With damps, a scan resolution script should be loaded by default and used most of the time. A celestis will have trouble range damping snipers, and can only do so up to 100 km or so for rookie pilots, although this varies with fitting and modules. Some mid-range snipers shoot from within 100 km, and it might be worth loading a range script for those. However damps have a short optimal, and in falloff the chances of damping get lower the further out the target is located. Resolution damping is only useful with some ECM on the field.

With tracking disruptors, which script to use varies with the range from which the enemy ship is shooting, and what type of weapon it has. For example, a megathron will have blasters with a short optimal and mediocre falloff, thus range scripted TD will often be very effective even it is shooting from close range. An abaddon with T2 pulse and scorch ammo can have an optimal over 40 km, and range scripted TD will be useless if it is shooting from ~~very~~ close range. When in doubt, you can use your TDs unscripted.

ECM is can be tricky to use. Fit racial jammers only. Multispectrals can be useful for high SP pilots, but for rookie pilots, racial jammers are better. The ECM modules should have their auto-cycle function turned off. Enemy ECM ships should be jammed first if possible. Try to match racial jammers to the appropriate racial ships.
