Mmm. I ran across a comment on this, somewhere on the net. I can't find
it
again, however. is the author of said comment on this list, perchance?

The general drift was that the line "During it's activation, an EW unit
may elect to have it's equipment either ACTIVE or INACTIVE; if it's
systems are 'active' then the unit gets three EW markets placed by it in
a
stack." etc.

Since there seems to be no penalty to having your EW active at all times
(?), the suggestion was made to make choosing 'active EW' an action.

Is this what is commonly played? Or not? Are there any disadvantages to
having EW active?

Eeek! All in one action? this sounds truly devastating?
