FIrst suggestion:
If using ECM dogfighting with another ECM is a time waster IMO so I think in addition to what system hack already does if enemy ECM stuns you then just use system hack and it will stun him instead and do a combat reboot for you.
It would still have balance due to you still have to wait for the refresh so if you don’t want enemy hacking stuff and can afford a stun then it works both ways.
ECM is great ship and can take a beating if flown right but me personally I don’t do a lot of kills in it so it needs to be as much support as possible and I don’t think enemy ECM should focus other ECM like I said its just a waste of time like ENGI eclipsing other ENGI just waste of time.
This is just my outlook on it and I’m still learning but don’t see a problem with this suggestion as those that don’t use ECM should be fine with enemy ECM being stunned and team ECM being available where needed and those that do use it might understand that dogfighting other ECM is waste of time.
Second suggestion:
If you don’t like first then maybe another CPU MOD like proton wall only for ECM that does same as above.
Like I said I don’t think its ideal for ECM to attack other ECM.
Counter stun with combat reboot screams abuse right from the start lol, combat reboot only would do nice so the system hack isnt that much useless other than hacking drones and such, but only then when the ship gets hit with a stun the hack should be available to do that. Also engi is quite a nice time waster now that they have some sorts of gains from healing others i see them in every game a lot. As for the ECMs in general they are not damage dealers, you can forget that, they are the games saboteurs any damage buffs or similar will be a disaster.
An other idea: I think it would be cool, if the system hack would be able to disable every enemy missile in its range. Alternatively, it could hack missiles and nukes. Hacked missiles would lock onto your current target.

Feel free to start a thread on fighters then. I like all the classes but as of late I’ve been learning ECM and was thinking of this when in game so started the thread. As far as Command, especially with the new spec mod you have to earn is awesome, gunship awesome, tackler awesome but ECM is what I believe to be support only class. ENGI has all these bonuses and even drones but ECM basically only stuns you for a few seconds if even that. So a few more perks to get people away from using LRF in beacon matches would be great and so on and so forth blah blah blah…
Im just joking dont add the range and insta kill tho hahahaha ![:D](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/006j.png “:D”)
The system hack could use one more option extra tho and since theres a lot of stuns available, maybe adding combat reboot would be the best option, or something similar. Still, sometimes it seems we are reinventing the same stuff over again, id like to see something completely new but not gravi-lens OP kinda thing at first lol
well there are the new spec mod missions for limited ships. maybe we can do one for ecm too that has this effect. idk. I am thinking aloud and know that this probably wont happen but keep hope anyway. ![:D](<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/006j.png “:D”)
There are soo many options for this game and not enough manpower and time its insane xd
