Dose no one think this is a good idea ????

Yea ofcourse I would definitely spend over 100.000 skill points into swarm launcher deflectors.
Ps I already started a similar thread but I was basic. You went into more detail.

But +1

I am sure CCP is still working out how EWAR will work in DUST considering it is a huge part of EVE, it would a little silly if they did not, I don't want to be a nay sayer against suggestions and feedback but a lot of the things that people suggest are most likely being worked on or are on some sort of list, I encourage DUST players the thumb through the EVElopedia and see the tech that is available to capsuleers that will most likely be adapted and available to us in the future.

I have no problem with this, provided there is a counter- say a target painter or something that can overcome it.

That way, a lone Swarmer could be defeated by countermeasures, but a Swarmer with help from a Forward Observer would not be.

I would support this if the paining device took the place of the main wepon and forced swarms and painters to work as a team.

This is a bad idea taking away a primary weapon so that someone can at one time kill that one derpship with that one module that stops the swarms from working.

No one would use it because the then have only a sidearm. also Logis would never even think about it despite being the ubiquitous support class in the game.

I say make it equipment it has no purpose other than pointing out the dropship and equipment is much easier to justify than taking away a primary.

I've been thinking ( i know i probably shouldent) but it would seem logical that in the time era that we are in that the dropships and tanks would have some sort of missile defense system possibly a mod that we could skill into. as it stands Dropships and tanks have only 1 line of defense against the oncoming swarms and thats brace for impact and repair. iv pondered on a few ideas.

1) if the swarms are heat sensing, then some form of acctive deployable decoy or chaff modd would be cool.

2) if the swarms are locking on to the electricall field of the vehicle, then some sort of acctive anti sensor/lock on mod

3) this applys to both electrical field and any other type of lock on, A mod that has some sort of anti missile gatiling gun ( only for missiles not troops or vehicles ) this would have to be an acctive mod

these are only a few thoughts and off course from the possible mods iv mentiond would all have to be acctive mods and have sufficient cool down times for balance and fairness otherwise the swarm launcher would become redundant. These acctive mods would rely on the skill of the driver being able to acctivate them whilst in the thick of a heavy fire fight or hot landing zone.
Constructive critisism welcome.

+1 But what to do about all them militia forgers. How about get rid of the militia forge gun. HMMMM

I was a tanker last build and everyplayer in the game dont need AV. Just the one's who spec into it would be cool. The minute u bring out a tank everyone brings out AV and that sucks IMO.

From the DUST 514 wiki:
' Fired in salvos, each warhead is fitted with an onboard guidance controller, which introduces random deviations and unpredictable patterns into the swarm's flight path, allowing some, if not all, missiles in the salvo to defeat basic countermeasure systems.'

tl;dr: Swarms are designed to get through countermeasures, so it's a fair bet we'll be seeing them soonGäó.
