Keres
 
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

Electronic attack ships are mobile, resilient electronic warfare platforms. Although well suited to a variety of situations, they really come into their own in skirmish and fleet encounters, particularly against larger ships. For anyone wanting to decentralize their fleet’s electronic countermeasure capabilities and make them immeasurably harder to counter, few things will serve better than a squadron or two of these little vessels.

Summary
Note: All Electronic Attack Ships were modified with Rubicon expansion. The information below has been updated for the release of Rubicon.
The Keres is a T2 version of the Maulus, but rather than just being a straight upgrade, it has an extra bonus to warp disruptor range, allowing it to point enemies from 40k or more when overheated. This is often combined with sensor range damping to push the enemy's lock range down below the Keres' point range, allowing it to tackle a target while leaving them unable to do anything about it. But if the fleet role does not require a point, the dampening will be effective in a range of an optimal 60 to 144km.
Guidance for using Dampeners
- Reject fleet warps and warp in at your optimal, which can be to either the Disruptor Point or Dampener range
- Warp in a few seconds after the fleet, as the targets will have already chosen their primaries and the FC will have identified your targets.
- Unless ordered to by the FC, do not target the primary, your frequent targets will be support, Logistics or other Ewar
- Be prepared to bounce repeatedly to avoid damage, this effectively keeps a target off the field.
Combat tips
- Use a fit that provides a defense against drones
- Use Dampeners on Snipers, which removes them from the field.
- Use Scripts on some of the dampener modules, which reduces the stacking penalties
Skills
Recommended skills to pilot Keres for a specific or it's common role(s).
Skills:
- Gallente Frigate gives a bonus to dampener effectiveness and reduces activation cost
- Electronic Attack Ships give a bonus to Warp Scrambler and Disruptor range (40+ Km) and reduces activation cost
- Frequency Modulation increases falloff on all Ewar modules, skill to IV or V
- Long Distance Jamming increases optimal on all Ewar modules, skill to IV or V
- Signal Suppression increases effectiveness on Sensor Damps, skill to V.
Good to have
- Sensor Linking reduces capacitor need.
- Propulsion Jamming reduces capacitor need.

Targeting Range Dampening Script x2
- A tentative fit for the Rubicon expansion
- With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship should have about 4050.0 K EHP, fly close to 2881 m/s (3200 m/s with MWD overheated) and align in 6.5 s (4.5 s with MWD off). The capacitor should be close to stable with the Smartbomb or MWD.
- Should be able when overheated to point at 56 km.
- Each Damp will reduce the target's targeting range by 58%
