The problem with ECM is it stops you shooting at ANYONE. Hence...partial jamming. You'll FAR more likely be able to shoot at someone. Just...perhaps not the primary. (And it dosn't break lock, just prevent module activation/manual drone agro, and works on say a 10-15 second cycle...)
Agreed.

...Amarr get few things but they get those few things in vast quantities on less skill investment.
Actually the amarr and gallente SP requirements are pretty much idenetical. Gallente have drones as secondary weaponsystem, amarr have missles and (one *g*) droneship.
While the drone focus on gallente is quite a bit higher than the missle focus on amarr side you do not need to train heavily for drones AND turrets for gallente. If you focus on drones you can stick to the gallente droneships, if you want to go for blasters you can stick to the ships specialized in those.
Of cource, if you want to be more versatile it's a good idea to train for both, but thats an option, no need.
In short: amarr do not need fewer SPs than other races, unless you assume you specialize in everything the other races can do. Which isn't exactly a realistic viewpoint - i.e. there are not that many caldari which spec equally in hybrids *and* missles.

3. In the end the cap bonus makes lasers less cap hungry than hybrids and not requiring any ammo. And as to the tank. No other race can setup that WITHOUT a cap booster and so is limited by cargo space. However in that case Amarr have still the advantage of more free cargo space for booster charges.
- with the full 50% cap reduction bonus lasers still need more cap/second than their hybrid counterpart.
- if you think an apoc can run a dual repper setup without a cap booster think again.

Key thing to remember here is that an armageddon can field 5 heavy drones and have an entire cargo bay for Injector charges. An Apoc can put 2 Hevy NOS, cap injector with cargo full of stuff, and field 6 Dual Heavy Pulse IIs and cap charges as well 7 medium drones or 5 mediums and 5 lights.
So... generally you can outlast the opponent's tank. You could even make a case for Neut. Drones + NOS to break your enemy with amarr tech as long as you have the foresight to train for it.
Er.. I fail to see what this has to do with the original quote and my reply.
