ok today i reached my limit, flux whoring is lame but that 1 elf beam can be this lame i didnt realize
it drains your energy reserve, k it was meant to do this
it drains ALL you systems, this is just plain lame, you cant fire any weapon while you are being hit and the weapon drains energy while you are being hit, after you have been hit you have to load the weapon back up from your already severly drained energy supply. also in most vessels the jd isnt back online before the elf of the enemy vessel is reloaded causing him to hit you again draining your jd and leaving you incapable to get away(happens VERY often to me).
i was fine with elf while it just drained your energy reserve(it was a pretty strong weapon) but now it just plain crazy, you cant fight back because all your systems are drained and you cant run because you jd keeps being down, its just to much for a single weapon.

Or is it? I think this is secretly part of it.

There is already a 4 page fight over this exact issue... I don't think we need to start another one.

The only defense to the ELF beam, outside of not getting hit with one, is to have shields...
As long as an ICC ship has shields available, the ELF does not affect them. It does wear down UTGO... One of the trade offs for stronger weapons than ICC

Except as the shields recharge, they drain a hella lot of power anyways. Either way, there's a strategy. Just ELF the ICC until he can't breath anymore. Then shoot him. Pffft...
PS. This is a subtle hint to throw another reactor on the assault cruiser. EAD has two, AD has one. Torp cruiser has one, assault cruiser has _. See my point?

Even with two reactors and 4 AME drives with full energy on the EAD....I get sucked down to 30 energy, minus having my weapons uncharged, by the time I can fire again due to my weapons reloading I only have 12 energy, and that doesnt go far when your trying to work the kluth, who have, btw, just elfed you again leaving you with no energy.FI

ELFs are my favorite weapon, and since you have energy stored to fire the weapon, the ELF makes sense to drain that also.

AC's fine. The Flux Wave needs to be restricted to UGTO only however.
