==Rookie EW Tips==

Target painters should be applied on the primary. Tracking disrutors should be used on turret ships and spread around. ECM and damps should also be spread around, preferrably on non-primary ships if there are enough targets. TD, ECM, and Damps should pick targets ~~like~~ tacklers do when they need to point at random; pick a target that has a character name that starts with the same letter as your own character name, or as close to possible in the alphabet. Sorting the overview by character name can help in the target selection if it is done this way. Apply one EW module, then move down the list and try to apply one EW module per target until you run out of targets. Although large ships such as battleships should be prioritized, or battlecruisers if there are no enemy battleships on the field. The target's range, as well as the optimal and falloff of your EW modules should be taken into consideration when selecting targets. Use your best judgement.

With damps, a scan resolution script should be loaded by default and used most of the time. A celestis will have trouble range damping snipers, and can only do so up to 100 km or so for rookie pilots, although this varies with fitting and modules. Some mid-range snipers shoot from within 100 km, and it might be worth loading a range script for those. However damps have a short optimal, and in falloff the chances of damping get lower the further out the target is located. Resolution damping is only useful with some ECM on the field.
