Skills:Electronics
From UniWiki
Overview
The Electronics category is a rather mixed bag of skills. Some of the skills here, such as the racial electronic warfare skills, are specialised skills which are only useful for a limited selection of pilots.
On the other hand, this category also contains a number of essential targeting skills which help pilots lock onto more targets, faster, and at longer ranges.
Electronics, the basic skill of the category which bears its name, is an essential fitting skill, and Propulsion Jamming, which lets you operate tackling modules, is in a sense the cornerstone of PvP -- you can't kill someone if you can't stop them from warping away.
Intelligence and memory are needed to become good at this.
The following are the skills in the Electronics section (in alphabetical order):
- Cloaking - Allows use of cloaking devices. Reduction of decloak targeting delay penalty.
- Cynosural Field Theory - Allows use of Cynosural Field Generators. Reduces fuel use for Cynosural Field generation.
- Electronic Warfare - Allows use of ECM jammers. Reduces ECM module capacitor use.
- Electronics - Bonus to ship CPU.
- Electronics Upgrades - Allows fitting of electronics upgrades modules. Reduced Electronic Upgrade Module CPU use.
- Frequency Modulation - Bonus to EWAR module falloff.
- Long Distance Jamming - Bonus to EWAR module optimal.
- Long Range Targeting - Bonus to targeting range.
- Multitasking - 2nd tier - Bonus to max number of targets.
- Projected Electronic Counter Measures - Bonus to Projected ECM Cycle time.
- Propulsion Jamming - Allows use of stasis webifier, warp scrambler/disruptor. Reduces Propulsion Jamming module capacitor use.
- Sensor Linking - Allows use of Sensor Boosters/Sensor Dampeners. Reduces capacitor use for these modules.
- Signal Dispersion - Bonus to ECM Jammer strength.
- Signal Suppression - Bonus to Sensor Dampener effectiveness.
- Signature Analysis - Bonus to Scan Resolution.
- Signature Focusing - Bonus to effectiveness of Target Painters.
- Survey - Allows use of cargo, ship, and survey scanners. Bonus to scan speed of these modules.
- Target Painting - Allows use of Target Painters. Reduces capacitor use of Target Painters.
- Targeting - Increases max number of targets.
- Turret Destabilization - Bonus to effectiveness of Tracking Disruptors.

3.15M ISK ISK |
 Prerequisites:
|
Electronics IV |
| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction cloaking devices |
| III required for:
|
T2 cloaking devices (except Covert ops cloaking device II) |
| IV required for:
|
Covert ops cloaking device II; Black Ops |
| V required for:
|
CONCORD modified cloaking device |
 Notes:
|
Level I allows you to fit a prototype cloak which will let you remain hidden and unprobable in a safespot for as long as you like. Level IV lets you use the covops cloaking devices which will let you warp while cloaked, but can only be used on a limited range of stealth ships. Unless you're training for one of those stealth ships, or planning some kind of wacky ambush tactic, you can probably get away with just training Cloaking to I to access prototype cloaks, and then ignoring it. |
Cynosural Field Theory

| Price:
|
450,000 ISK ISK |
| Prerequisites:
|
Targeting V; Electronics I |
| Notes:
|
Targeting V is a prerequisite, and should give most people enough targets (remember that targeting skills can't increase your maximum locked targets beyond the hard limit of your ship hull), so many pilots can get away without training Multitasking. It is however, useful for advanced ewar pilots (the Rook, for example, can lock 10 targets if you have Targeting and Multitasking at V) and logistics pilots. |

T1 automated targeting systems |
| II required for:
|
Passive Targeter II |
| IV required for:
|
Auto Targeting System II |
| V required for:
|
Multitasking |
| Notes:
|
Important combat support skill. Train it to at least IV (which allows up to 6 targets, unless the ship is not capable of that number). The number of targets that you can lock in a particular ship is the lesser of either (2 + Targeting skill + Multitasking skill) or the ship's limitation (which can be increased with modules like Auto Targeting System or Signal Amplifier). No pilot can lock more then 12 targets (due to the skill limits) and they will have to train both Targeting V and Multitasking V to do so. |
Turret Destabilization

T1 and Faction tracking distruptors |
| III required for:
|
Tracking disruptor drones |
| IV required for:
|
Tracking Disruptor II; Turret Destabilization |
| Notes:
|
Tracking disruption is the Amarr form of ewar, and some of their ships have bonuses for it. It can also be useful even when used without hull bonuses, however, particularly for speed tanking or kiting fits, so PvP pilots may want to put some SP into it even if they don't fly Amarr. |
