    • What is Jamming?

      I do not understand what the field in the gövt resource is that "modifies jamming." What am I jamming? What causes this jamming? Should I be putting in random entries, as I am doing currently?

      Thanks.

      Jamming is what causes guided weapons to commonly spin around in circles. This is used in such devices as the Needle Jammer and Miranu ECM system. It makes guided weapons less efficient. If you are talking about gövt resources, governments can have inherent jamming types for their ships, if I remember correctly. That field modifies what type of jamming they have (Strong, weak, type I, II, III, etc). Some weapons are only affected by certain types of jamming. This allows you to make one government basically immune to another's guided weapons. To answer your question, I wouldn't put in random stuff. EVO might not like it, and it might cause general confusion. i don't think it will really hurt anything, as you have to define what types of jamming your missiles are affected by.

      Well, not RANDOM random stuff, but I basically put in random hex combinations because I don't care. I make sure the combos I put in are "legal", according to the Holy Book.
