Some comments from a 6+ years 0.0 pvper that according to newest forum intel is no real pvper:
Scorpion -Caldari Ships are usually long range ships. The Scorpion has thus a tradition of beeing used in long range Fleet Warfare as ECM support. Taking that role away and turning it into a short range ship makes about zero sense. The more logical chang would focus the Scorps role to long Range Fleet Warfare by giving it 6 Turret Slots and an optimal range bonus to hybrids and ECM systems:
Scorpion - Fleet Warfare - 10% Bonus in optimal range of Hybrid Turrets per level - 20% Bonus in optimal range of ECM Jammers per level +2 Turrets + Grid
Falcon The T2 Cruisers of Caldari are all very long ranged. The Eagle has about 80% more maximum range then the Zealot or Muninn. The Cerberus reaches 250km with heavy missiles, which fly at very fast speeds. The logical conclusion is, that Caldari Recons should also have longer ranges then other recons. Thus i agree with the latest changes to make the Falcon the long range mediocre strenght ECM Sniper with optimal range bonus to ecm and hybrids. It shoud get a bit more grid though! Its very difficult to fit 200mm Rails to it right now while maintaing a decent buffer or mwd.
Rook To step out of the Falcons Shadow, the Rook should be overall stronger then the Falcon. It needs Dps, it needs staying power. The recent changes turning it into a closer range "brawler" are fine with me, it will rival the curse now for the best solo pvp recon but adding to this it will propably be the best roaming T2 Cruiser next to Sniper Hacs, overshadowing its Combat Recon Brothers. A minor Grid boost of +25MW is needed to fit a decent set of items, though. Right now its impossible to fit 5x HML MWD and a Shield extender at the same time. This holds true for the other Recons, ofc. So i guess its balanced fitting wise ^^

This Topic somehow got derailed into a whine about caldari ships beeing worthless, which is not what this Topic is about. Please try to give ideas of how to keep ecm ships viable instead. This would make the Topic much smaller and much more constructive.
My Idea is still: Scorpion +2 Turrets + Range Bonus for ECM and Hybrids. There it is, "Support Fleet Sniper with ECM".
