I've noticed a lot if people being sniped from thousands of ethers away by evil pirate stations, and Aceface's video of him shooting people from far away. I've decided to make this friendly PSA reguarding radar jammers.
Seriously people, use them. They're cheap and take very little power and space. But they provide a huge tactical advantage in both PVP and PVE. PVP because enemy players can't detect you unless they can physically see you, and missiles can't lock onto you. PVE because it decreases the AI accuracy.
However, a way to. counter then is scanners. If you get close enough and fire off a scanner, it decloaks and unjams anything near you. Then try and lock on with a missile. Or EMP beams if your ship has them. Once the enemy power reaches zero the radar jammer turns off.
Radar jammers: use them.
