Un-equipping the Guardian ECM causes it to disappear from equipment and reappear in the Mech.</p>

Steps to Reproduce
1. Boot the game.
2. Login to the game.
3. Select a Mech with Guardian ECM.
4. Un-equip the ECM and Save.
5. Observe ECM does not appear in Equipment.</p>

Notes
Looking inside the Mech will reveal the ECM in the Mech's head.

Workarounds
None Known

Questions
How often does this issue occur?
Does this occur with a specific mech or any mech?
What are your basic system specs? (CPU, GPU, RAM)

I bought the 3L pre-patch to level up all the Basic and Elite level skills. I unequipped both the Beagle and ECM since they we're useless at the time. I've tried to re-equip the ECM, but it only appears on the head slot. It wont allow me to equip it since it needs 2 slots but it only has 1 slot open.

Yeah tested it myself right now. Guardian ECM on the Raven 3L ist not re-equipable. It only appears on the head and there is only 1 slot free. ECM needs 2 slots. Fix Pls.
And please don't make ECM be equipable for all mechs. This would make the Raven and other potential mechs useless since it is too slow and too weak for other roles than electronic warfare support.

I had a heat sink in the head which would prevent re-equip

Lore-wise the Raven was special because it could equip both ECM and BAP. Being able to equip one or the other is common in Battletech. Is the bug that ECM was made two criticals in size?

ECM only come up as available part for Jenner when I select head, but as already pointed out here is two criticals in size.
So
1. Can it be only fitted to some mechs (I do not own larger mechs to know if they have more space in head)?
2. Not finished, as not listed i current patch notes. Last note on it from DEV was over powerful and needed more testing.

P.S.

"ECM
Target Date: December 4th - 60%
Status: Play Testing, Additional Feature Work
Notes: Working on balancing. Most likely will limit to specific Light/Medium Chassis for now (similar to how jump jets work)."

exactly the same issue.... had it, unequipped it and no longer available except in the head of the Raven.

[DodgerH2O]

Same issue. Purchased model with ECM and BAP placeholders to have ready for when implemented, can no longer put ECM anywhere except head which lacks slots. I had transferred the parts to my 4X, though.

Same issue on my Raven, unequipped it and now I cannot re-equip it.
