There are 3 main types of ECM modules:

'''NOTE: Optimal Range and Falloff of all ECM modules have been reduced by 10% in RETRIBUTION. The Blackbird, Tengu (with Obfuscation Manifold) and Scorpion get range buffs which ~~more than~~ offset this nerf. The Blackbird and Tengu getting a ~~12.5% gain for a net gain~~ of 2.5% and the Scorpion a 25% buff ~~for a net gain of 15%~~. Note, the Griffin ~~has no~~ range ~~buff so it~~ will lose 10% based on the module nerf. Retribution also brings ~~a skill~~ that ~~counters~~ ECM. Pilots can now train four racial skills that improve their sensor strength by 5% per level making your chance to jam lower (see section on calculating jam probability) if the skill ~~is trained~~ for the ship they are currently piloting.

'''NOTE: Optimal Range and Falloff of all ECM modules have been reduced by 10% in RETRIBUTION. The Blackbird, Tengu (with Obfuscation Manifold) and Scorpion get range buffs which offset this nerf more or less. The net change is that the Blackbird and Tengu getting a slight range nerf of 3.75% and the Scorpion a slight 2.5% buff. Note: the Griffin and all other ships that don't get a range bonus will lose 10% based on the module nerf. Retribution also brings skills that now counter ECM. Pilots can now train four racial skills that improve their sensor strength by 5% per level making your chance to jam lower (see section on calculating jam probability) if the skill for the ship they are currently piloting is trained up.

*ECM Multispectral Jammers - These modules are reasonably effective on all targets with a high capacitor cost. These modules have a significantly lower range and strength than racial jammers.
