Hi all,

Looking at the rules in Rigger 2, I came across The Electronic Deception
(ED) and Counter Deception (ECD) rules. This seems to me to be the creation
of extra rules, for extra rules sake, as ED and ECD are a part of many
ECM/ECCM systems. As ED is usually a lower power, more passive way of
spoofing the enemy, perhaps a better way to carry out the ED tests would be
to take half the ECM rating as the equivalent of the ED level, and the same
for ECM/ECD.

If a player wanted to upgrade their ED gear specifically, without improving
their ECM system, they could pay the costs listed in Rigger 2 for ED gear,
and get the level of the gear in extra dice.

Thoughts anybody?
