I know that a locked ship can still target the locking ship (and no other ship), but does that also apply to the locking ship’s _drones_? In other words, can the locked ship shoot down the ECM attacker’s drones? ---

Yes you can shoot the ECM-Drones, but I do not know whats happens when more than one of these EC-Hornets have successful attempts. ---

OK, so if I successfully jam an opponent using my ship’s modules, it sounds like he can still target my attack drones. Man, they _really_ do not want pilots to ECM solo. ☹ ---

If multiple drones get a succesfull jam you can target all of the ones that jam you. ---

A jammed target can only target ships and drones that they are jammed by. I don’t think that if you jam a ship they can target your drones unless your drones are ECM drones that have also jammed that ship. ---

I think he meant if for example a blackbird jammed your ship you could still target its dps drones, my thoughts are I don’t think so. ---
