For some strange reason my mind has focused on the never used ECM Burst modules. Its range sucks. But its "jam" strength is great. As far as I know the Scorpion is the only ship with any bonus to ECM Burst modules (30% to falloff if I recall).
I'm not condoning it yet. But if you were to fit a ship with an ECM burst, which one would you use and how would you fit it? Perhaps a smartbombing nos scorp?

This would probably work great in groups. You could do like the Pervs famously did a while back, when they used smart bombs to destroy a fleet of battleships. For a more average set of players, the ECM burst modules spread out across the playing field just like the smart bombs would keep people from fighting back while you kill them slowly. The scorpion would be great for this. Get some friends together and go tramping about in scorpions with smartbombs and ecm bursts and start tackling fleets. I only wish I could join you.

you can only activate 1 ecm burst on a ship, and that makes me sad

I've used a similar setup occasionally. It's difficult to use effectively because:
a) For solo or very small engagements it lacks firepower - a scorp cannot run a full rack of SB for more than 2-3 cycles and they have limited range.
b) Larger fleets are usually completely separated, meaning you have to fly in alone or
c) Completely mixed up, in which case your weapons and ECM burst will hit your friends as well as enemies.
d) The jam effect is very effective (it gets a bonus to strength as well as range), particularly on drones, all of which will lose lock and reacquire... you.
It's a one trick pony, but it will get you on all the killmails...

How expensive are faction smartbombs? Seems that would help the range/cap issues.

For 100s milions, to couple bilions.

Ah, fair enough. I got a handful of medium shadow serpentis SBs for 1 mil a pop. I guess the bigger ones are more expensive.

Yes, the bigger ones increased range can be fit on capital ships and then used to destroy warp disrupt probes. Motherships used to fit 2x smartbombs before infini-point and this allowed them to cyno out of any situation.

Personally, I think if one were to use ECM Bursts, they would be for fast, hit-and-run attacks. Dive in, pop it off, and GTFO to next target.
Adding a ECM Burst to a each ship in a Disco battleship gang could add to the already considerable lulz factor.
I believe that Discos are true herd animals that need to be used in fairly tight groups. That means same-type smarties all around and everyone tanks to that damage type. Add a Logistics or two for added life expectancy. Sisi Training in formation flying would be helpful to maximise smarty overlap while minimising overlap on hulls of gangmates.
It can be quite fun to overtake a slower ship with a circle of discos.
The ECMs could very well help out on those ships that are just out of smarty range. Will have to check it out.
