Sleepers '''can be jammed by ECM''', but this will generate a very high threat level for the jamming player and the player may end up as primary target for all Sleepers on grid. Additionally most Sleepers will try to fly out of range of the jammer ( though some battleships might try to "cuddle" the jammer). However this is the most reliable defence against the remote repair abilities of the sleepers which often is so strong that the damage done by multiple player battleships is repaired in seconds. | Sleepers '''can be jammed by ECM''', but this will generate a very high threat level for the jamming player and the player may end up as primary target for all Sleepers on grid.

In practice, this means that a Scorpion is the only ECM boat that's practical in a higher-class wormhole -- smaller ships will be destroyed by volley damage before they can be repaired. On the bright side, Sleepers can be jammed equally well by any racial jammer. | In practice, this means that a [[Scorpion]] is the only ECM boat that's practical in a higher-class wormhole -- smaller ships will be destroyed by volley damage before they can be repaired.

The sensors of the '''Sleepers can also be dampened''' which will result in Sleepers trying to come closer to the player in order to get into targeting range again. This also will generate a very high threat level against the dampening player. | The sensors of the '''Sleepers can also be dampened''' which will result in Sleepers trying to come closer to the player in order to get into targeting range again.
