E.C.M. System

Overview

An ECM system, or Electronic Counter Measures system, is one of the first upgrade items any starship owner should buy. (Unless he/she is planning to stick to milkruns.) ECM will cause ALL primed missiles in range to auto-detonate. As with all arms-races, the millitary has developped ECM-hardened missiles (spacer-slang: hardheads), which are impervious to the current generation of ECM-systems.
