I went mining yesterday in my hulk mining away at some veld.
Next thing i see a fleet of 1 orca and 5 falcons (each fitted with 2 x t2 mining lazers), these falcons then procceeded to outmine my hulk.
this made me a sad, pls nerf falcons & remove their turret hardpoints.

being more serious though the falcon is one of the few ships that does what it's supposed to do well. I think all it needs is say 1 mid swapped for low or the 20% jam strength changed to 15% and it would be more than enough of a nerf. Just don't change it away from doing ecm that is it's job.
Though tbh it's more of a case of the other recons not doing their job of ewar properly though this is true of a lot of ships. For example lets have a look at my favorite race minmatar which while it works very well I sometime wonder wth ccp are thinking when they design our ships.
- our recons/ewar support are good at tackling and solo (ewar != tackle and support != solo)
- our heavy assault ship is good at running away but has poor dps (heavy assault, what do you imagine when you hear those words)
- Our haulers are good at tanking but poor at hauling (except the minmatar freighter which is worst at tanking)
- The ship that has the best alpha out of the race that specializes in alpha does not get any bonuses to alpha causing it to be the 2nd best alpha ship in the game (if you look at mael's ship stats it seems to be a sniper yet it's bonuses are more aimed at a close up small gang tank/dps ship)
- Minmatar ceptors (the fastest ships of the fastest race) are the heaviest and have up to a 0.21% speed advantage over amarr yet our non nanoable bs's have up to 20% faster speed than the next fastest ship.
- Out of the logistics cruisers ours repairs tie the least hp/sec yet when we get to carriers ours repairs the most.
Sorry for minor derail but point is falcon is one of the few ships that does what it's supposed to do and does it well. The best option would be to make other ships that are supposed to do ewar support actually do ewar support. Or if you need to nerf it do so but for the love of god don't try and change it into something it's not supposed to be or kill the last of the ewar ships in game.

Originally by: AnmmnA Why those people dont cry when an Arazu scramble him at 70 Km ? Or Rapier freeze their ship to 0.1 m/s ?. Or Curse perma-dry your capacitor ?
Just like to point out curse does jack all to stop proj/missile/drone users, rapier with 6 webs can only slow a ship to 9.6% of it's max speed (slightly better than 1 old web). Also you only mentioned the secondary bonus not the actual ewar bonus (TP, TD, SD).
