=====ECM=====

ECM has a chance of completely blocking someone's ability to target anything.  It is specific to the type of sensors a ship uses, gravimetric for Caldari, Guristas & Mordus Legion, ladar for Minmatar and Angel ships, magnetometric for Gallente, Serpentis, ORE and SOE ships, and radar for Amarr, Blood Raider and Shansas.  The Modules are color coded to match the show info window, Gold for radar, Blue for Magentometric, Grey for Magentometric, and Rust coloured for Ladar.  There are also the "Rainbow" universal ECM jammers, which affect all 4 slightly more weakly than the specifics.  Generally most pilots will run a rainbow module.  The chance of ECM working is based on your jammer strength, and the strength of the target's sensors, multiple jammers will increase your chance by stacking penalties do apply, so it is usually not worth focusing more than a few ECMs on one target.  

ECM is the most effective E-War when it works, but it is not guaranteed so in some circumstances other ECM types will be better.
