Sorry, but I totally disagree to give any Jenner a GECM.

But Jenners should get the BAP option. (... which IMO should be limited as well.)

[Vechs]

Yeah, when I saw that Jenners would get the ECM, I was like "Wait... what?!"

The Jenner is such a good light mech, it really doesn't need the ECM -- they should give ECM to one commando variant, and then all the Ravens, because the Ravens really need some help.

But even if they do give Jenners an ECM, why the D? Why not the K?

That really makes no sense.

I feel like the Jener 7K should get the ability to mount ECM instead of the Jenner 7D for three reasons:

• The 7K supposedly the most advanced model of the Jenners
  
• The 7K is a Jenner Model that is used specifically by Scout PIlots who are specializing in the Jenner Line, partly because of...
  
• The 7D is already in extremely high circulation due to the Founders Program, which means everybody and their brother will be running ECM on these common Mechs.

I feel like moving the ECM over to the K model will alleviate what could possibly become referred to as ECMWariror: Online.



This is just my personal opinion.

I agree.

Does the ECM field give you cancer? Otherwise I can't see how an item that can't kill anyone would dominate the game. Surely you have other mechs than streak kitty and lrm boat?

It gives your LRM and Streak Boats a degenerative neuronal disease.

As perplexing as the D-DC and the Jen D get (Hmm Commando 2D also gets ECM, I wonder what the D stands for now?) ECM and not say the Atlas K or the Jenner K (,,,, letter bias!) One of the Stalkers better have ECM!

[Brandeis]

I personally vote that any mech with a free slot should be allowed to equip an ECM. There weren't any rules prohibiting it's use in the tabletop. *shrug*

[HlynkaCG]

I agree with the OP, and would like to point out to those questioning the choice of Atlas D-DC that cannonically the DC is supposed to be a COMMAND MECH and as such giving it additional electronic warfare capabilities makes perfect sense.

[Scarlett Avignon]

I feel like the Jenner shouldn't get it at all. Makes the Raven redundant.

This. If anything, I would have expected them to allow it on the JNR-7F, because that one has no missile hardpoint, unlike the Raven.

[wanderer]

I actually agree here. Put the ECM/electronics pod option in the CT and restrict it to the advanced-tech -K version ONLY.

This means -K pilots have to make a choice. Mount the CT missile system or mount BAP/ECM, since if they choose ECM it'll take up two critical spaces in the CT and leave no room for a missile launcher. Meanwhile, Raven pilots won't have to trade between weapon system or ECM pod, leaving them well-off in the electronics department.

Leave it off the -D, which is already the most popular light in the game, and the -F, which already has it's spot as an incredibly good energy boat- as both are 3025-era designs that wouldn't have dedicated EW space for this sorta thing built into them from the start.

I typically run a PPC-laden, Slow Medium.

The 3-PPC Hunchback-4P... or 4PPCs, depending on how cheeky I'm feeling at the time.

Edit - I actually have the builds posted over at Mech Specs

ECM wont be on jenner. Check dev posts. x

[Cataphract]

I agree that if any Jenner gets ECM only the K model deserves it. After mastering the Jenner line I sold the F and K since compared to my founders Jenner they lack in all the places that makes the D better. I'm glad the devs retracted the idea of giving ECM to the Jenner D. Giving the K ECM means people will be more willing to use the that variant. IT also has 4 module slots when mastered which could be a big bonus too further down the road.

The Jenner-K is worthless, at least with ECM there would be a reason to choose it over the other variants rather than just making it mandatory for XP farming reasons.

The 7k Actually has utility.

It has 3 built in module slots, rather than the normal 2.

Folks just don't notice this, because the current modules are all pretty much terrible wastes of money.

It'll be my go-to Jenner when the going gets going.

But you'll probably see me in one of the 'whatever chassis I'm learning' chassis I'm in of the moment. Right now it's the (f)Atlas.

I've finished Jenners, Catapults, Hunchbacks, Commandos, Centurions... I'm not liking Atlas.

I'm running a 7D and don't see the choice for ecm?

ECM can be mounted on the 3-Missile Commando, the 1-Ballistic Cicada, and the Raven-3L, as well as the Atlas D-DC.

Thank god Jenner didn't get ECM... it was struck down by the community. I don't know why they even thought about giving it to that...thing.

[pjnt]

Give either the D or F the ECM and all other lights become redundant. Even now I think in time they will over take the Raven. Caution in expanding the ECM. Leave it for now or give it to all.
