I tried the burned-end eggrolls last night. Meeeh. They're ok, but my date and I agreed that they tasted a bit under-seasoned. There are a million better things to eat in Ottawa, which is actually a pretty good food city.

Unwind my riddle.
Need some recommendations for one of my alts. I enjoy non-DPS roles in fleet, since I hate waiting and fleets always tend to be waiting on some non-DPS position (logi, scouts, etc). My carrier alt is skilling towards logi and I've been flying repping frigates/carriers lately, which is a lot of fun.

I'm unsure what to do with my original pvp alt though. It's a relatively standard ADHD 12m caldari pvp alt, missile + shield + smattering of other garbage. I don't really feel compelled to skill into a tengu, and I'm looking to fly something other than harpy/hawk/caracal.

Are probing covops useful to small gangs? Or would an interceptor (Crow) be more useful? Dictors are always useful, is the Flycatcher non-poo poo these days?

Flycatcher is good. Train flycatcher. Or start training turrets and expand beyond Caldari.

Cool, I'll start working on Flycatcher, shouldn't be too long to get into one.

Semi-related, I've heard that ECM is continually getting worse (and the doesn't affect drones, which appears to be big these days). Does it still have a place for small gang, or is it just totally useless? When I last played, I was almost done skill-ing towards a Rook, but it looks like that's not useful now?

ECM is very useful in small gangs, the Rook was recently buffed, and ECM does work on drones.

It is especially funny to jam out a Gila/Worm's drones. Most of them don't even realize it.

Ohh, do you target the drones and ECM them directly? Or does jamming the ship also break the drone's lock?

One of the counters to an ECM ship is drones. They have separate locks from the player's ship.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Imp is basically a nullified Succubus. It could be fun, but I wouldn't count on it. Very few people are crazy enough to take an AT ship into scram range, unless it's got a cloak (i.e. a Chremoas).

Fiend is crap, crap, crap, megacrap. At most, you can do some loving hilarious gimmick poo poo with it. i.e. "I can fit a 100MN AB and zip around at 4km/sec with almost no sig radius, with my bubble up... until I get neuted, stop moving, and get popped because you still can't remote rep me."

If I dropped 5 EC-300 drones on a Rattlesnakes single gecko, would that effectively take it out of the equation?

it'd hit them but not cause them to return to their launching ship, they'd just retarget basically instantly
