A Solution to LRF SPAM

Well, first...

Well first you take the LRF's and grind them up with other random assorted meats.  Then you put it in blue can with big yellow letters.  Say it's low sodium and cures cancer and you'll be set for life.

Please Devs give us a tech research option for our support cruisers that jams missile weapons so that they miss for a long time.

Or just give us Invincible Space Ponies that shoot lasers from their butts.  Tha'd be awesome.

Electronic warfare or ECM frigates are a good idea for a counter frigate

Although that wouldn't really do anything against the advent LRF

It would, since the difference between long range missiles and the Advent laser is mostly cosmetic anyway, simply have a frigate that says it disrupts guidance systems on missiles and dissipates long range beams. Hence some missiles would be shown to miss, and the laser could be shown to be weaker.

Similar to how they have the repair cloud or the Vasari's explosive nanites, why not have the ability to throw up cloud of flares and chaff or refractive particles that throw off the guidance system of missiles or dissipate the effectiveness of beam weapons.

Oh please DEVs. Don't nerf the LRF's. Just provide me a way to manage their systematic termination.

that would be a good idea to counter the LRF projectiles and beams. It makes them utterly useless for period of time. However, idk if there would be new ships anytime soon. Maybe, but idk. Could work as an ability for heavy cruisers.
I was thinking of just making the LRFs more expensive and demand more supply so there would be less of them to deal with. The price and supply for these ships are way too low.

Just make it an ability for flak/defense frigates, that way they can be a little more useful.

I agree with rayadrel's idea. Oh please great DEVs on high. Provide us with this ability for our flak/defense frigates so that we may bring down the dreaded LRF spam. May the LRF still remain useful, but a potential counter provided to your loyal Sinners.

I'd like Spam to once again be associated with wonderful blue canned luncheon meat and viagra advertisements in my email. Not LRFs.

Amen.
