======Electronic Warfare======

Electronic Warfare (or EWAR) is one of the most underrated parts of PVP in Eve Online. It's classed as a force multiplier, meaning that it supports and enhances any fleet it is part of, whilst negatively affecting any hostile fleets through a number of means.

If you are past the basics, try [[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:advanced_electronic_warfare]]

=====Types=====
There are two different types of Electronic Warfare, major and minor. Major Electronic Warfare are specifically designed to disable a ships offensive capabilities. Minor Electronic Warfare is designed to prevent ships from escaping combat scenarios.

====Major====

===Electronic Countermeasures===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:ECM]]** focuses on breaking and preventing ships from targeting and locking other ships

===Sensor Dampening===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:Sensor Dampening]]** focuses on reducing ships targeting range and lock time

===Target Painting===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:Target Painting]]** focuses on increasing ships signature radius increasing the chance of being hit by weapons and drones

===Tracking Disruption===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:Tracking Disruption]]** focuses on reducing the tracking speed and chance of being hit by projectile-based weapons.

====Minor====

===Warp Disruption===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:warp_disruption|Warp Disruption]]** is the use of Warp Disruptors and Warp Scramblers to prevent ships from warping off. This does not prevent ships from using gates.


===Warp Disruption Fields===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:warp_disruption_fields|Bubbles]]** are large spheres which prevent warping in an area. They come in two flavors: anchored and deployed. Anchored bubbles are permanent until they are destroyed. Deployed bubbles last 2 minutes if used by an Interdictor and until the module is turned off if used by a Heavy Interdictor. This does not prevent ships from using gates.


===Stasis Webifier===
**[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:stasis_webifier|Webs]]** slow a ships velocity by a significant amount which can allow ships to close the distance to them much more quickly.
