This sounds fun. Especially the data spike missiles! I'm glad to see they're going into more depth than "EM means they can't see you!". Hell, it's got me excited enough that I'm going to grab a Vanguard Sentinel!

Oh boy. That means that I am going to get extra tricksy with my Herald. Low sig setup to hide, then just take over the enemy vessel as soon as they're in range.

This is getting complicated.

EW to some degree, sure, but the full extent of CIG's idea is... well.. very enthusiastic, even for my tastes (that is saying something). Like, "Oh 'I' think I have an idea of who spent all night up late snorting crank & gunpowder, doing espresso jello shots off the Marketing VP's stomach..."

Totally reminds me of this episode. FF to 5:41

150 years from now, people are going to look back at this flavor of EW as quaintly as we look back at Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) as we condescending chuckle, "Silly Rabbit! THAT'S not how Electronic Warfare works!"

Well, no, I don't expect this to be at all realistic to what we might expect out of future EWAR... but it looks entertaining, and that's ultimately what is most important I think.

Some tongue in cheek humor in my post, but you have a good point.
Really, the root of my concern is that I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep up with the game.
