When is CCP going to fix ECM?

@Alistair_Atreides

Now, in order to accomplish the same thing as in the past people would need to invest at least 60m,

Is that all? I made that while at work.

Lol, isn’t it fun to see the newbs all grown up and throwin shade on the forums, but way to miss the point completely

@Abruzzi_Oskold

Need to see how players adapt to the change for awhile longer.

How much longer do you need? Afaict they adapted by no longer using it… unless you count ECM drones, which are used now more than any of the ships that are specialised in that form of ewar.

@Alistair_Atreides

Too much solo players opinions here? Fleets are what this change was for.

LOL, ok please stop, you’re just too funny and obviously haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.

@Marcus_Gideon

They decided ECM shouldn’t guarantee who wins a solo encounter

If they did this why do ECM drones still effectively function in the same way?

@Alistair_Atreides

If you use ewar drones you are mad OP with flexibility.

No, if you use ECM drones, yes, but the other ewar drones are useless, which is why no one ever uses them.

@Makshima_Shogo

no one likes becoming completely useless just because someone pressed f1 and went afk.

So when are damps being ‘fixed’? Lol, and if they really were going afk it sounds like you were probably already completely useless before they pressed f1.

@Makshima_Shogo

like for damp’s you can burn in closer to counter them and with neut’s you can offline your mwd or sacrifice some rep in order to get more cycles off on your gun’s or for tracking disruptors you can fly in a straight line to reduce transversal

Burn in and get exploded, cause that’s what they want! LOL, you may have seen some leet pvpers in an AT offline their MWD to get that last bit of cap out of their ship, but in ‘real’ fights it’s not going to happen, because once you’ve dealt with that pesky neuting ship you still have the rest of the fleet to take care of, and now you’re without a prop mod… so you get exploded. And guess what happens when you fly in a straight line… you guessed it, you get exploded.

@Daoden

ECM was nerfed . Shortly after abyss PvP came about. Coincidence?

Exactly this.

I’ve quoted this in another thread, but I think it fits here too:

From EVE Wiki, for Posterity

Countering ECM

Now you should understand exactly what ECM is and how it works within Eve. How is it countered? In order to make it harder for ECM modules to jam you you simply need to increase your sensor strength. You can do this in a variety of ways:

• Get a bigger ship. Bigger, more powerful ships have naturally larger sensor strength: e.g a Merlin (frigate) has a sensor strength of 11 while a Raven (battleship) has a sensor strength of 22.
• Sensor Booster modules (mid slot) - These can be loaded with ECCM scripts to increase the strength against jamming. As active modules, they can also be overheated - and will normally overheat for quite some time.
• Signal Amplifiers (low slot) - These modules are similar to Sensor Booster modules but use low slots and give smaller bonuses.
• Remote Sensor Boosters - These allow you to remotely project ECCM script support on to your friend’s ship.
• Gravimetric / Magnetometric / Radar / Ladar Sensor Compensation skills - Increase sensor strength by 4% per level of their respective sensor types.
