Chaff in CZ: Pointless?

[Deleted member 110222]

Just simply looking to find out the value of chaff in the titular situation.

I find chaff useful in CZ's, even when piloting larger ships. Biggest mitigation to chaff effectiveness, IMO, is range.

I too have noticed chaff being useful in a CG for prolonging staying power. My typical Massacre Mission setup is 2x chaff launchers.

Well....i have made billions in CZs and can tell you chaff is about 87 percent useless.

Tons of NPCs in CZs use fixed. And the ones that dont usually have at least 1 fixed weapon or weapon that ignores chaff.

But....of course......there is always that other 13 percent

I've abandoned chaff on pretty much all of my ships, and I'm on the verge of ditching point defense as well. Those utility slots are better served as mounting points for shield boosters and heat sink launchers.

Chaff wont confuse the railgun ships in a cg. I find that those are everyship, so i do not use chaff, stack up them boosters bruh.
