Jamming ships (emp ships)

[Lord Philemon]

For example emp-fighter:
If an emp-fighter jams a destroyer, will the destroyer shoot in class 2 battle?

[admin]

yes, the jamming only counts for that class battle. jamming simply means that the ship that was jammed is counted as if it already had shot

I have another question regarding jammers. I read somewhere, or someone told me, that both emp jammers (fighter and multi) jam the ships before the battle. In other words if you have 100 emp fighters you will definitely jam 100 fighters. Is this correct?

[admin]

it is not before the battle but you get back the initiative after its shot:

so if you had ONLY jam-ships, then all your ships would shoot in a row. (the enemy would have maximum 1 shot before, in case he shoots first)
