Yes. I understood that. The original formula in More Thrust is 1D6 (+2
for
Superior scanners) -1D6 for ECM = result on the sensor table. As I see
it
your version makes ECM far less powerful and basic sensors more capable
than before. I still don't see it as an improvement to the ECM... since
your formula generally gives higher results on the sensor table.
