 since you very kindly nerfed ecm beyond all recognition the blackbird and the scorpion are basically useless - even with their modifiers for ecm they are still rubbish at it - unless your some v experienced player pvp ecm usage is pretty limited, I suggest changing the stats / bonuses on both the blackbird and the scorpion so that they might yet have a role / use because as it stands caldair now have only 3 useful cruisers (as opposed to 4 with other races) and 2 bs (as opposed to 3 for other races)
id be interested in other ppls opinions about this - im not flaming i just think the nerf on ecm has adversely affected caldari players more than any other race - will this be balanced at some point?

The Blackbird is one of the best small gang PvP ships available and I also think one of the most underestimated. Aside from the ECM bonuses, it's got 6 mid-slots, the most of any T1 cruiser. The Caracal and the Celestis have 5 and all the rest have 4 or less. That's a ton of room for EW/tackling gear. I actually prefer to use my Blackbird in a heavy tackler role and I still love it even though i don't use the ECM bonus at all.
Also, good ECM != permajam. Even after the ECM nerf, you can jam ships sometimes, and that's often enough to turn the tides in your favor.
well i can completely agree with you there but it doesnt work well well for solo pvp at all - it doesnt have the dps needed to take down any half decent pie sure the ecm is fine against npc's but thats not really much help....
and i do appreciate wot some of u say about the ecm boosters in the lows and the rigs but cmon u fit rigs to a bb ur talking a serious hit on the bank balance if it goes pop.....(i have been playing all of 3 months) 20+m is alot to lose,

While at first it seemed the ECM nerf hit certain ships t== hard, after some testing i found that it's still a very powerful tool.
Scorpion:
4x cruise missile, as many nos as you can fit
2x sensor booster, Two gallente, Two caldari, One Minmatar and One Amarr racial jammer (all T2)
2x 1600mm plate
2x that lowslot ECM boost thing.
Rigs: none atm..wait untill they come down in price.
Use with medium sensor dampener drones for maximum effect in close combat.
thats an interesting setup to be sure, and i must admit when i had a scorp i was still training cruise missiles....and well torps suck balls might have to try that one
