Thread: If e-pulse were to be replaced.....
Hell, I'd give freelancers the ability to track me from across a Starsystem, have a pirate trap which actually works with a swarm of 20 tier 5 fighters and a Ghrag tier 5 gunboat along with a starfighter comparable to theTIE Advancedin return for them having no Epulse.
Thing is, it is a double edged argument. Freelancers complain that they'd be losing a skill, but the thing is, the Rebels or Imperials don't have a skill which works destructively in PVP (ok Imps have nebula blast but it isn't that great and noone uses it) and in pve, I think epulse isn't all that effective so I just don't see the 'oh we should get a replacement' argument all that well. Personally, I think Freelancers should get a smaller, nippier starfighter which wasn't a rotw quest reward so more of them could compete better in pvp rather than 'having' to fly a huge powerful tank ship like the Krayt.
I would propose a sensor scrabler of some kind that works in PvP perhaps a pulse that blinds the targeting computer(no lead indicator, no radar) for a fixed amount of timeat the cost of draining your cap.
