As I have recently encountered ECM more in game and would like to take up using it myself, I have come across what I would call a small design issue.

The color of the multi spectral module and the ecm burst module are indestinguihsable, and also very close to the amarr module.

The caldari and gallente modules are so close in color you have to basically get info on the module to be able to figure out which one is which.

I suggest some fixing to this problem, as clearly the minmatar jamming modules are the only ones standing out clearly.

Suggestions

coloring the gallente one in a more grenish hue would make it more distinguishable from the caldari one
coloring the multispectral one as a 'rainbow' featuring the colors of all races would make it unmistakable.

As for the ECM burst I would suggest to change the icon to indicate the burst effect so to speak, I suck with graphichs and will leave it to someone else to figure out how a burst looks :D

I would appreciate some comments on this, is it worth moving this to the SM summit?

Ill state it once.

They already know these effects could be better just they really dont have the time.

Can't say anything about burst and multi's, but i have no problems telling the difference between the rest. And no, nothing should go into game to make ECM EASIER to use. :P

The problem as I see it is that the only one really standing out is the minmatar one, so maybe just change that to be closer to the other colors then to add to the confusion.
