==Blackbird==
The Blackbird is an excellent ewar cruiser -- in fact, given its ability to stop the enemy fighting, it might be the most dangerous Caldari T1 PvP cruiser. The main focus of any Blackbird fit should be the midslots, followed by the lowslots. You can find a detailed discussion of Blackbird fitting [[ECM_Guide#Fitting_Fleet_Blackbirds|here]].

A 'rainbow' fit of jammers to specifically jam each of the four races is better than a fit with multispectral jammers in almost all situations. It's good to carry spare jammers so you can refit accordingly if you get intel about the enemy's fleet composition.

*The 1600mm plate gives you a little buffer to help you escape, like an LSE. It slows you down, but hopefully you'll be fighting aligned anyway. The loss of one SDA will slightly reduce your jam strength and jam range.

*Even the T1 Meta 0 1600mm plate can be expensive for a new player, unlike the LSE. You also need Engineering V to get enough powergrid to squeeze it on.

*The extra midslot thus freed up can be fitted with a Sensor Booster, or a fifth jammer. This example fit has an extra Minmatar jammer for lowsec roams -- although Minmatar ships have weaker sensor strengths, they're also very popular with lowsec pirates. For war fleets or nullsec work you may want to consider a different race.

*Cargohold should still have spare racial jammers.
