 To examine the effectiveness of drones in this role, examine the following quoted from [[ECM_Guide#How_does_ECM_work.3F|How does ECM work]]:
-"And if you use multiple jammers:
-Chance to Jam = (1 -(1 - Your ECM Strength / Target's Sensor Strength ) ^ The number of jammers of this strength)*100%"
+: &nbsp; "And if you use multiple jammers:
+: &nbsp; Chance to Jam = (1 -(1 - Your ECM Strength / Target's Sensor Strength ) ^ The number of jammers of this strength)*100%"
 The Vespa EC-600 drone has a strength of 1.5. The [[Guardian]] has a RADAR sensro strength of 19. If we apply three Vespa EC-600 drones to a Guardian, the chance to break its locks (as a percentage) is:
-(1 - (1 - (1.5/19)) ^ 3) * 100
+: &nbsp; (1 - (1 - (1.5/19)) ^ 3) * 100
-(1 - (1 - (0.07)) ^ 3) * 100
+: &nbsp; (1 - (1 - (0.07)) ^ 3) * 100
-(1 - (0.93) ^ 3) * 100
+: &nbsp; (1 - (0.93) ^ 3) * 100
-(1 - 0.8) * 100
+: &nbsp; (1 - 0.8) * 100
-or about 20%.
-This is not going to render the Guardian useless, but it will make it less effective.

 === Logi for Tackle ===
-As shown in [[Drones#Logistics_drones|Logistics Drones]], a full flight of five medium logistics drones can repair 120 DPS. This won't keep a tackle ship alive forever, but when tacking down a single ship at T1 cruiser size or below, this can extend the tackle's life by 20% or more (assuming the DPS ship produces 600 DPS or less). For example, a Tristan can be armor fit to provide 5K EHP. Against a Thorax or Vexor with up to 600DPS, the Tristan may survive 10 seconds. Extending that time to 12 seconds with armor logi drones may just provide the additional lock time a larger, more capable ship needs to become effective on the field. If these drones are applied by dual role ship, it is unlikely that the fleet will be giving up DPS during the time the drones are supporting the tackle ship. To be most effective in the role, the dual role ship will need to have the tackle ship locked and the drones applied before the tackle engages.
