Countermeasures

[Dejavu]

I've always got a CM mounted but never use it, I find it useless even against missiles.
I have been in several fights with missile spammers and its no use at all.

I cant remember the last time a heavy CM actually deterred a cruise disruptor on my order carrier. I get disrupted every time a red NPC shows up within 2.5k, and the npc's dont even use train disruptors in most areas.

I've come to the conclusion that countermeasures are positively FUBAR'd in 4.85.

They were always like that.... However during abrief period of time while developing CM's were tested and made so they were bloody excellent against CD's to a point where most ships would be unCDable... we decided against it... it can be tweaked if enough of a public demmand would be provided..

Jure, could the stats be made halfway between where they were that made them insanely good and the current?

Alternately, could they be made that good but be far more restricted in capacity? That could really help with the multiple CM ships, too, even as it gives them something to stand out.

I think ammo capacity is fixed for everything that requires ammo.

Now, bumping ammo down to about 20 for everything would be great, I feel.

So re-set it to the vanilla ammo cap?

If the stats of the Countermeasures are made better.. the prices need to go up.

If a Missile spammer is spending $3000 a missile, but they can be easily deterred with a $500 countermeasure..

the CM is useful specially if you do not have CD.

Dream Theater, that's kind of the point of countermeasures. Spend something cheap so your expensive ship doesn't get blown to pieces.

Hey, maybe we'll even cut down on the number of missilespammers.
