While I wish MS-1s work that way too, sadly they don't affect ECMs directly. ECMs affect the defense tokens at the same step where they can be used, at attack step 4 Spend Defense Tokens step. MS-1 effect is a critical effect so it resolves after, at the attack step 5 Resolve Damage step. Hence MS-1s can't exhaust ECMs before they can be used on that attack.

However you could place it on a light attacker say a CR90B and crit-willing you can force the target ship to exhaust it's ECM, thereby setting up for a heavier attacker to smack it later in the turn.

If only exhausting an exhausted upgrade would cause it to be discarded..

Its more a 1..2 punch like overload pulse and avenger or if you have a double arch weak arch hit the ECM with ms-1 then lay the pain on. I have seen a raddus list use a profundity to block movment and drop a cr-90 B to exsuast the ECM its more comboie you know follow up this shot with that shot or the weak arch first to trigger it then the hard hitter I should have explained what I ment by it more.
