You know, I find all these abstruse arguments about the proper way to factor ECM and sensors to be much less interesting than the idea of having several different types or categories of sensors and ECM just like cloaking. So you can be really good at one or a few but not necessarily good at ALL of them. Look at what we have today -- Radar (radio wavelengths), microwave (near visible light but not quite), visible light (laser/lidar)... they all behave differently and have their advantages/disadvantages. Maybe there's an advantage to x-ray sensors? Countermeasures for each would be very different, of course. I'm sure that nebulae would have different effects on these various types of sensors, too. That would be a good way to make the game more interesting.

Decoys and chaff would be nice, too. I hope we can get MM to include those in SE V combat.
