Summary

The Scorpion gets a bonus to jammer strength and a large bonus to range. The scorpion has 8 mid slots and 5 low slots, but because the mids are largely taken up by jammers it is usually armor tanked with its 5 lows, and as a result it has a comparatively weak tank for a battleship. Due to its unrivaled ECM abilities and its comparatively weak tank for its size it is almost always targeted first in any fleet engagement. The Scorpion is the final entry in the Caldari line of ECM ships after the Griffin and Blackbird.

Skills

Caldari Battleship to at least IV to take advantage of the massive strength and range bonuses to your jammers. Electronic Warfare to at least IV to utilize T2 jammers and T2 signal distortion amplifiers. Frequency Modulation, Long Distance Jamming, and Signal Dispersion to at least IV to boost the strength and range of your jammers. All the skill to field a full tech 2 armor or shield tank to boost your survivability. Heavy Missiles, Cruise Missiles, or Torpedoes are not essential, but will help to squeeze some dps out of your four launcher slots. Alternatively, train Capacitor Emission Systems to level 5 to fit tech 2 large neuts.

Tactics

There are two ways to fit the Scorpion. The first way is to fit a shield tank and a small number of jammers in the mid slots and signal distortion amplifiers in the lows. This path banks on the higher chance of your jams actually landing to fit a stronger tank. The second way is to fit a full rack of 8 rainbow jammers in the mid slots and an armor tank in the low slots. This method relies on the sheer number of jammers it has to actually land the jam. This method is generally more popular because you have more chances to land a jam.
