OK, So i was thinking about getting me some nice EW equipment to allow me to nail some of these nasty player pirates  
So i figure well it has to be either a BB, Scorp Or Raven.. I was talking to Violation the other day (suprisingly a nice guy  ) and he said his Raven was excellent.. however i dont fancey having to replace a 100mil BS so i am kinda gonna discount that although i would be interested in you thoughts on those..
So i figure the BB or the Scorp.. now BB:
1) Cheap to replace
2) 8 Med Slots
3) Looks Cool
4) Reasonable Speed
5) Reasonable Shields
Scorp:
1) BS
2) BS
3) BS
So.. what sort of loadout would we go with on each? i had a thought about this and came up with:
Hi: 4 * Launchers, 2 * 250mm's
Med: 4 * ECM Jammers, 1 * ECM Multi, 1 * AB, 1 * Med Cap Booster, 1 * Shield Booster
Low: 2 * Kytpon Dampner, 1 * Sensor Booster
i cant remember what the low slot count on a Scorp is (4??) but i figured i would have one slot left over for whatever..
my questions would be:
1) how does this sound for Pvp?
2) Anyone got any suggestions or experiences that they wish to share that may enable me to get a better loadout??
Well thanks in advance !

Really it has 6? oh..
Well i was wondering about the Scorp as it would not be all that harsh to replace with some insurance and it has 8 med slots not 6 
So.. if there was only me flying about hunting these ppl i may be better off in a Scorp than a BB..
As i said i was looking for some opinions, thanks for the correction tho

Well i was thinking of 4 * Race Specifc ones but 1 Grav, 1 Mag, 1 Radar, 1 Ladar, Plus The ECM Multi this would equal 12ish?? (ie, enough to jam a Cruiser) i am at work and cant remember the exact numbers, i am just thinking over some setups i could use on my "Trial Run" tonight in a BB.
My EW skills, med guns, extra gunnery (traj analysis etc) are all lvl 4 plus gunnery 5 and a whole host of other ship/combat lvl 4 skills so i think my skills are ok for what i want to do it is just getting some info about loadouts..
Thanks for the info on the Scorp tho.. sounds interesting..

Wow, ppl calm down ! 
Violation man, i love your sig v.funny 
Well, ok so i realise Multi's will eat cap (hence only one) i know i will only have one med slot left too.. but what to do with it?? if i run 4 Multi's then i would need to put a cap booster in one of those leaving just one again..
There must be a nice setup that will allow me to jam? ppl do it.. although i must admit i generaly see 2 BB's working as a team more offen than not.
i May get a scorp and go for "a spin" in that as it seems to be alot more diverse..
So currently thinking about:
Hi: 4 * Lauchers, 2 * Med Proj (dunno which yet)
Med: 3 * Multi's, 1 * Med Cap Booster, 1 * Warp Jammer, 1 * Shield Booster
Low: 1 * Sensor Booster (F90?), 2 * Dampner
This would give me a reasonable ability to jam anything no bigger than a cruiser.. this is deffinetly getting better... thanks for all the help..
Anyone got any more suggestions??

So i think i may be missing something here.. what to Specific ECM mods do in terms of there points? i though it was -6 for the specific then -2 for everything else? i know this totals 12 but i thought that you needed to take the SPECIFIC mathod to 0 to stop them getting a lock (anything from 2 down allows a very unstable lock)..
So me in my Mega +16 Mag.. My BB with 1 Specific and 1 Multi = 16 so my mega would still have 6 Mag (according to show info) which SHOULD allow my Mega to lock my BB ?? is this wrong then?? will i not be able to lock the BB even though i still have 6 mag?

Shall i just get a Scorp ??
Well there MUST be a way surely? ok so 4 Specific and 1 Multi leaves me one med but i can jamp everything under the sun..
4 Multi's leaves me 2 med but no cap..
So what about 3 Multi's?? gonna cream my cap but i could have a booster installed..??
so what about my last suggested loadout? how will that fare?
