As far as the ECM goes... perhaps it would be better if the ECM, instead of activating for a set time when you press E, just activates for as long as you hold E. Cheap missiles have a high probability of being disabled or destroyed by the ECM in a short period of time. More expensive missiles can last a longer time.

Do missiles get destroyed sooner at close range than far away?
If not: shouldn't they?

Asp and Fer-de-Lance tend to fuel-inject right at you (me anyway)
and either ram or fire a missile at the last moment. If the time
it takes to destroy a missile were somehow proportional with the
(log or sqrt of) the distance you could still get those.

I think they do.
far away missiles pop after a second, those fired at close range detonate instantly.
(fun to see a pirate fleet attack an escorted trader with missiles, them use ECM) pretty.

They certainly should in Winston’s new model – inverse square would make sense.
