Does anyone use them? What for? Also: the duration on ECM bursts is listed as 30 seconds. Does that mean they jam their targets for a full 30 seconds when they work? Thanks.

AFAIK the burst only breaks the lock, it doesn't jam at all.

Thanks.
There's one more concept I can throw out.

correct, they only break the initial lock so they're only really useful to have on ships in a "I'm dead otherwise anyway and I have a free midslot, might as well give it a go" like haulers.

U have about 3-4 seconds to gtfo after using ECM burst. Depends on the reactions of the other person, how fast can he lock back again and activate scram. Sometimes he`s just left with a big " wtf happend!! " on hes face:) Very useful if u know how to time`it...saved my ass lots of times:) |

What i don't get is why do haulers stick ECM burst on anyway. Once they go into hi sec they'll get popped by concord won't they? Since ECM burst counts as offensive.
Oh and another thing someone can clarify seeing as this threads up. Can ECM make you unprobable? That's what i've heard.

ECCM can make you unprobable on some ships. You need to boost your ship's sensor str above your sig radius. There are others ways to do it as well including implants and backup arrays

It'l be really cool for burst's to be affected by distortion amplifiers, really nice for 6th slot ships like raven or tempest.

Well, you don't use it in high sec, only in low/o.o, obviously.

Also only when outbound from a gate, never inbound, as you can't jump with an aggression timer.

According to EFT (not tested in game) they do gain the range bonus from the Scorpion. Of course, EFT used to show them receiving the jam strength bonus as well, which they do not (fixed in EFT now). That said, against large ships, they work well in conjunction with sensor damps using scan res scripts... Just make sure you align before you pulse them when using them to escape tackle.

EFT has never got ECM Bursts right.
An ECM Burst on a Scorpion receives both range and strength bonuses - Str 15.75, optimal 18 km. An ECM Burst on a Widow receives the strength bonus (recent fix by CCP) - Str 22.5, optimal 9 km.
ECM Bursts are not affected by SDAs. ECM Bursts are affected by rigs - PDPs and PDAs.
This means that you can get a Scorp with a PDA and 2x PDP, with Str 17.3 and optimal 25.4 km. Or a Widow with an ECM Burst of Str 26.85, optimal 9 km.
And finally, the best ECM Burst is this:
[Burst, ECM ECM Burst Burst] Damage Control II
1MN Afterburner II Enfeebling Phase Inversion ECM I 'Cetus' ECM Shockwave I
150mm Light AutoCannon II, EMP S 150mm Light AutoCannon II, EMP S
Small Particle Dispersion Augmentor I Small Particle Dispersion Projector I Small Particle Dispersion Projector I

Some use ECM burst on their capitals, where these can run non-stop and in a fleet of caps will these mess up all that is not immune to e-war. --

Posted this in the new forums but as its relevant. the ECM Burst really irritates people when your side doesnt use locks
