Scorpion as long range Turret based ECM support, please. Add 1 or 2 Turrets and a bit Powergrid for large caliber Railguns, give it hybrid and ecm optimal range bonus and done, perfect Fleet BS.

A very quick post until we get chance to read over rest of the feedback later. These changes should be on sisi now. There is a known issue which will be resolved over the coming days with the falcon. It currently receives a missile RoF bonus and should be a hybrid damage bonus and does not receive its ECM capacitor bonus.
Anyone else thinking what im thinking right now?
3x Heavy Neutron Blaster
Coward Ops Cloacking
MWD
Warp Scrambler
4x Multispec ECM
LSE
2x Magstab
1x ECM Mod
5x Hobgoblin

Widow on Sisi
If the role must be short range BS with ECM, I think it is better to check the ECM bonus on the Widow.
Sisi:
Widow has 25% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per BO level -> 125% @ level 5 (rank 10 - 2,1M SP from level 4 to level5)
Rook and Falcon have 30% bonus per Recon level -> 150% @ level5 (rank 6 - 1,2M SP from level 4 to level5).
TQ:
Falcons/Rooks have the same Strength bonus of the Widow (20% per level).
5% more for the Widow ECM bonus (TQ 20% <-> Sisi 25%) it's not enough imo for balancing ECM role. This short range BS needs at least to be in line with Falcons and Rooks (it's a slow fat BS, close range but with less ECM strenght than a 5xtimes cheaper Falcon?)
Widow is a Blackops, its supposed to be crap.

The Fleet Scorpion is dead.
Congratulation on killing the most usefull and most fragile Battleship on the field by "enforcing its role". The role you, ccp, want it to fulfill is to be a long range jammer. Im perfectly fine with that. But lets look at its ECM Optimal with 2x Low Slot ECM mod and 1x ECM range Rig. The Racial Tech II Jammer has now 92km Optimal and around 80km Falloff. Why is this terrible?
Fleets fight at around 150km. Tempest, Apoc, Megathron and Rokh reach and surpass this range even only using their Optimal. They dont even use Falloff at this range. (Okay Tempest a bit but single digit). The new Scorp will be in deeeeeeep Falloff. The allready unreliable ECM will become so weak its not efficent anymore to use a Scorpion over anything else. Even the specialised Caldari Battleship Pilots will have to switch over to the expensive Rokhs to be of any use soon.
Even right now on Tq its difficult to jam a battleship. I use my Scorp to jam Sniper HACs most of the time because its just too inefficent to use ECM on hostile Battleships. Soon the chance to Jam even a Zealot with meager 13 Sensor Strength will be less then 30% in Falloff. Thats a joke.
I see three Options:
1) Scorpion stays long range ECM Plattfrom and gets a proper ECM Range Bonus of AT LEAST 20%. No Less.
2) Scorpion is compensated for ECM nerf by getting more Turrets, more Grid and a Hybrid Optimal Range Bonus. If ECM is mostly useless, let it be a secondary Sniper after the Rokh. Less Hitpoints but ECM as Tank.
3) Nerf it like stated. This will make Scorpion useless for fleets and anything else.
