ECM is effectively Jamming. The successful use of an ECM module or Drone on an enemy Target will break any active Targeting lock that ship has on any other ship. It will also disrupt the targeting systems of the enemy ship '''after''' the lock has been broken, making it impossible for '''THAT''' ship to re-target any other ship for a period of 20 seconds. ECM, however '''DOES NOT''' prevent the use of weapons and systems that do not require a target lock to function, such as Smart Bombs or unguided missiles. | ECM is effectively Jamming.
