I'm not sure what to fit on my falcon, specifically which jammers. I'm also looking to get some general advice on this ship in small gang pvp. Thanks in advance.

My inner Loki compels me to respond with this:
Fit what you think makes sense at the time. Then when you get blown up, try to figure out what was the cause of your getting blown up.
The advice I've been receiving is conflicting - some folks saying they've only ever used it at 100km or less, others saying that 280km bookmarks are essential (which means you have the home ground advantage) to evade snipers.
Some folks swear by multispecs, others say to fit Amarr, Gallente and Caldari jammers and just rely on Minmatar sensor strength being very low.
I would also point out from personal experience that attempting to jam a ship when you don't have very good jamming strength will lead you to use more jammers on that ship to be successful, which means you're less useful in the engagement.
One last piece of advice: get another stealth capable ship with similar characteristics to the Falcon and get some practice in sneaking out of interdictor bubbles on gates. You can lose 5 to 10 stealth bombers for the price of a Falcon.
I don't fly a Falcon, but I'm training up for one myself and trying to listen to as much advice as I can get.

If in doubt, fit 1 of each.
My mids are: MWD, unscripted sensor booster, 1 of each type of jammer My lows are: 3x signal distort amps

Standard falcon jam flavours if you don't have previous target intel;
Mids = 10MN MWD II, Sensor Booster II(both scripts), 1 Amarr, 2 Caldari, 1 Gallente, 1 Minmatar. Lows = 3 Signal Distortion Amplifier II.
So one of each racial and one extra caldari as if any other falcons appear on the field your gang will expect you to nullify it's effect. It's much faster for a falcon to lock and jam another falcon that it is for an inty/vaga to chase it away.
Pro-tip for falconry; make hundreds of bookmarks. Falcons only become the 'invincible' ships everyone whinges about with proper preparation and practice. __________________________________________

Haven't flown a Falcon in ages but I remember liked;
Mids: 6x racials. MWD Lows: 2 SDA's. 1 x Istab. (Saved my bacon a number of times)
Rigs: Lock range rig, ECM optimal.
Agility got boosted recently so I doubt I'd use an Istab today. Anyway, I prefer not using a SB in your mids as a rig or signal amplifier in a good gang will get you 200k range anyway. For fleetwork you'd obviously want a Sensorbooster but then I wouldn't take a Falcon for that.

Get a friend who can work an EOS properly. Then you'll have some fun. -- DEVS get multiple CPUs/Cores per system and all will be forgiven.

In low sec with bookmarks I like mine with an ECCM instead of a mwd. Nice way to keep jamming when you miss your jam on the hostile falcon.

I'd take the Sensor booster of the MWD personally, you should always be 150-200k away from the fight, and be ready to warp out in case **** hit the fan. Also. FALCON PUNCH! --- This forum is problematic.

Oh god! Not you too?! I thought you were one of the few people who fought duels still and honored ransoms! But you say you use a falcon...
Say it ain't so joe! Say it ain't so! Signatures are annoying...kinda like me. |
