ECM

ECM or Electronic Counter-Measures is an activated ability available on all Alliance fighters you can pilot. When activated, ECM makes it impossible for enemy units to get a lock on you, reducing their accuracy by a significant margin. This is especially useful when shaving turrets off of Kurgen corvettes or capital ships. ECM will toggle off automatically after activation and become available again after a short period of time.

ECM does not apply to missiles. These can only be fooled using disposable "flares", which are limited in number. See Missiles for more details.
