==Electronic warfare skills==

As explained above, each kind of electronic warfare requires that you have an associated skill (along with Electronics III) before you can use it. Each skill reduces the capacitor need of the associated ~~ewar~~ module by 5% per level. The four skills are:

As explained above, each kind of electronic warfare requires that you have an associated skill (along with Electronics III) before you can use it. Each skill reduces the capacitor need of the associated EWAR module by 5% per level. The four skills are:

* For ECM: [[Skills:Electronics#Electronic_Warfare|Electronic Warfare]] (although this skill is called 'Electronic Warfare' it only applies to ECM, not to the other three varieties of ~~ewar~~)

* For ECM: [[Skills:Electronics#Electronic_Warfare|Electronic Warfare]] (although this skill is called 'Electronic Warfare' it only applies to ECM, not to the other three varieties of EWAR)

* For TD: [[Skills:Electronics#Weapon_Disruption|Weapon Disruption]]

* For damps: [[Skills:Electronics#Sensor_Linking|Sensor Linking]]

* For TP: [[Skills:Electronics#Target_Painting|Target Painting]]

One of these skills to level 1 together with the skill required to fly an appropriate ~~ewar~~ frigate -- at the most, a few hours' training time in total -- are '''all you need''' to fly in an ~~ewar~~ role in a uni fleet and potentially make a big battlefield impact. This is why the ~~ewar~~ role is one of the roles recommended for new pilots in Eve University.

There are further skills which can increase your ~~ewar~~ effectiveness: these aren't a concern for new players, but may be worth training if you are planning on regularly flying in the electronic warfare role. Each kind of electronic warfare also has a second associated skill which actually makes it more effective. These skills require Electronics V and four levels in one of the skills listed above. The four skills are:

* For ECM: [[Skills:Electronics#Signal_Dispersion|Signal Dispersion]] - 5% bonus to strength of ECM jammers per level, requires Electronics V and Electronic Warfare IV

Although it has 'jamming' in its name, Long Distance Jamming definitely affects target painting, tracking disruption and remote sensor dampening as well as ECM. Despite this, both these skills have Electronic Warfare (yes, the ECM skill) as a prerequisite: EW II for Frequency Modulation, EW III for Long Distance Jamming. Drone users might as well train EW to IV, since it is also a prerequisite for [[Skills:Drones#Electronic_Warfare_Drone_Interfacing|Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing]], which increases your drone control range (for all drones) and unlocks EW drones.

Other significant skills for electronic warfare are your spaceship command skills for your ~~ewar~~ platform of choice (ship bonuses mean that the Crucifier's TD gets better as your Amarr Frigate skill levels up, the Blackbird produces better ECM as your Caldari Cruiser skill levels up, and so on) and skills that help you target more things, faster and further away: [[Skills:Electronics#Targeting|Targeting]], [[Skills:Electronics#Signature_Analysis|Signature Analysis]] and [[Skills:Electronics#Long_Range_Targeting|Long Range Targeting]].
