=== General Information ===

This class is intended for new or practically new pilots to EVE. This course is designed to give these pilots ~~enough of an~~ introduction to Caldari ECM and various in-game tools at their disposal. This class is also intended to help newer pilots get a grasp of ECM away from the Ewar 101 course where information overload is a concern. In a pinch it should have enough information to get ~~people~~ who have never touched an ECM vessel ~~enough of a grasp of what they are doing~~ such that in ~~case~~ of war where we do not have time to fully train newer pilots they can still benefit their fleet.

This class is intended for new or practically new pilots to EVE. This course is designed to give these pilots a rudimentary introduction to Caldari ECM and various in-game tools at their disposal. This class is also intended to help newer pilots get a grasp of ECM away from the Ewar 101 course where information overload is a concern. In a pinch it should have enough information to get pilots who have never touched an ECM vessel sufficient experience such that in the event of war where we do not have time to fully train newer pilots they can still benefit their fleet.

Due to the nature of the class try to limit this class to ten or twenty students at a time. This is to maximize one on one time for newer pilots.

'''Topic Three: Activating Modules'''

*Firing Process

**Target as many targets as you can.

**Chose a target.

**Look at the background on the target and match the background with the respective ECM module.

The easy answer will be to click your modules and let them go. For ECM it is essential to, "Fire", one module at a time as if more than one lands you will have wasted the extra modules. Likewise, once you have one target jammed, you can repeat the sequence on another target and so on until out of jamming modules.

~~Now for the practical:~~ In ~~space are 4 vessels from the various races being flown by other Uni-Members. I want you to lock each one of them. If you cannot see them switch your overview~~ to, "~~Fleetmembers~~" so you ~~can see them. Instructors~~ will ~~be labelled "Target One, Target Two, etc." When you~~ have ~~all four targeted please put an "X" in chat channel~~. ~~If you get a message from your neo-comm saying you have reached your maximum number of targets no worries. "X" up in chat~~ once you have ~~all four targets locked or your neo-comm tells~~ you ~~that you are locking~~ the ~~maximum number~~ of ~~targets~~.

In ECM it is ''essential'' to, "Fire", one module at a time as if more than one lands you will have wasted the extra modules. Likewise, once you have one target jammed, you can repeat the sequence on another target and so on until out of jamming modules.

Please note each vessel you have targeted has a different color background. Never mind which is which, the important thing is that each background corresponds to one of the races. Example, there is a red background, a red jammer, which for argument sake is Minmatar. Ideally when you select your first target to jam match up the color to the background. If the jam doesn't succeed use any of your other modules until one lands. Now, look at your remaining modules that are inactive, find the color background that matches the module color and continue. With luck you may be able to jam all the targets, though it is possible to have all four modules "miss".

~~(cycle through 3 of the students to get a quick practical, reminding everyone there will be time after class to live fire for everyone).~~

'''Topic Four: Surviving in an Ewar Vessel'''

Remember, while there are definitely some ships that are more important to jam than others, for purposes of this guide we only want you to have a basic idea so that when the whole screen turns bright "flashy" red you will at least have something to fall back on while you are hyperventilating going, "Zomg, flashies!".

Flying an ECM vessel means, by nature, you will be the first target primary target.

*Fight Aligned

**Upon landing in combat align to a celestial or bookmark

**As soon as someone targets you (red or yellow box) warp to that celestial or bookmark and then warp back.

**Remember ECM vessels are fragile. At the first sign of danger warp out. Waiting a few more seconds will likely get you killed.

To the Instructor: Prior to practical have everyone take a moment to familiarize themselves with the use of the Pod Saver tab to facilitate the practical.

'''Topic Five: Practical'''

Instructor: The principle is two fold. 1) The students should jam the tacklers. 2) They should escape without being tackled.

*To this end

**Flag four people down prior to class and get them to commit to flying racial tackling frigates.

**Explain that once the instructor warps off they may tackle any one left at will.

**No ship destruction as students are likely scared enough as it is.

**Have tacklers label their ships: Target1, Target 2, etc.

**Instructor should be labelled: Instructor

**Start the practical once the students have the, "targets", locked.

For the students

~~'''Topic~~ Four~~: Surviving~~ in ~~an Ewar Vessel'''~~

*Four tackle vessels being flown by other Uni-Members.

**Have your Fleet-mates tab open

**Fleet mates are purple

**Target each.

***On my mark I want you to activate modules on each racial frigate.

***If done properly the instructor will be able to warp out.

***If done properly you should escape without being tackled.

*** "X" up in chat once you have all four targets locked or your neo-comm tells you that you are locking the maximum number of targets.

To Students

~~First and foremost~~, you ~~are going~~ to ~~die and no amount~~ of ~~ehp, speed, mods, or~~ other ~~tricks will save you~~. ~~Caldari ECM boats~~ are ~~usually~~ the ~~first thing killed by anyone with sense as if~~ you ~~land a~~ jam ~~on someone they are out of~~ the ~~fight for at least 20 seconds~~.

*Please note: each vessel you have targeted has a different color background. Example, there is a red background, a red jammer, which for argument sake is Minmatar.

*Ideally when you select your first target to jam match up the color to the background. If the jam doesn't succeed use any of your other modules until one lands.

*Now, look at your remaining modules that are inactive, find the color background that matches the module color and continue.

* With luck you may be able to jam all the targets, though it is possible to have all four modules "miss".

~~Always be one step away from warping off, using your pod saver tab for reference~~. The moment someone starts locking you or God forbid you take damage, run...with luck your ship will survive, if not you will at least escape with your pod. There are tips for fighting aligned in the advanced guides/classes which you will ~~want to pick up on later, for right now just remember~~ to ~~run the moment anything looks at you funny or you start taking any real damage~~.

***Vibrant module activation counters indicate success.

***Dim module activation counters indicate you will need to try again.

Fortunately the ships you have fit right now have a fair chance of actually doing their job and are incredibly inexpensive to fit. On a similar note, the Uni will replace any ECM frigates and cruisers you lose during wartime or during roams. Additionally you are able to request an ECM Frigate if you do not have one.

Wrap Up:

This concludes ECM 090. This by no means is an exhaustive class on ewar and is intended only to help give you a hands on visual reference to handle your Caldari ECM vessel. There is a lot of material in the http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/ECM_Guide and in the http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EWar_101_Guide. Though ~~everyone~~ will look at you a bit strange feel free to go hunt npc pirates (rats) in belts to practice a bit and to get used to your fittings. ~~Please remember that '''''the ships provided for this class~~ are ~~not armed''''' for the safety of all hands concerned so you will need~~ to ~~fit weapons if you intend on attacking belt rats with your vessel~~.

*Noobs on Patrol fleets are an excellent opportunity to put skills to work in practical applications.

Once you have some time on the field using what we have covered today many of the concepts covered in the 101 guides will make sense, as an example the calculation of how far out you can jam an enemy with the greatest chance of success so you can maximize your range to target so you can in turn figure out how far away you should,"warp to", when engaging in fleets. At this point the instructors will spread out to varying ranges so people can live fire their ewar for practice. X-up in channel so we can get an order set and we will call your name on mumble. When you are done please turn off your modules and say your name-finished, and type it into chat. We will be staying out here for approximately another ten to twenty minutes then calling it a day.

**Check your calendar for details
