@Maethendias, please respect the profanity filter.
WRT ECM: Alex is aware, its going down some next version. This version, if the player wants to contest it against remnants they have a few options. Gunnery Officered Frigates give 8% each (which do extremely well against remnants/endgame fleets. Even unled frigates do well against remnants as long as they have some speed (unstable injector, nav bonus). The player gets the choice of Automated Ships, which could either be a super battleship or a pile of Gunnery+EWM frigates for the ECM, or an extra hullmod from special modifications: ECM can be built in, bringing gunnery frigates to 10% and giving other ships decent bonuses.
Its not really ideal to be spending so many story points on ECM... but its not impossible either, and a 20% range penalty to the enemy makes those fights a LOT easier.
