Dev Blog: October Balance Pass!

Feedback is basically:
You killed it in small fights (imo most fights without logi’s), without giving anything in return… but it has been sad thousand times over…
So question is do you wont to fix the ECM or do you seek some buffs to ECM ships which would make ECM pilots shut up…

I still believe that redoing entire system would be way easier then trying to balance those ships. Simpler the system the better. I would lean towards nonrandom system based on this formula:

  • (jammer strength) - (sensor strength) = jam duration in seconds
  • jamm always lands and brakes all locks

It would require tweaking of the sensor strength on some ships but now you can easily control how each ship would be affected by ECM, some can be completely immune even to strongest ECM, on some it would just work like bursts, armor logis can be more resilient to allow them finish repair cycle and you can also ensure that no ship can be perma jammed.
All sensor support modules would have still their impact perhaps even greater.
