am going to be selling my Rook as it will be next to useless for attacking people in wormholes.

The reality is if this change goes through all ecm ships need brawler ship’s level of tank eg my Rook needs the tank of a Cerberus or more to have any chance of living in a fight.

And what about Citadel ECM? That is going to be truly ■■■■■■.

2.Hic’s.  
I think this has been raged about enough already you need to sort rolling HIC’s BEFORE!!! this fix can happen. It’s that simple.

3.Demavik.  
Oh…2 mid’s isn’t enough?..I’m shocked.  
But what makes you think 3 lows is enough for an armor tanked frigate. I needs another mid but it can’t loose that low slot. Give it that other mid without removing the low slot.  
You guys rely far to much on moving slots rather than just straight up removing or adding them.

Over all it seems this has not been thought out at all you need to sort your ■■■■.

Yes, that make this ECM change a bad idea. Even if the cycle would be shorter, and after a succesfull you cannot activate on the same target for 2 cycle.

An easy soultion that would make all happy with the HICs:  
Do not allow an active bubble and MWD at the same time. Just don’t let the module activate while the other one is running. This would satisfy the majority of 0.0 and WH residents.

That is what sensor damps do… which is what will be used instead of ecms…

EDIT: Mistake, they only decrease range of lock…
