Griffin: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

The Griffin is the Caldari Tech 1 [[electronic warfare]] frigate, specializing in [[Electronic Countermeasures|ECM]]. Although the Griffin is cheap and requires few character skills, it can have a significant battlefield impact.

ECM is a particularly powerful type of EWAR: a successfully jammed enemy loses all their target locks and cannot lock any ship other their jammer for 20 seconds. This can reduce the damage directed at your fleet, prevent enemy [[logistics]] ships repairing their allies, and break [[Tackling|tackle]], allowing friendly ships to escape. In group PvP combat, the Griffin is a powerful force multiplier. Because of its cheap cost and low SP requirements, groups living in dangerous space often also keep spare Griffins in their hangars ready to jam tackle off when a friendly PvE ship is attacked; because these ships are used to pry tackling ships off, players sometimes colloquially call them "crowbars".

For new EVE players, flying this ship only requires training {{sk|Caldari Frigate|I}}, a skill which Caldari characters begin with and which can be quickly trained by anyone else; anyone who has completed the first six hours of the E-Uni [[Short Skill Plan]] can be basically functional in a Griffin. Griffin pilots who enjoy flying ECM can consider training for the [[Blackbird]] in the short term, and for the [[Kitsune]], [[Rook]] and [[Falcon]] in the long term.
