Operation: Train Falcon is underway
by krandor on Jan.26, 2009, under Eve Online, Spaceship Command, skill training
I’ve noticed that ECM is a huge thing in PvP now. And a fleet always needs a good ECM Pilot. Hell, we all learned that flying with VGL and CAPS. deltauk1 is probably the best ECM pilots i’ve ever flown with. I can only hope that i’ll be as good as he is. One thing that he did show me was that ECM is to be feared. There’s nothing like a three man gang taking out a gang with double the numbers just because delta could sit back and jam most of the enemy.
As of right now, i can fly a Blackbird with T2 Jammers. I’m working on my targetting skills right now (Targetting V in just under 4 days now). Next will be maxing out my long range jamming skills (only to 2 or 3 right now). To be honest though, i’ll be saving the rig skills for last, I think the other stuff is more important. Jamming strength, range, and quantity take priority over rigging IMO. The hard thing will be learning to fly an ECM ship properly. I’ve been thinking about how i’ll fly in a fleet. Small tactics i can use to surprise the enemy when they try to get the jump on us. I’ve also been thinking about all the bookmarks i’ll need to make as tacticals on my home turf (a task that i really don’t look forward to, but i know needs to be done).
So, if everything goes well, i’ll be in a falcon/rook in about a month and half. Wish me luck!

I know Shy can fly a Falcon right now. As to skills, meh, who knows.
Maybe we should do a test run?

maybe indeed
I’d be down for a jamming skirmish.

FEAR THE BUBBLES!
like really, landing within 40km or so of the enemy = dead falcon

A skirmish indeed.
We do need to run some more ops. Well, correction, I need to get involved in more ops. I’ll bring my Falcon out and see what we can jam up.
