I have been in over a thousand games and I would like to make a suggestion on ECM.

For Light/Scouts:

ECM is a very important piece of equipment for scouting. A month ago I was slaughtering scouts left and right with LRMs so there needs to be help so that scout can actually scout. ECM provides that. But in its Current form it is very OP. My sugeestion for 35 ton or lower is this.

Keep the weight/tons the same for the ECM but remove the Umbrella effect.
Streak missile systems on an ECM equiped Mech do not function while it is active mode but will in Jamming mode.
Allow all scouts to carry this version of equipment.

For medium, heavy, and Assault:

Include the Umbrella Protection out to 100m
Streak missile on an ECM equiped Mech do not function while it is active mode but will in Jamming.
Have the ECM equipment Cost 6-8 tons and several million C-bills.
Allow most if not all Mechs to have this.

What does this do for the game. It provides the cover scouts need to do their jobs without making 2 models the go-to Streak assassins they have become. It also allows larger mechs to have a significant team-oriented piece of equipment but at a large cost to their own damage output.
