Added note regarding the ineffectiveness of firing multiple ECMs at a target.

The ECM torpedo fires and explodes like a nuke. But instead of physical damage, a ship hit by an ECM blast will lose half of its maximum shield strength, AND its shield frequencies will be severely damaged, making beams much more effective against them.

Additional Note

An ECM fired at a ship that already has its shields equal to or below half strength will have no effect. Should either shield arc be over 50% strength; that arc will be reduced to 50%, however the other shield arc will remain the same.

Firing two ECM's at an enemy vessel does not reduce the shield strength to 0, neither will it reduce the shield strength to 25%. Only the first ECM will have any effect, reducing enemy shield strength to 50%. The second ECM will have no effect on shield strength.
