see I personally think PvP is hurt enough by Ep3 now this will destroy it cause opposing POB's won't stand a chance
Space PvP has always (in my experience) had a very fragile balance held by the players. Things like EP3, missiles, near-unhittable ships, etc, can cause huge problems. At least on Bloodfin, the vast majority of regular space PvPers are very good about avoiding over use of the tiny ROTW ships, excessive use of missiles, or using EP3 at all. Unlike on the ground, where exploits and temploits are rampant, most of the space PvPers seem to understand what's most fun for everyone involved, and don't use the unbalanced, overpowered ships and tricks for easy ganking.
Unfortunately, that's probably not the case everywhere. If this gets to be a problem, I can see the devs completely disabling EP 1-3 from PvP use. It might be the best way to go anyway.

personally I'd be happy with it ONLY doing sheild damage
