Been my experience pre Master you only really can use it once per enemy. Example being if you use it once to get away from the vette even when the timer is done you can't use it again and have it work. You mileage may differ but that has been my experience

I noticed the same thing. And they really don't like it when you scramble and then shoot at them.


BTW, does IFF Scramble have any effect in PVP?

There are actually 2 timers when it comes to IFF. There's a Pilot Special re-use timer, and there's a IFF specific lockout. You can IFF, and often if you try to use it later while in the same system, it won't work "That trick won't fool anyone for a while"


I believe if you used IFF, then went to a different system, you could re use it free and clear once the re-use timer expired, but trying to use it in the same system will lock you out for a longer stretch.
