I use my Falcon as a sneakier tackler with small fangs. Sneak up on someone, uncloak, jam and scramble then. Then have your bombers come in and blow the hell out of the target.

Too bad Bombers can't fly cloaked or it would be nice.
I like the idea of uncloaking near a gang and jam them, but scrambling within 10-20-30KM (depending if you invest on a faction disruptor) isn't the most
appealing thing to me.
Don't have to. The Falcon can approach close and target jam and warp scramble/web the target, holding the target until bombers come in. If you have a reasonable size bomber force (Manticores!), the target should be dead in a couple of volleyes. Recloak and hide before his friends come to save him. Guerilla tactics!
I'm not saying the Minmatar, Gallente or Caldari ones are perfect. I totally agree with the Curse and Pilgrim being stronger of them all. I'd enjoy the drone bonus on the Amarr ones most of all because I like drones alot now.

Derran... Curse have only 1300 base armor...
about 2-3k of armor can be stripped very fast by drones... but bss have a bit more...
I know how much it has. I memorize all ship stats so I am aware of what I can identify what I see and know what I am up against. A plate was no doubt on that ship though.

A bit more what? Armor or drones? And it isn't totally accurate. Ask Roland D'chain. His arbies drones took awhile to beat down my Falcon's shields that had no hardening but I had no booster equipped to bring them back up. It was my first sortie in my Falcon so I hadn't tweaked the setup at all.
I was using 2 ogres, hammerhead II and a Hobgoblin II on Gazon. Vexor pretty much has the same drone bay as any non-drone BS too but technically does more damage with them. I think I had about 5000 armor myself with the 1600mm plate I had. I'm assuming Gazon was armor tanked which is no doubt why he took so little armor damage. To be honest, I didn't even see how fast my cap was gone. It seemed like I just blinked and it was gone.

Well, The Pilgrim is weak to be honest, The strong part of the curse is the range bonus on the nos. And 6 med slots. I wouldn't call the pilgrim overpowered.
For me, I personally would not consider myself weak in a Pilgrim. If I had Amarr cruiser up to 5, I'd be flying the Pilgrim over the Falcon. I can do more damage with a Pilgrim using drones than I can with Falcon using missile. And this is coming from drone and missile specialist. 39.1M skillpoints and still counting.

Yes... cap is gone fast... even pilgrim with its 3 nosfs can do it fast... and curse has 5... But you were using drones against curse, so cap was important for you only for armor repairing... and when it comes to tanking, curse/pilgrim cant challenge well-fitted bs... just because of its ammount of armor/shield hps...
Define well fitted.
The BS would need cap to rep. The Curse steals the cap it needs to rep. Plus its weapons, if you equip any, can be missiles which don't use any and drones which don't use any.
For me, it is the ideal ship. I yearn for the day when there is a missile hardpoint gallente drone ship. Too bad the arbitrator is so damn thin and ugly.
