Tell that to a corp which used 6 Scorps to take down a Thenatos. There were smaller ships involved in the battle to handle the fighters. The Scorp is what we used to tank, deal damage and scramble the carrier. 2.5 hours later it was gone for good. If you set the Scorp up right, it works for the situation.
What did you do, bore him to death, he had time to call in friends have lunch, take in a movie, check back, no sign of his friends? get back on the phone and say "wtf" where are you guys im getting attacked here...
Bottom line is you took him out because for 2 and a half hours nothing of note came to help him not because you had 6 scorps setup right.

4x cruise, 2x Heavy Nosf
1x SB, 4x Jammers (racial if you know), 2x Damps, 1x Tracking Disruptor
1x Best damn distortion amp you can find, and 3x PDU/CPR or a "tank" or even Fitting if needed.
This works decent for small scale engagements. I would never try to go solo with this unless I had to but for the most part its pretty solid. If the jammers get a cycle GREAT cause you are one lucky bastard, I have them there mainly for the off chance they actually migh work. The 2xdamp 1x TD works out pretty nice so you don't feel completely worthless when you can't get a single jam cycle.
I'm considering just going with 6x heavy nosf, super tank of doom, 4x pdu... And hoping someone calls me primary :\

I like to use the Scorpion in low sec for solo hunting smaller ships, ie frigate and cruiser classes (also battlecruisers if the player isn't much older than me).
4x Cruise
2x E500 heavy vamps
Named MWD
Inv Field
Large Shield Booster II
Large Shield Extender II
Named Sensor Booster x2
Named Web
20km Warp Disruptor
Named Power Diagnostic System x2
Damage Control
Ballistic Control
7 medium scout drones.
There's probably better solo setups, but this has worked for me very well. It's like taking a hammer to cr@ck a nut, but killing two year old players in their cruisers is rather satisfying. ;)

4x Cruise
2x Heavy Nos
5x ECM
1x LSB2
1x 800 Cap Injector
1x Sensor Booster (Or maybe a 6th ECM)
3x Distortion Amp
1x PDU
It has no tank at all, but 22-28 points of jamming strength isn't too much to laugh at.

I have a few set ups, but here is one:
4x Cruise Missile
2x Heavy Diminishing NOS (sometimes I fit a cloak device II depending on what I'm doing)
1x Warp Disrupter I
2x Sensor Booster II
5x Multispectral Jammer II
1x Medium Armor Rep II
1x 16mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
2x Armor Hardner (Thermic / Explosive)
The scorp is still a great ship if used in a gang. Even me out with one rifter can take down most ships. Solo pvp is still very possible, but you have to pick your targets and that's sometimes where the cloak comes in, handy for evading ships you know can kill a scorp.
If used with tackler like the Rifter I sometimes go out with it works a treat. Even getting in close 19km to use NOS & Scram is no problem, but watch for thos f'ing drones! They are your biggest threat IMO.

Scorp with a tackler, is definitely better than a scorp without a tackler. At least that way you have some damage....
Seriously though, yes, getting a rifter to tackle, and then gank with a BS is a good and time honoured tactic. Sadly almost any BS can do this better than the scorpion can these days.

Problem there is the Rifter is depending on the ECM of the scorp to stay alive which is where the scorp comes into its own.

4 t1 cruise lauchers
2 t1 350mm rails with antimatter
5 t1 warpcore scramblers
3 t1 sensor boosters
1 t1 LAR
2 1600mm plate
1 cheap named dmg control unit
This is what i use nowdays. It kills indies at lowsec gates without any trouble whatsoever (if you notice lots of people using mwds/abs you could swap one scrambler for a web, but i have never had to do this) and if you get jumped by a bear attack your ship is so cheap your wallet will hardly feel it lost something.
I used to fly propper ECM scorps (yes with racilas and all).
but...
Kali "fixed" that. This is the only use i have for Scorps nowdays.
EDIT: Working as intended indeed, Audri

Well even after Revelations and all the nerfs I still use my suicide scorp and it jamms just fine. Its rare that I cant hold 2-3 ships jammed:
High:
4 cruise, 2 heavy nos
Med:
1 sensor boost, 4 racials (each type), 3 multispec
Low:
4 signal dispersion amps
Note that I only use this in gangs not for solo pvp. My theory is that if you're going to play a specific role in a gang better do it right hmmm? May not agree with me but that's alright :)

I was wondering wether anyone would support the idea of making e-war mods high slot items. This way, you could have a good shield tank and still fulfill the ECM support role. Just an idea.

8 midslots for tank = omfg imba

Hurr, well obviously, the slots would have to be moved around some.

In my opinion, the Scorpion is useless right now. It sucks for PVE and it was so badly nerfed by the ECM changes that it is useless in PVP as well. I tried several semi-balance PVP builds and ended up losing the Scorps one after another in PVP combat. It is rather pathetic right now. I think it is the best-looking battleship... but I won't fly one until I can put one to some use.

It seems to me that with the bonuses it gets it's essentially the same for pvp now as it was back then. I mean, even when EW was king scorps died left and right in PvP because they were scary, and always called primary first.
Now, I don't personally fly the scorp in pvp, although I have the skills for it, but I do fly blackbirds and griffens and they both work fine with ECM. I don't see why the scorp should be different.
P.S. BURN THE NECROMANCER :P
