i shit you not‚ this would be hilarious and also blob proof, i suppose we could allways fit it t1 and dont bother with rigs and just use it as a dirt cheep lol fleet?

Heh.

Limited by range of jammers etc‚ you need to get in close.

Оriginally Postеd by Lord Molly

jam range of 96km + 107‚ think that wud be ok but only locks to 103km so prehaps loose the ecm burst for a sebo with range script.....

Оriginally Postеd by Krugerrand

Oh yeah you dont want that ECM burst cos it will fuck with your targetting anyway :P

And thats range assuming people are trained up with ECM‚ which a lot of people wont be

Оriginally Postеd by Fogy

co-ordinating 30-40 people to jam out a 100 man fleet.Good luck with that :P
could be fun in a "lol fleet" but i think cruise missiles would be better then torps‚ you will need that extra range..

Оriginally Postеd by Pallidum Treponema

I agree with using cruise. What would be the tactic of this? Treating them like oversized drakeblob with jamming?

Also‚ you don't need to coordinate the jamming, you just have to disrupt enough of the hostile firepower to seriously reduce their effectiveness.

Оriginally Postеd by Serge

jamming coordination would give me a headache with hostile ships getting in and out of battle thus always presenting a different overview

however‚ one would have to sort targets not by name but by position or so you, each pilot needs to have a group of targets-to-jamm and we also need redundancy
you will end up searching the overview for your jamming targets
to help keep on shooting, it'd prolly be necessary to tag primaries (as an example)
definitly a lot of work for the scorpion pilots

counter: damps and snipers

Оriginally Postеd by Savel

Drake blob with about 7k more ehp‚ less volly + jamming. Depending on peoples jam skills ranging anywhere from a decent jam chance to a bats in hell.

Would be a fun mess around fleet. Get people with good jam skills to take out the key targets like logis etc.

Оriginally Postеd by Spicypixel

Jam the person whos name is closest to yours‚ S to S etc, It'll probably fail but it'll work if we try!!

Оriginally Postеd by Hiro Apropos

Actually ‚figuring an eaѕy way to sort out who in a Scorp attacks what whеn you have no idea what the enemy fleet composition is going to be is rather simple. X number of Scorpions‚ each ѕcorp runs full jammеrs vs 1 race with a single jammer towards a secondary race (generally either Amarr or Minmatar for anti logi use) and using the support tab‚ jamѕ thosе first.

Thiѕ is likе Sc0rched Earth-level bad. Even the lows/rigs of the Scorp are retarded.
