Hmm. You had no BAP huh? That's going to require some further testing to be absolutely sure.

Sensible. I'm about 85% sure, but it's best to check.

I do believe you get the ECM counter bonus from the UAV. It's not quite the same if not odd.

I ran a build that had no BAP, but got the ECM bonus through the UAV... I think that could be why (it doesn't counter ECM exactly, but all ECM targets can be spotted within it's radius, allowing for LRM locks, w/o seeing the ECM thing occurring to the target).

Anyways, the UAV is the worth the money if you can spare it to accelerate the XP growth. I'm looking at you terribad Spider-5V.

You can buy a basic UAV for 40,000 c-bills, no GXP cost. To upgrade it to the same as the version, it costs 30,000 GXP total for both the range and duration upgrades.

The MC version only lasts longer (60) than the cbill one (45) to start with. The GXP UAV module that increases the range is for both types of UAVs


To answer the last 3 posts the UAV breaks ECM this has been confirmed by me and others many times. I have also edited the OP to reflect that. You get the C-ECM bonus and I think you can get a C-ECM Assist whatever that is also.

The UAV ECM-bonus change is recent AFAIK. That may or may not have occurred on the release of the ECM bonus.

Well, after a few games indeed UAVs do grant C-ECM bonuses on top of the spotting bonuses and assists. Wow. Okay, then that changes things...


I think so. As I never noticed it all the times I launched them after the change before now.

Would I lie to you.
