Regarding the use of chaff vs. jamming on ships, I pretty much just use chaff and don't bother taking up slots with jammers. Chaff are not only useful as chaff, but also greatly increase operational mobility by enabling you to chaff sweep MFs. Regarding being limited to warp 9, the QJ5 engine will go warp10, you just lose some of the chaff while doing so. Remember that chaff are meant to be destroyed so make them cheap, make lots of them, and don't hesitate to expend them. (NOTE: Well, don't just lose them to no purpose. For instance, before going into battle do a calculation of the number of missiles/turn your opponent will be firing and don't bring more than three turns worth of chaff to the battle since anything beyond that will in all likelihood simply be killed by your opponent's beamers.)
