Damps only reduce lock range of a ship to autocannon/blaster range. Thus they're useless against anything but long range ships.

No, they are great unless you are daft enough to use them and then fly into a range the ship can lock you.

You can "perma damp" a ships lock range or even "perma TD" its gun range and in some cases "perma web" a ship to a range they are utterly ineffective against you.

Cos they cannot lock you if you are using damps and keep your range, or hit you at your range due to the TD or again get close enough to hit you if they are webbed, while you can sit back in any of the recons who use those systems and chew through them.

These are gaurenteed effects and tactics that cannot ever fail in the ships that use thems optimals if those ships are used correctly, they are true "perma" effects not the exhagerations of ppl who got ganked by a gang with a falcon in it.

Now with the falcons range nerf along with its str nerf because of the SDA nerf they are going to fail a LOT of jams and on even more ships than they do now as they can only actually "perma" jam ships with lower sig str than they have jam str, and those are very few now let alone after the SDA gimp.
