Now, I know we have this:

And I'm aware it's quite a while before we get it in the timeline. For whatever reason that we have fusion reactors, but not a dispenser for aluminum strips. But I'd still like to put this forward.

Suppose we could have this act as a temporary ECM bubble in the location it was deployed, and it's remaining time is represented by a sparkle particle to show the chaff strips still in the air. It'd also act as a pseudo smoke screen; with the whole effect lasting about 2 seconds.

Ideally you would use this to stop locks getting on you if you found yourself in a bad spot.

Thoughts?

Make it lasr 15 seconds. Do a chaff particle effect that fades over time. Bap and tag are defeated for that period but the down side is ALL mechs in the area are also blocked from targeting anyone.

Great idea.

Hey, I suggested this a while back!

...It died on the vine.

Frankly, I think this is very necessary!
