Hello,

will missiles target the POS shield or just the ECM modules; is smartbombing the only way to go vs. pure ECM setups?

Thanks

Considering CCP's imagentive use of FOF missles it wouldn't suprise me if they didn't turn around and blow you up instead.

Pure ECM is kinda weak if undefended. The benefits to a pure-ECM pos are if you have a few gunners you can permajam any logistics and then hit the other ships.

A sentry domi puts out almost 800 dps @ 50km.

I believe FoF's hit whatever the closest thing shooting you is. So if you're the only enemy on grid, huddle up next to one of the modules and you'll hit that one. I'd be surprised if they hit the tower, since the tower itself isn't shooting you.

Thanks for the help guys, the Dominix suggestion sounds interesting.
