Are drones affected by the ECM? Meaning, I have drones upon me, could ECM Burst module affectt them on the lock? Likewise for jamming modules, etc.

Just curiousness as I am always looking for the unique gameplay............

Thank you in advance for all answers, even the trolls.

If you get jammed it breaks all locks you have for 20 sec. If your Drones are attacking the target they will continue to follow them even past your control range till they warp off grid. You can order them to return but you can not command them to attack till you can lock another target.

They have 7.5 small, 12.5 medium and 22.5 large Sensor Strength so I assume they can be jammed off as well.

Shes not talking about jamming the player, shes talking about jamming the drones themselves.

ECM bursting enemy drones won't do much, as they lock insanely fast.

But it does break locks?

I'm actually curious, because if that works, then I should be able to damp a drone down so its lock range is below its orbital radius.

Well, me and another 3 or 4 arazu pilots Cool

you can do everything to a drone that you can do to a ship Blink

you can neut ecm drones so they cant jam you too.
