[EVE] An Introduction to EWAR - 1. ECM Jamming

[UPDATE: As of October 2018, entities (both NPCs and players) can still targetlock any entity jamming them. If you are the ECM pilot, then while you have a successful jam going on an enemy, that enemy can targetlock only you and not anyone else. If you and 2 fleetmates are jamming the same enemy, then that enemy can targetlock all three of you, but not anyone else.]
An explanation to new players about how ECM jamming works.

Great guide with the two-screen comparison! Thanks.

Always felt it was a dramatic missed opportunity to bother asserting 4 different sensor types, yet they DON'T work differently.

Great info on ECM jamming however bit disappointed to know about the changes made in 2018!!! ECM jamming doesn't exactly do what it says on the tin does it??!!

[@adrianhutchins7493]

Great Tutorial - thanks, dude!

[@not6bucks338]

Excellent video about jamming! So many of my questions were answered. Please do more.

[@Mr-Pap1]

Great guide as always! Love your work :)

[@hundun5604]

Tip: Overheating with thermodynamics increases the jammer strength.
Btw, I was hoping for info on the influence of the 3 safety settings (red, yellow, green), if/how it relates to ecm - jammers.

[@SeamusDonohueEVEOnline]

I haven't been playing regularly since 2018, so my knowledge might be out-of-date. However, when last I checked, activating any form of hostile EWAR (ECM jamming, target painting, et cetera) should behave identically to firing a turret or missile (as far as the safety settings are concerned).

Well done, will be looking into more of your videos in the future. THANKS!

Burst Jammer 2 hit's all ships in range at the same time right? with no target locking needed right?? I want to use Burst Jammer 2, cause it's the most powerful ecm jammer right?, on a max tank Hulk MOON mining with a fleet. my range with it is 18 KM. Question : If it hits rocks will it trigger Concord on me? What about wrecks and other player's mining Drones ? I know if it hits fleet mate's ships it will trigger Concord on me. I already know to let the gankers all hit me at least once before I use or I will get Concorded. What about my drones? Thanks.

[@SeamusDonohueEVEOnline]

Off the top of my head, I don't know if Burst Jamming asteroids will trigger a CONCORD response. You can try testing this on the Singularity Test Server.
With other player's mining drones in High Security space, it depends. If those other players are in the same corporation as you AND your corporation allows Friendly Fire, then Burst Jamming your corpmates and/or their drones is fine. If those players are NOT in your corporation OR your corporation does NOT allow Friendly Fire, then Burst Jamming will trigger a CONCORD response.
CONCORD doesn't care if you're in a fleet with whoever you're attacking, CONCORD only cares if you're in the same corporation as them (with Friendly Fire allowed by the CEO) or if you're formally at war with whoever you're attacking.
Your drones are your property. Attacking your own drones will never trigger a CONCORD response.

Which one to use on Faction ships, I.E. Sisters of Eve,Triglavian etc.?
Great video, by the way. Thanks for posting it.

[@SeamusDonohueEVEOnline]

I'm sorry, I didn't notice this question until now. If it's a player ship, then Show Info on the ship type. Amongst the Attributes, you should be able to find the sensor type. For NPCs, I forget the answer; inquire in the in-game chat channel "EVE University".

Wow. A great video indeed. God bless. New friend here.

[@SeamusDonohueEVEOnline]

This video is somewhat old, so there's been one major change to ECM since I uploaded this. As of October 2018, victims of ECM jamming can still targetlock any and all entities that are successfully applying jams on the victim. The victim simply can't targetlcok anyone /else/.

[@dillonp1231]

So cool man!! I can't wait to try this

[@melangkoh4184]

Whats a Burst jammer good for then?

[@RanaRandom]

Provides a *basic* jammer strength (protection???), but *not* as much as regular jammers (AKA *Defensive* Module). Best used in lowsec/nullsec (no module restrictions).

[@SeamusDonohueEVEOnline]

[I approved someone else's "Likely Spam" reply (it wasn't spam, but I did believe it was incorrect) and was going to counter-reply to it, but I'm not sure where that comment went, now. it seems to have disappeared.]
Burst ECMs can be used offensively in fleet versus fleet fights. Certain assistive modules (Remote Armor Repair, Remote Shield Boosters, Remote Capacitor Transmitters, and so on) require targetlocks. So, firing off Burst ECMs in the middle of the enemy fleet can disrupt these assistive effects, allowing your fleet to more easily enemy ships.
To make a World of Warcraft analogy, you're area-of-effect stunning the enemy healers in a big PvP fight.

You can see that this is gaming: 1) Thumbnail 2) Title (EVE) 3) Title again, literally says EWAR
