In my view non-ecm equipped scout mechs are not viable currently. It is difficult in Light vs Light combat to compete with streak enable ECM equipped mechs who can match speed and fire power.

If the ECM module was increased significant in weight and addition crit slot this would be more in line with significant ability that ECM provides. This would make ECM equipped light mechs at a significant disadvantage to non-ecm mechs in either speed or firepower which would even the field.

For a larger mech like an Atlas this would cause either a slight downgrade in firepower or slight reduction in speed / heat efficiency to maintain same weapon loadout making other Atlas variants have a viable role for pure DPS.

Give it a thought. The current 1.5ton / 2 slots required for ECM is really a non factor to mech builds.

The devs have said they will never change wight or crits space of equipment because it would make some canon builds impossible. I say **** that the canon builds are **** anyway.
