Any visual sensor, organic or inorganic, still measures light in the same
way. Light is reflected off of a surface and strikes the retina of an eye,
or the lens of a visual recording device. In either instance, the light that
is reflected is the same regardless of what is "seeing" the light. Thus, the
easiest comparison of a visual sensor ECM I can think of is that of the
visual cloak you see in the Predator movies. Regardless of if I see it with
my eyes, or via a camera, I still see the same thing, or rather don't see
it. Thus, to answer your question, yes, a visual ECM works to foil both
organic and inorganic "sight". So, from a game standpoint, a character would
have to make a cognition or search, depending on if they suspect you're
near, against the ECM sensor's rating. And an inorganic visual sensor would
be an opposed roll of its sensor rating versus yours.

Subject: [HOE] A Junker question

Hi guys, I'm new here, but I had possibly a silly question. I'm starting a 
HOE game and my marshal has made what I think is a bit of a silly ruling. I 
was curious if anyone had something close to an official ruling on visual 
sensor ECM, and if it will work on organic sight, or just inorganic visual 
sensors? I've already checked the accumulated rulings, and could find 
nothing on this one. Thanks in advance people. And if Shane and everyone 
else responsible is watching, while I may not have learned about your game 
until after you stopped publishing, it is now one of my favorite games, 
even if the combat is klunky. Kudos to you all.
