==ECM drones==

~~So now we know what ECM is~~ and ~~how it will help us escape enemy aggression~~, ~~how do we apply~~ ECM to ~~enemy targets?~~

AMC pilots will sometimes find themselves alone and not part of a fleet, such as during solo mining operations or other solo activities. In these situations, the easiest way to retain some ECM capability without fitting EWAR modules is to use ECM drones.

For self defence, where you will likely find yourself alone, maybe unfleeted, such as solo mining operations or other solo activities, the easiest way to give yourself some ECM capability without fitting modules that might reduce your Tank, is to use ECM Drones.

All [[Mining Barges]] and [[Exhumers]] have drone bays that can fit ten light drones, with the exception of the {{sh|Retriever}} which has a smaller drone bay and can carry only five.

All [[~~Mining_Barge#Mining_Barge |~~ Mining Barges]] and [[~~Mining_Barge#Exhumer |~~ Exhumers]] have drone bays that ~~will allow you to carry 10 Light Drones~~, with the exception of the ~~[[Retriever~~ | Retriever]] which has a smaller drone bay and can carry only 5.

What this means is that in the majority of cases you can carry a full complement of 5 defensive [[Drones_101#Combat_Drones | Light Combat Drones]] along with 5 Hornet EC-300 Light ECM Drones. Or if you would prefer you could carry more of any one type, however the amount of drones you can fly at any one time depends on the capabilities of the ship you are flying.

===Using Hornet EC-300 Drones===

Using any drone requires the pilot to have the necessary prerequisite skills.

~~Using any drone requires you top have the skills required to fly them.~~

The {{co|wheat|Hornet EC-300}} requires the following skills to use:

Some of these skills may take a little while to train for newer pilots – however the obvious advantage they give ~~to you~~ in terms of defensive capabilities ~~often~~ make it a worthwhile investment.

The EC-300 is used in the same way as any other drone, Simply lock the target that has locked onto your ship, and send the drones to attack that target. Once deployed the EC-300's will attempt to Jam the target repeatedly. If successful, the enemy ship will lose their lock on you and you can simply warp away to a place of safety. Generally a [[Safe_Spot | Safe Spot]] you have previously set up in the system you are mining in. It is recommended that at all times during ECM use you fight Aligned to your safe spot. The use of drones means there is no need to break the align to your place of safety, this dramatically reduces your warp out time if your Drones are successful.

~~Once successful~~, ~~it is generally considered wise~~ to ~~leave your~~ deployed EC-300's to their ~~fate~~, ~~as they~~ are ~~cheap and easily replaced~~. ~~Trying~~ to ~~collect them or waiting for them~~ to ~~return~~ to ~~you uses valuable~~ time ~~that could be better spent making~~ your ~~escape~~.
