[[File:Icon target painter i.png|left]]Target painting increases the signature radius of a target, making it easier for tracking turrets and missiles to hit. Target painting is especially effective against small, speedy targets that would otherwise evade turret tracking and missile and bomb explosion velocities. Target painting improves '''everyone's''' chance of hitting the targeted foe, not just the painting pilot, and so a single target painting ship can be a great complement to a fleet of damage dealers. All of this makes target painting unique, relative to the other three types of EWAR, in that it helps your friends rather than hindering your foes.

'''UPDATE:''' While the above statement reflects conventional wisdom, extensive research undertaken by the ''NASTY BOYZ'' has shown that the target painter module flings an actual bucket of paint through space at supersonic speed, painting a nice, big bullseye on the target on impact.
