Hey,
Ive been thinking about becoming a EW gang/fleet
support pilot but is it still worth it?.
Ingens.
Yes.
If it wasn't, then why are scorpions/blackbirds/rooks still always called primary?

Would you recomend using 5 Hornet EC-300 Light ECM Drones for jamming. I fly a Prophecy and im mostly close range combat. Would 5 of the ECM drons help me at close range? Or are those drones even useful?
I don't use those EW drones myself (I prefer the energy neutralisers), but judging from their jam strength (1) each one will have ~10% chance of jamming the average frigate and about a 5% chance of jamming an average BS.
It depends - do you really need the jam, or would the damage of 5 T2 lights be more useful?
If nothing else, hopefully the other pilot will overestimate their effectiveness and fire their drones/shots on your jamming drones, saving your tank a few shots.

Well i guess the t2 dps drones will be more useful if its only a 5% chance that 5 drones with jamm.
No. If you read carefully, each individual drone has a 5% chance of jamming.
If you task all 5 drones on a target, you'll have an overall 23% chance of achieving at least 1 jam per cycle.
Bear in mind that 5% chance is on a 20 sensor strength BS. Different BS have different sensor strengths which will affect the calculation and the probabilities.

Another question, how about anti EW? Whould it be smart to fit 1 Warp Core Stabilizer so that players who only have 1 Warp Core Destabilizer will not be able to scramble my warp drive? They would need 2 Scramblers to do that? I think something like this is a must have incase you need to escape a fight that you cant win?
If you check the attributes of a WCS, you'll see it kills your lock speed and locking range, thus making them unsuitable for combat loadouts.
It was changed several patches ago so that pirates couldn't just run away from any fight they couldn't win half way through. You now either commit or run away at the start.

So if all my 5 drones fail to jamm my target, how long do i have until i can use the drones to try and jamm my target again? Also, are there skills i can train to increase my drones jamm chance?
And if my target gets jammed that means it cannot attacj me for a full 20 seconds duration?
If you look at the attributes of the drone, you'll find the answer to both of your questions (20 seconds).
As far as I know, there is no skill that improves the effectiveness of EW drones, only the range, speed and durability.
