RE: Four years without thrust

Simplicity is certainly a virtue.

Each level of ECM adds +6 MU to the effective range vs direct fire
weapons.
Each extra firecon negates one level of ECM.

PSB wise, a ship with more firecons has enough computing power to "burn"
through jamming.

Advanced sensors are used for detail scans, not to burn through jamming.
