Dev Blog: October Balance Pass!

Seems like the ingame market gives the best image about the ECM situation.

The price for all ECM ships is in free fall.

I didnā€™t edit that sentence. You must have misremembered it. Thereā€™s only one edit noted on that thread on my screen:

I have a licensed space will you represent me

Last night I was flying my Rook thru my licensed space (licensed by CCP) and spotted a lone Gnosis runiing a C1 sleeper site:

ā€œHave at himā€

My Rook is stealth fit so he didnā€™t see me until I landed on top of him, He was right on the warp in spot.
ā€œThis will be a close fightā€ I thought as I locked him and deployed my light drones.

My rapid light missiles and hornets were ripping his hammerheads to pieces.

My ECM module had him jammed, So for at least 20 seconds I had a counter to his artillery, my tank would not have to absorb that extra damage ā€¦ For 20 seconds my DPS would be greater than his and I was de-fanging his drones,

Soon I would be able to face him off - one v one - his drones would be scrap metal floating in spaceā€¦

Errrr ā€¦ whatā€¦ heā€™s shooting me but but ā€¦ I jammed him .
ā€¦ He does so much more damage without my ECM working
ā€¦ Oh no ā€¦ I have to warp out
ā€¦ Iā€™m going to die ā€¦ just made it out ā€¦

Maybe if I had used racial ECM to get a better change of a jam

Oh ā€¦ thats right my ECM does NOTHING against him ā€¦

ITā€™S BROKEN
IT DOES NOT WORK

Brisc - M8, be a swetheart and post a Rook fit where the ECM will work for me. :lips:

Heā€™ll tell you to either use a large fleet or to use bursts (because nothing else will work)

Stop using jams then you dishonourable poo :stuck_out_tongue:

but I donā€™t fly in fleets ā€¦ sometimes a small gang or 2 or 3 but thats about DPS and tackle not ECM

ā€¦and the Burst jammer would stop my drones as well as his

By the Jams are my Tank ā€¦ and itā€™s not even a reliable tank its a random roll with modifiers tank

Edit: or it was - now its a non existent tank ā€¦ Do you know how helpless (being without agency) it feels flying a ship with non-existent tank and offensive weapons that donā€™t work .

you know what i just dont care. I almost raised a support ticket to provide edit history of your post, but what i realise is that i just dont care, in the same way that the CCP devs just dont care.
I withdraw my statement about saying you are dishonest @Brisc_Rubal apologies.

i think he meant a solo fit cough :slight_smile:

I appreciate the apology - thereā€™s no point wasting ISDā€™s time, because I didnā€™t edit the post the way you think I did.

well at least we agree about that mate. have a good evening.

No no ā€¦ This wonā€™t work
I need a solo fit

The heavy missiles will never be quick enough to kill enemy drones and if I use ECM drones my opponent will be able to shoot my drones as well as me.

Whatā€™s your fit now?

As I said, he canā€™t do itā€¦

Instead of delivering a solo fit he wants to push the discussion back to you.

Scram + Web & Prop

DC2 + Ballistics

PvP Solo - so It canā€™t rely on passive regen for its tank, needs tackle, web and prop to keep up with opponent.
Web also helps with killing drones. Needs multi racial jammer as I donā€™t know who I will find wandering wh space.

I have really good ecm skills: vs the Gnosis I have a little over a 1 in 3 chance of jamming (1 in 10 if he has sebo with scripts) .

Which means if Iā€™m lucky, hit a jam on a regular enough basis to rep my shields, donā€™t get my drones killed, have enough cap charges - I can win - If he doesnā€™t have eccm scripts and a sebo in which case I can win if im really really really lucky

Edit:
If I think he has a cloaked friend, I may swap the web for a 2nd multispec - but that means I may lose my target by being out paced or not win because Iā€™m too slow killing his drones

So what were you doing before when the jams didnā€™t land?

If the jams didnā€™t land enough times then I would die

Edit: but when they did land they did something

Maybe CCP devs could see fit to exclude Combat recons & Blackops from this ECM taunting thing

I donā€™t think scorpions need be excluded but it would be nice if they could fit 2 bursts

In the past months, a Astrhus of me was attacked by three different corps.
I was able to push them away with a massive use of ECM.
All opponents wasnā€™t able to break my tank.
On the other side, I was not able to harm the BS-Fleets, nor to tackle them longer than 30 sec.
Either the StandUp-Disrupter cycle runs of, or if I launch my Sirens, they just use a MJD, but continue firing at the structure.

Yesterday I made a try with my cita.
Now StandUp-ECMs are useless.
