==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Griffin is an Electronic Counter Measure frigate, often seen in E-UNI fleets offering Electronic Warfare support. ECM is touted as the most useful form of Electronic Warfare as it operates by breaking enemy target locks and preventing them from re-acquiring targets for 20 seconds. This has the potential to greatly reduce the amount of damage being directed at your fleet, prevent enemies from using Remote Repair modules on each other or to break Warp Disruption, allowing an escape. For new players interested in trying out ECM the Griffin is the ideal starting place on your way up to the {{ship|Blackbird}} and eventually the {{ship|Scorpion}}. Expect to lose them a lot though, as ECM ships are often called primary by enemy commanders. Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hangar at the Uni home station in Aldrat.
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.
 
It has 5 mid slots allowing a rainbow fit of one of each racial jammer and a propulsion module. It has 2 low slots that usually have a Signal Distortion Amplifier and a Damage Control module.
 
==Skills==
 
These skills will improve your EWAR effectiveness when flying a Griffin.


*[[Skills:Spaceship_Command#Caldari_Frigate|Caldari Frigate]] - Skills for the specific types of ship you are flying will give you the greatest improvement in ECM effectiveness: 15% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per level and +12.5% bonus to ECM Target Jammer optimal range and falloff per level. Requires Spaceship Command I.
== Skills ==
These skills will improve your EWAR effectiveness when flying a Griffin Navy Issue.


*[[Skills:Targeting#Long_Range_Targeting|Long Range Targeting]] - 5% Bonus to targeting range per skill level. Requires CPU Management Level 2.
* {{Sk|Caldari Frigate}} - Affects both ECM effectiveness and hybrid turret damage.
* {{Sk|Long Range Targeting}} - 5% Bonus to targeting range per skill level. Requires CPU Management Level 2.


*[[Skills:Electronic_Systems#Frequency_Modulation|Frequency Modulation]] - Increases the falloff distance of your ECM modules by 10% per level. Requires CPU Management Level 3 and Electronics Warfare Level 2.  
See the [[Electronic warfare]] and [[Electronic Countermeasures]] articles for more information.


*[[Skills:Electronic_Systems#Long_Distance_Jamming|Long Distance Jamming]] - Increases the optimal range of your ECM modules by 10% per level. Requires CPU Management Level 4 and Electronics Warfare Level 3.
== Tactics ==
'''PvE'''


*[[Skills:Rigging#Electronic_Superiority_Rigging|Electronic Superiority Rigging]] - This will reduce the shield penalty incurred by your ECM rigs. Requires Jury Rigging Level 3 and Mechanics Level 3.  
ECM is useless in basic PvE, and advanced forms of PvE tend to require tougher tanks than the Griffin Navy Issue can mount.


*[[Skills:Electronic_Systems#Signal_Dispersion|Signal Dispersion]] - Increases your jam strength by 5% per level. This skill requires CPU Management 5 and Electronic Warfare Level 4. If you have decided that you really enjoy being an EWAR pilot this is a great skill to work towards, but it certainly isn't required to have fun flying ECM in fleets.
'''PvP'''


See the [[EWAR Guide]] and [[ECM Guide]] articles for more information.
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.


==Fitting==
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.

==Tactics==
== Notes ==
PvE - Not recommended as the Griffin has very little offensive capability.<br>
''You can write additional notes for Griffin Navy Issue here.''
PvP - Solo
* Practise at the Libold frigate arena [[Frig FFA]], which is only 2 jumps from Aldrat. See how long you can last against other frigates! Use your long range to your advantage,target your opponent, colour match your jammer and activate as soon as they are in range. The non-matching jammers have a lower chance of achieving a jam but fire them off one a time until you get a jam or are vaporised. See how much more effective the right racial jammer module is against your opponent. Once engaged, practise aligning to a celestial so that you can warp out if your jam fails.
* Griffins are available fully fitted for free from the Alpha hangar at the Uni home station, PTS, Aldrat.
PvP - Fleet
* You have the advantage of speed and being a small target so align to a celestial when an engagement starts, lock targets within your optimal range and colour match your jammers to the targets as best you can. Warp as soon as you are yellow-boxed (someone starts locking you) and drop a bookmark on the way out so that you have a location to warp back to or warp back to your designated squad anchor.
