==== Damage dealers ====

If you don't see any stand-out targets, like logistics ships, jamming enemy damage-dealers is probably a safe decision. This usually means [[Battleship|battleships]] and [[Battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] but the enemy might field a fast-moving gang of smaller ships. The T2 cruiser-sized [[Cruiser#Heavy Assault Ships|heavy assault cruisers]] and frigate-sized [[Frigate#Assault ~~Ships~~|assault ~~ships~~]] are noteworthy smaller damage-dealers, and they don't have very high sensor strengths.

The T2 cruiser-sized [[Cruiser#Heavy Assault Ships|heavy assault cruisers]] and frigate-sized [[Frigate#Assault Frigates|assault frigates]] are noteworthy smaller damage-dealers, and they don't have very high sensor strengths.

If you're flying a Blackbird, Scorpion or Kitsune you will have a long enough range that you will be one of the few ships in the fleet that might be able to counter enemy snipers. With good ECM range skills, the Blackbird and Kitsune should have a decent chance to jam sniper HACs, and the Scorpion should have a decent chance to jam sniper battleships. (This is where a Targeting Range script can come in useful if you fitted a Sensor Booster.)
