My only gripe with RSD is the best standard named is WAY better fitting and same effect as the tech2.
Pb
You might notice that that's not the only module where best named = t2 with better fittings. Maybe Signal Suppression should only work on t2 like the specs for guns.
On the other hand t2 damps use to much cap for the dedicated recons. I still think the best balance would be a cap use bonus on the dedicated ships and more cap/s on the modules.

1) Cap use..I mean..SERIOUSLY?
Not for BS sized ships of course, but running enough damps on a cruiser sized ship (aka dedicated recons) is a strain on the cap. That is why I proposed to serious up the cap usage and give the dedicated recons a cap use role bonus. Should be able to disable the dampcurse and dampdomi.
As speed tanking is popular nowadays many ships have the chance to underrun the lock range or move out of scrambler (and disruptor) range as the dedicated ships arent really fast, an mwd is another strain on the cap and the dps is so poor that there is plenty time to try to flee.

3) A sucessful ECM also only "delays" the lock. For 20 secs. And if damps would only "delay" locks they would actually be underpowered. The problem is that you will be outside your locking range if the dampener halfway knows what he is doing.
3) Wrong. ECM does not only delay the lock, it breaks it. Successful ECM at any range = breaking lock. Successful damp at close range = not breaking a lock, just delaying it (if target does not already have a lock)
And there is a real problem that you can combine this two method that easily. Breaking the lock and slowing down relock is pretty evil. Dampdomi scooping drones has the same effect here as has successful ECM.
Many small fights are also close quarter where a sensorboosted ship gets first lock and the dampner has to establish range to get the lock dropped. In long range fights the damp effect is chance based like ECM.
So damps are only overpowered on the non-dedicated ships anyway.

The range performance of damps is a problem.
I don't see a problem with an unrigged max optimal of 45km. 75% chance to work at 90km. And it isn't running at 75% effectivity. It fails every 4th cycle.
(frequency modulation/long distance jamming@lvl5)
Non-dedicated ECM ships are only a little better in performance there, but a Falcon with the 2 skills has an optimal of 162km.
Again the problem is the non-dedicated RSD strength. The dedicated ships lack compared to all other ships same size and bigger fitting the damps.

if every member of your gang fits 1 RSD and your opponent doesnt, you'll win the fight - its the new ECM.
Only if you outnumber them and manage to distribute the RSD so that no more than 3 are on a single target (for best effect). A single damp isn't that much help at all and bringing bigger gangs always raises your chances.
They are not that overpowered as the ECM was when every ship could use them with good effect.
