I should say that me and my friend tested one interesting thing. Rook + Fleet Command Ship + Covert Ops. They are hanging at the same point Rook has ECCM and Projected ECCM and ECCMs itself and projects ECCM on CS, and then Cov Ops launches probes and tried to scan down Rook or Command Ship, and it was impossible and probes were placed idealy around CS and Rook. So we just get invulnerable Command Ship that gives bonuses to gang and sits on a spot with Rook.
Excellent use of the mechanic.

You really should look this stuff up before arguing for an entire thread :P

I didn't know where to look as the description doesn't mention this bonus (It really should, this is a HUGE reason to fit this module, its actually better than the primary reason).
That was why I *argued*, I expected better from you guys, you usually hit the nail on the head ;0
No one else did either mind you and look at some of the looney arsed replies :)
Thanks anyway for keeping it on my mind so I actually got the answer.

Props on a insightful and useful way of adapting this mechanic.

Sounds like a big nasty screw up type bug to me:
ECCM description:
Originally by: "description"
A secondary electronic array that provides a significant boost to sensor strength for a short time.
Penalty: Using more than one type of this module or similar modules that affect the same attribute on the ship will be penalized.
Nothing here about reducing your ships signature radius.
So, either this module is buggy and needs fixing or, the people saying ECCM has a use outside of trying to up the odds in your favor vs an ECM ship are smoking something.
Which is it?
Uncertain which forum to post to, please move it this is the wrong one.
Your chance of beign probed is linked to your signature adn sensor strenght. Just go and read the original blog from the now looong done changes to probing.
So this modules does work as intended. It raises your sensor strenghts so reducing your chance of being probed.

ECCM on a battleship is going to have little to no effect. Try it on a logistics ship. They're fairly difficult to probe out now. Damned near impossible when they have ECCM fitted and activated.
the scimitar with ECCM is the harderst ship to probe in game. In fact I can say .. impossible.

If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

Actually the Buzzard with ECCM is the hardest ship to scan out. It is not impossible though. It requires maxed or nearly maxed skills and kit but it is possible. All of the Cov-ops are harder to find than the logistics ships.

Gives me an idea given the ECM strength boost maybe scimis should fit 2x ECCM and drop the cloak.
