Alright, after using both of these ships for quite awhile in pvp i must say the ECM nerf didn't hit them as bad as some people would say but they could use a little boost nonetheless.
Falcon
Awesome ship to fly, looks cool, sneaky, nice jamming capabilities. However, near-zero damage. In order to survive in a pvp gang situation you are pretty much obliged to fit a 1600mm plate and a cap battery and or AB/MWD, which in turn limits you to two small launchers or two small railguns and 4 or 5 jammers at most.
It is also not very effective as a sneak tackler because a scram takes up a valuable midslot and too much cap (when using 20k) - you either lose alot of jamming capabilities in the form of 5 -> 4 jammers, speed in the form of yes/no to AB/MWD or durability as in yes or no to cap battery.
Proposal... Give it an extra midslot..will make it more versatile and more mobile.
Rook
Almost as awesome. Okay damage, good jamming capabilities, but limited survival unless you give up one SDA for a 1600 plate in lows. An extra mid would make it too overpowered as an ECM boat, so i propose one of the following two modifications..:
- Give it a 50 M3 drone bay to allow for one volley of medium drones, no spares, giving it damage more on par with the other races' force recons.
- Give it an extra lowslot to allow people to choose between slightly more ECM strength (a third SDA) or better survivability (a plate or damage control).
One of the things that bothers me most about these two, is that they need to use all their mid- and lowslots to be effective - There is absolutely no way one of these coudl fit a tank and still be effective in their role, as opposed to the Amarr and Gallente recons which can fit a pretty decent tank. I don't mind it staying like that, but a little more versatility wouldn't hurt, hence this proposal.

For recon ships i consider one repper and one resist mod a tank - and neither the falcon or the rook can fit any of them. I agree the slot boost would take it out of line of the rest (all force recons have 14 slots, all combat recons have 15), but it would make up for the nerfed-ness of ECM.

there is nothing wrong with the falcon.
I've had my alt using one very effectively for the last 2+ months.
awesome ship!
In what setup..it's definetly nice, but to live any decent amount of time you need a plate, to be able to durably jam people you need a cap battery and to be mobile you need an AB / MWD. Maybe one scram and voila..only 4 slots left for ECM :/

This has got to be a joke, right?
Nope. Extender + hardener is 2 of 7 midslots. Add ab/mwd, possible sensorbooster and voila, 3 slots left for ewar.
