Considering that 3 of the top 6 ships with the most kills (based on eve-kill.net) are Caldari, it is high time that something is done to curb their dominance of the game. I was beginning to think that everyone in CCP were Caldari and Amarr.
The changes are a little weird, but I like how CCP always thinks outside the box.

And this kids, concludes todays lesson on why you should never train up FOTM ships/modules, but rather instead train what you enjoy flying.

The reason Falcons are primaried is because they are so crippling. So how about make it so it is not a threat so great that it must be killed first.
Since we are thinking outside the box why not change ECM completely. Instead of it being chanced based where it completely prevents a ship from shooting. Make it hit every time, but make it 60% effective (like webs) to the DPS of the ship (so you lose 60% of your dps). Then reduce the range so it is in line with Webs/Neuts. The value of the Falcons will still be nice as it can damp the DPS of 1-2 larger ships yet it won't be so crippling where it will be automatic primary.

With the current suggested changes the Falcon will still have a 150km range, but at 50% effectiveness. So instead of jamming 4 ships you will jam 2 ships. The Falcon won't be as popular as before, but they will definitely still be used. This really puts it more in line to the pre speed nerf days where a standard Vaga went 6km/s. After the speed nerf the distance to reach the Falcon was effectively doubled. It still takes as long to reach, but they are not only half as strong (from 150km).
IMHO, I think the changes are more then fair and the Falcon will still be used more then any other Recon. I do find the second option of a close range Falcon and long range Rook to be pretty interesting, but I know the Falcon pilots hate that idea.

The Rapier with 3 e-war mods is 100% effective against 3 targets. The Falcon with 3 ECM mods is still not 100% effective against 1 target.
The Rapier is 100 effective in reducing speed by 60%. A Falcon has a 98% in 100% stopping someone from targeting. If you want to be fair lets make the Falcon work 100% of the time but be only 60% effective. So you will only take 40% damage when you jam a ship. And lets drop your range to under 40km also. Now we are fair.
Or better yet, lets switch it. I will take webs that work 95% of the time from a distance of 170km and have it reduce a ships speed to ZERO. I can then web up to 4 ships to 0 speed. You then can have your ECM hit 100% of the time, at a 40km max range, and have it be only 60% effective (so the ship still does 40% dps). You want to trade? I am sure the ENTIRE Matar race would switch with you.
