At last! This is such a needed change, Even before the nano-nerf falcons were overpowered, since then it makes it impossible to chase down a falcon with fast support that is sat at 150-200k away jamming.
What other recon in game has a standard fit with no form of buffer? None, apart from the falcon.
Now with the change, I just hope that this will bring falcons into the 40-60k range to be 100% effective at jamming (with rigs) This will force them to maybe fit 2 large shield extenders like most other recons have to.
CCP, please consider ECM rigs in your balancing here.
Also how about introducing a rig for ECCM? There are very few options to make ECCM viable at the moment.

@ the people complaining about the falcon becoming a short-range brawler:
So, 54km base + 50% range from the "Long Distance Jamming"-skill @ lvl5 means you get 81km optimal. Oh my! Now you're so up close and personal, it's scary.
A Rapier has not more tank than a falcon, and the range on the webs is with 40km also only half the range of the "new" jammers. Additionally, painters have quite a short optimal range.
I'd say this is pretty much ballanced.
THIS!
80k optimal + faloff is way to much IMO, falcons should have to fight at the same ranges as all the other races recons, ie 40km or less. Make it 40k optimal with 20k Faloff pls.
Imagine a rapier / arazu / pilgrim that can web / point / neut at over 100k.. Overpowered right?
All these whines and cries about falcons having to fight up close are so funny, well they still won't have to fight as at close range as ANY other covert-recon, and will have the same EHP as a rapier.
Ever seen a rapier fitted with NO shield extenders or no Armor buffer (instead of the LSE for Armor gangs)... No, why? Because without them they are a wet paper bag without the proper fittings just like the falcon.

To satisfy all the whiners please give the falcon some extra missiles slots and an ROF bonus in line with other recons.
And reduce the effectiveness of ECM in falloff ranges please.
