A '''Crowbar''' is a quick-response [[Electronic Countermeasures|ECM]] ("jamming") ship designed to be used in case of an emergency to "pry" a more valuable ship out of a sticky situation. It is a specific fitting of the Tech I Caldari frigate, the [[Griffin]]. The fit is designed to be newbro-friendly (low skill requirements) and cheap (easy to afford and essentially disposable).

A doctrine-fitted Crowbar costs approximately 1.5M ISK. If you can afford to have your own, they are usually available on corporate contract in the various campus home stations. It's a good idea to have one (or more) available in each campus you frequent.
In emergencies, if you need one, they may also be borrowed from the [[EVE University Corporate Hangars|community hangars]]. (If you don't have the required title to access a specific hangar, ask someone else in the community for assistance.) If you lose your Crowbar in a QRF action, it should be eligible for reimbursement through the [[Ship Replacement Program]].

== When and how to call for Crowbars ==
== When and how to call for Crowbars ==


<b>Before calling for Crowbars a pilot should assess the questions below:</b>
'''Before calling for Crowbars a pilot should assess the questions below:'''
 
* Is my ship worth saving?
*Is my ship worth saving?
** We will probably not bring out Crowbars for your 5M ISK Slasher
**We will probably not bring out Crowbars for your 5M ISK Slasher
* Am I within reasonable distance of home?
*Am I within reasonable distance of home?
** Crowbars are probably not going to fly 20 jumps out, and if they do, chances are you're already killed by reinforcements
**Crowbars are probably not going to fly 20 jumps out, and if they do, chances are you're already killed by reinforcements
* Will my tank hold out long enough for the crowbar pilot(s) to reach me?
*Will my tank hold out long enough for the crowbar pilot(s) to reach me?
** If you are going to get blapped in the next 20 seconds, calling for Crowbars is pointless
**If you are going to get blapped in the next 20 seconds, calling for Crowbars is useless
 
If the answer to <b>all</b> of these questions are "Yes," then a pilot can consider calling for Crowbars.
 
 
<b>After a pilot determines that calling for crowbars is justified he should relay at least following information:</b>
 
*The system you are currently in
**If a more precise location, for example: an anomaly or asteroid belt can be specified, please do
*How many attackers you are facing
*What ships they are flying
** If possible, directly specify what kind of ECM (Ladar,Radar,Magnetometric,Gravimetric) the crowbars should fit
*If you can tank the damage, or are slowly bleeding EHP


If the answer to '''all''' of these questions are "Yes," then a pilot can consider calling for Crowbars.


'''After a pilot determines that calling for crowbars is justified they should relay at least following information:'''
* The location, as precisely as possible, including the system, as well as the gate, anomaly, or asteroid belt, for example.
* Their character name: this helps fleet members warp to help immediately. It is best to refer to your character in the third person: not everyone will know you by your voice.
* How many attackers you are facing.
* What ships they are flying and, If possible, what kind of ECM (Ladar /red, Radar/yellow, Magnetometric/green, Gravimetric/blue) the crowbars should fit.
* If you can tank the damage, or are slowly bleeding EHP.


 
{{example|* "HELP! [insert your character name] is tackled in T22, anomaly BFG, by a Malediction (yellow jammers) and Crow (blue jammers). Tank is holding for now, but I could use some crowbars, please respond!"
<u>Correct examples:</u><br>
* "Guys, BRING CROWBARS! [insert your character name] is in ZNO on the 5-D gate, bubbled and scrammed by a lone Sabre (red ECM). I'm slowly bleeding EHP and can't apply my damage!"}}
*HELP! I'm tackled in T22, anomaly BFG, by a malediction (amarr) + crow (caldari). Tank is holding for now, but I can use some crowbars, please respond!
*Guys, BRING CROWBARS! I'm in ZNO on the 5-D gate, bubbled and scrammed by a lonely sabre (Ladar ECM). I'm slowly bleeding EHP and can't apply my damage!
 
<u>How not to do it:</u><br>
*HELP, they are scramming me in X-P, bring lots of crowbars!<br>
*IM SCRAMMED, HELP ME! COMMON GUYS? I NEED HELP! HELP ME! I hate this game...

=== Jammers ===
=== Jammers ===
Your jammers should be put on the tackling ship(s). Make sure you use the appropriate jammer type on each ship if more ships are present.


=== Rockets ===
=== Rockets ===
Your rockets are close range weapons, mostly aimed at clearing hostile drones that are targeting you.


=== ECM drone ===
=== ECM drone ===
If the attacker is inside your drone control range, the ECM drone can be used as an extra chance to get a jam off.
<br>
If the attacker is outside your drone control range, put the ECM drone on any hostile drones that might be attacking you.
