The ECM module follows the same formula for range as all other modules that have a falloff mechanic:


:<math> \displaystyle \text{Jam strength} = \text{Base} \times 0.5^{\Large \left( \frac{\max(0,\ \text{Distance} - \text{Optimal})}{\text{Falloff}} \right)^2 } </math>
:<math> \displaystyle \text{Jam strength} = \text{Base} \times 0.5^{ \left( \frac{\max(0,\ \text{Distance} - \text{Optimal})}{\text{Falloff}} \right)^2 } </math>


Going slightly beyond your optimal is not a problem but the effectiveness of ECM will degrade more rapidly as you go further away as seen in the table below.

Here is an example:
let's assume your ECM module has a 50 km range and a 40km falloff. When your target is within optimal range you have a 20% chance to jam them per cycle of your modules.

* If your target is 50 km away you will have the full 20% chance to jam
