== Summary ==

The Griffin Navy Issue is a Electronic Counter Measure frigate. Compared to the standard Griffin the Griffin Navy Issue has a significant buff to hull, armor and shield points; along with extra powergrid and almost twice the capacitor. The Griffin Navy Issue also has a higher increase in jam strength per level of Caldari frigate and a damage bonus to hybrid turret; which is reflected in swapping one of the launcher high slots for a turret high slot. The -85% role reduction to ECM Jammer activation cost means that jammers actually use less cap than a pilot with lvl 5 Caldari Frigate in the standard frigate.
+
The '''Griffin Navy Issue''' ("'''GNI'''") is an expensive "faction" version of the Griffin, souped up and retuned to operate differently to its base hull, and indeed different to any other ship in the game. It receives bonuses that benefit ECM ''drones'', together with limitations that encourage fighting at close range.
−
 
 
−
This does come at a cost though with the major negative of the Griffin Navy Issue being its' secondary role bonus of -85% penalty to ECM optimal range and falloff. This means the Griffin Navy Issue can't pull off the standard Griffin tactic of staying at long range while jamming enemy ships. Instead the Griffin Navy Issue is envisioned as a close in brawler utilizing blasters with the jammers used to mitigate enemy ships. The extra capacitor and decrease in jamming costs also gives the ability to fit tackle and propulsion mods while remaining somewhat cap stable (depending on capacitor skills).
 
−
 
 
−
Considering the cost of the Griffin Navy Issue and the complexity of jamming tactics (knowing which ships to jam and when) it is suggested that new players experiment with the standard [[Griffin|Griffin]] until they have built up both their character and game skills before attempting to fly the Griffin Navy Issue.

==Tactics==
+
The Griffin Navy Issue's unique combination of bonuses and limitations means that it can launch powerful ECM drones, but can only use them at relatively close range. This combined with the hybrid turret bonus encourages brawling fits with blasters and ECM drones, though it is also possible to kite at the edge of warp scrambler range with railguns.
−
PvE - Not recommended as the Griffin Navy Issue lacks damage projection and often relies on costly tank (such as burning cap charges for an ancillary shield booster).<br>
 
−
PvP - Solo
 
−
* With the ECM changes from the October 2018 Update, using ECM no longer stops a jammed target from targeting you, which strongly limits the usefulness of ECM on this ship for solo PvP.
 
−
* Against larger ships, i.e. cruiser size plus, you'll need to get in under the guns and orbit to maintain a good transversal. To get close either set the range by waiting at a 'zero' point eg. the beacon of faction war plexs or spiral in on your enemy rather than flying directly at them.
 
−
* Against smaller ships, i.e. frigate and destroyer size, you still need to maintain close range in order to effectively project your blaster damage. Avoid ships that can readily control range against you (e.g. scram/web AB kiters, MWD kiters that are already inside a plex, etc.) in favor of ships that lack range control (lone Punishers, MWD brawlers).
 
−
PvP - Small Gang
 
−
* If fighting multiple enemies consider jamming non-engaged targets rather than the one you are currently damaging; especially if they are repping your target or applying higher damage to you due to your lower transverse compared to them.
 
−
PvP - Fleet - Not recommended as the Griffin Navy Issue still has a fairly weak tank when primaried in fleet combat, and no ability to project jams or damage from range.  
 
  
−
More information on tactics and matching jammers to targets is in the [[ECM Guide]].
+
Hornet EC-300s have a 5.5-7.5s jam duration (based on Caldari Frigate level), but with a 20s cycle duration. This limited uptime can be compensated for by repeatedly launching, engaging, and then returning the EC-300s. This process lets the drones attempt to jam more than the 20s cycle would otherwise.

Summary

The Griffin Navy Issue ("GNI") is an expensive "faction" version of the Griffin, souped up and retuned to operate differently to its base hull, and indeed different to any other ship in the game. It receives bonuses that benefit ECM drones, together with limitations that encourage fighting at close range.

Skills

These skills will improve your EWAR effectiveness when flying a Griffin Navy Issue.

  • Caldari Frigate - Affects both ECM effectiveness and hybrid turret damage.
  • Long Range Targeting - 5% Bonus to targeting range per skill level. Requires CPU Management Level 2.

See the Electronic warfare and Electronic Countermeasures articles for more information.

Tactics

PvE

ECM is useless in basic PvE, and advanced forms of PvE tend to require tougher tanks than the Griffin Navy Issue can mount.

PvP

The Griffin Navy Issue's unique combination of bonuses and limitations means that it can launch powerful ECM drones, but can only use them at relatively close range. This combined with the hybrid turret bonus encourages brawling fits with blasters and ECM drones, though it is also possible to kite at the edge of warp scrambler range with railguns.

Hornet EC-300s have a 5.5-7.5s jam duration (based on Caldari Frigate level), but with a 20s cycle duration. This limited uptime can be compensated for by repeatedly launching, engaging, and then returning the EC-300s. This process lets the drones attempt to jam more than the 20s cycle would otherwise.
