Wow, did I get this right. NPC pirates can't be jammed? Meaning, sensor dampeners (minimizing their range, etc...) don't work on them?
Ok, I've had quite a bit of experience fighting rats in my blackbird, and here's what I've found. Rats ARE Jammable, yup.. they are. NPC Rats however have a very unique sensor situation which i'm still working on totally understanding.
Angels, which what I've spent most of my time fighting, can be jammed with multispec gear. The higher quality the rat, the higher the jam requirements. They have ALL sensor types though to work with for some reason. IE An Angel Depredator has Grav strength of 10, Mag Stength of 10, Ladar strength of 10, and Radar strength of 10. You have to compensate for ALL these sensor types in order to succesfully jam them. This means you can run all multispecs (and kiss your cap goodbye) or run 4 of each type of race specific jammer.
When Hunting Rats, If I know i'm not going to see anything bigger than a 20k pirate. The one of each of the race specific jammers seems to be sufficient. that provides -12 jam to all sensor types, essentially indefinetly (with my engineering skills, and a power diag) If i'm going to go after the big boys (which is a lot more common anymore) i'll throw in a multispec in the fifth slot and kick all jam types up to -16. This is sufficient to jam every angel i've ever encountered. That last multi-spec sucks you cap. But it's awfully funny to just watch an angel liquidator run from you.. cause he can't do a damn thing.
On a side note, Guristas Seem to be a little different.. i can't seem to find a definet pattern with what it takes to jam different types of them.. the stupid little 3k guristas require the use of all 5 of my ecm pods to jam them.. which is definetly weird.. more to come.
And just before everyone starts knocking my tactics and such, this is my NPC setup, and it's more experiental than anything else. PVP'n I've got a totally different setup, which I'll share at a later date, cause I've already typed enough on this subject.
