Hi, I'd like to know, would Electronic Warfare be useful at all for a non-PVP Miner? I just defend against NPC Pirates usually, is EW only useful for PVP

Nah, I usually scramble and web the roids so they don't run.
More seriously... NPC's has very high values on their sensors and radars... So it's kinda impossible to jam them

Only *useful* for PvP - No.
Only *practical* for PvP - Yes.
NPC ships have insanely high sensor strengths.
For example, while some of the best cruisers have around 12 strength in a single sensor type, some NPC cruiser pirates flying "lesser" ships will have 15 in ALL sensor types.
Even some frig pirates have 12-15 in all sensor types.
You CAN jam NPCs - It is just not practical to do so. (With tech 2 or tech 3 jammers this might be a different story, but since multispecs eat cap at an insane rate, it's not worth it to try to jam NPCs.)

Thank you.
Do NPC Pirates use EW at all? (jamming, scrambling, etc) and if so... what Skills do I need to counter it?
I'm not thinking of using EW against *them*, just using it to prevent them messing *me* up

NPC's use warp scramblers, well the medium to very nasty ones do
Carry a warp core stabalizer, if you don't have the gunns to blast them

That's not enough.
All NPC pirates that use warp scramblers, has a range of 25 km, and they scramble with a strength of 2. So you need 2 warp core. And there is also a big risk that you gets scrambled by more than 1 NPC at a time. ie, you'll have to carry like 6 warp cores if you want to bet away from NPCs
But no, no NPC use any EW (except scrambling and webbing). You'll not find a pirate using ECM, sensor dampeners or weapon disruptors.

This is not entirely true. The lesser NPC pirates have scrambling ranges that vary from 5k-20k range... Just an FYI...

Have I been wasting my time webifiy NPC 'rats (generally don't venture deeper than .4 space)?
I usually just throw a web on a rat when he comes close, Hammerheads swarm, 'rat goes bye bye.

2 tac shields, 2 tracking cpu's, 3 webbers and a mwd = my favourite scorpion npc setup
Webify them and then let your projectiles pick them apart.

Since the big tracking nerf, webifiers have been VERY useful for killing NPCs.
75% reduction in target speed = equivalent of 4x the tracking speed.

This is very much true. Very handy. I believe the tracking suppressors also work on NPCs. It's mostly just target locking that džesn't work against npcs. I have in fact heard, although I have no proof, that in fact all EW effects are shared among all rats in a belt (unless this is a bug that was fixed) so you might get even more bang for your buck on some EW gear....

Cool, congrats.
Oh, stupid idea by the way.
