Introduction

Welcome to this Electronic Warfare 102 class!

This course is designed primarily for people who:

• Have completed Ewar 101
• Wish to become an ewar pilot
• Have brought an ewar frigate or cruiser

Over the 60 minutes or so, we shall cover......

(Instructor should then introduce himself or herself - covering relevant experience level and background.)

We have a few ground rules for this class:

• Please put your Mumble settings on "Push to Talk" if you have not already done so.
• Feel free to type any questions in the Class.E-UNI chat channel as we proceed - I will try to answer your questions as they come during the class. [At the end of my lecture, we'll open Mumble for any further questions or general discussion.]
• You should be [docked up safely in a station [in Aldrat if you intend to participate in the practical exercise], or located....]

Everyone ready? OK, then - let's begin....

EWAR 101 Refresher

• Tracking Disruption (Amarr, affects turrets)
• Remote Sensor Dampening (Gallente, ships)
• Target Painting (Minmatar, ships)
• Electronic Counter Measures (Caldari, ships)

Ewar Skills

• Electronics
• Two skills for your type of ewar:
  • TD: weapon disruption, turrent destablization
  • RSD: sensor linking, signal suppression
  • TP: target painting, signature focusing
  • ECM: electronic warfare, signal dispersion
• Ewar generic skills:
  • long distance jamming, frequency modulation (electronic warfare)
• Ship skills
  • frigate, cruiser, electronic attack ships
• Targeting skills:
  • targeting, signature analysis, long range targeting

Ewar Equipment

• Modules
  • meta 1 usually bit more effective and easier to fit (sometimes cheaper)
  • meta 2 and meta 3 even more so, but gradually more expensive
  • meta 4 the best, good as T2 (sometimes better), easier to fit ( expensive)
  • meta 5 is T2, hard to fit and needs high skills, but cheaper than meta 4
• Rigs
• Drones
  • Especially ECM drones, even if you’re not Caldari

Ship fitting strategies

• Primary considerations (ewar, sometimes not even leave room for anything else)
• Modules to help you be better - sebo, distortion amps, mwd
• Keeping your ship alive (agility, defenses)
• Secondary considerations (damage, tackle)
• Ship fitting examples
• (Allow people to post fits, and we can talk)

Counter Ewar

• Counter-Ewar Modules
  • TD: Tracking Enhancers, Tracking Computers, Tracking Links
  • RSD: Signal Amplifiers, Sensor Boosters, Remoter Sensor Boosters, Target Painters
  • TP: Afterburners, MicroWarpdrives, Inertia Stabilizers
  • ECM: Sensor Backup Arrays, Electronic Counter Counter Measures (ECCM), Projected ECCM

Being Ewar

• Three Partying Rules of Ewar
  • Arrive fashionably late
  • Hang back from the main crowd
  • Bail when it’s no longer fun
• A few final thoughts:
  • TD: Use it on solo PvP
  • RSD: Stacking penalties matter. Either split targets, or split scripts; Carry both scripts
  • TP: Minmatar ewar ships are dual-bonused, making them interesting ships to fly
  • ECM: Activate them one at a time, not all at once; Carry 2 minmatar, and no multispec

Class Wrap-up

• Thanks for attending this class!
  • I would appreciate any feedback from people on how to improve the class
• Questions ?

[* Practical exercise]

• • Free-for-all
  • TD to demonstrate flying within guns
  • RSD to demonstrate lock times
  • TP to demonstrate lock times
  • ECM to jam
