    jamx should disable locks rather than abilities and that would suit its purpose as recon ship better.
     
  2. You have emp to break locks.

    but that doesn't cause jamx to make sense
     
  4. this is DO, it's not supposed to make sense. :)
     
  5. JAMX does make sense if you read it. it disables enemy ship functions such as skill design ships special ability. aegis' healing, citadel's draw fire, fortification/travel.
    it also disables EMP and Instant Shield usage though I'm not 100% sure if it should be able to do that or not << I know it does this because I've used it on people and had it used on me. As an Aegis user, I rely upon repping myself and teammates to take on twice our numbers along with a Citadel to tank up the damage and spears to target mark using Ulti cloak and recon to spot the enemies. The Spearhead is made this way as a tactical ship; not to take hits but to relay information back to the heavy hitting members and the big tanks of the group.

    so shouldn't spearhead jamx disable locks rather than abilities?

    When your being chased by a pusat jmax can safe your neck, Its the way you use it that counts. Wisdom should be used and not just the knowledge that you have jmax. So no to to taking out locks it fine the way it is.

  8. No, JAMX is fine the way it is. Instant Shields block incoming Damage for the Spearhead, EMPs lose locks of people targeting you, JAMX disables enemy ship abilities and prevents them using most specials. Cloaks are handy after an EMP for a quick getaway. spearheads are hit and run ships that have an added ability that allows your group to deal more damage and see where they go even after you EMP the user, much like icy rockets and SAR rockets will also show you when the user EMP and cloak (although the new changes to Icy rockets prevents this as EMP cancels out icy now)
