Your chance to jam a target is based on this equation:

<math> \displaystyle\text{Chance to jam} = \frac{ \text{ECM strength} }{ \text{Sensor strength} } </math>

:<math> \displaystyle\text{Chance to jam} = \frac{ \text{ECM strength} }{ \text{Sensor strength} } </math>

And if you use multiple jammers of same strength:

<math> \displaystyle\text{Chance to jam} = 1 - \left( 1 - \frac{ \text{ECM strength} }{ \text{Sensor strength} } \right)^{\text{Number of jammers}}</math>

:<math> \displaystyle\text{Chance to jam} = 1 - \left( 1 - \frac{ \text{ECM strength} }{ \text{Sensor strength} } \right)^{\text{Number of jammers}}</math>

Note that when calculating the chance to jam a single target using a rainbow fit, the above formula must be modified, considering that a rainbow fit will have different jam strengths per racial jammer.

Line 26:

The ECM module follows same formula for range as all other modules that have a falloff mechanic:

<math> \text{Jam strength} = \text{Base} \times 0.5^{\Large \left( \frac{\max(0,\ \text{Distance} - \text{Optimal})}{\text{Falloff}} \right)^2 } </math>

:<math> \text{Jam strength} = \text{Base} \times 0.5^{\Large \left( \frac{\max(0,\ \text{Distance} - \text{Optimal})}{\text{Falloff}} \right)^2 } </math>

Going slightly beyond your optimal is not a problem but the effectiveness of ECM will degrade more rapidly as you go further away as seen in the table below.
