So the jammers have a 20 seconds duration/activation cycle. and then there is a skill, projected ECM, which reduces the activation cycle time by 5% per level. My guess this also decreases the duration of a successful jam. I just dont see the point - not only it increases cap needs for the module, but also I would rather have the jam effect longer, even if less often, than shorter.
Am I missing something? Or is that skill kinda pointless?

The point is for it to suck less when you miss a jam.

Projected ECM does not affect the standard targeted ECM modules, it effects ECM bursts used by super carriers.

well, like I said I would rather have it activate for longer, than more often. I am using a jammer in burner team missions, and it is much better if the jam duration is longer - the logi flees further and I have more time to kill the other logi...

but this -

makes much more sense! The skill description needs to be more specific. Thanx, Aerie.
