Skills:Electronic Systems

Overview

The Electronic Systems group contains all skills related to offensive Electronic Warfare. Some of the skills here are specialized skills which are only useful for a limited selection of pilots. Any skillbooks that cost 3.5 million ISK or less qualify for The Skillbook Program.

Propulsion Jamming, which lets you operate tackling modules, is in a sense the cornerstone of PvP -- you can't kill someone if you can't stop them from warping away.

Skill Details

Burst Projector Operation

Operation of Burst Projector systems. Each skill level gives a 5% reduction in module activation time.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	8x
Price:	20M ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	Electronic Warfare V
I required for:	Burst Projectors
Notes:	Only relevant to capital pilots.

Cloaking

Skill at using Cloaking devices. 10% reduction in targeting delay after uncloaking per skill level. Can not be trained on Trial Accounts.

Attributes:
Multiplier:	6x
Price:	5M ISK
Alpha max level:	Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
Prerequisites:	CPU Management IV
I required for:	Tech 1 and Faction Cloaking Devices
III required for:	Improved Cloaking Devicess
IV required for:	Covert Ops Cloaking Device;  Black Ops,  Recon Ships
V required for:	CONCORD Modified Cloaking Device
Notes:	Level I allows you to fit a prototype cloak, which will let you remain hidden and undetectable by probes in a safespot for as long as you like. Level III lets you use the T2 cloaking device, which is necessary for the MWD+cloak trick, a useful technique for travelling safely through low-sec. Level IV lets you use the CovOps cloaking devices which will let you warp while cloaked, but can only be used on a limited range of stealth ("covert ops") ships. Most combat pilots can probably get away with only training to level I, while haulers should train to level III, and stealth specialists (who want to fly covert ops ships) need level IV.

Electronic Warfare

Operation of ECM jamming systems. 5% less capacitor need for ECM and ECM Burst systems per skill level. Note: Does not affect capital class modules.

Attributes:
