Sounds good.
It'll mean that damp is not an 'I-Win' button anymore, but a weapon to use in a fleet where damping for example a battleship with your smaller ships will mean it can't shoot your battleships at range.
Recons should not be 'I-can-kill-a-battleship-with-impunity' ships, but either RECON ships or having a specific role in a fleet....
Sooo, you are saying a caldari recon perma jamming two ships is fine, but a gallente recon using the same amount of modules in damps shouldn't be able to disable two close range ships?

The difference is, the ECM nerf was compensated by the massive bonuses caldari EW ships got, arazu/lachesis/celestis got no such bonus.
Nerf damps on normal ships, fine. But give us 20% damp str per level like caldari recons do.
BUT, the EW ships have a significant additional disadvantage since they need to choose which racial jammers they want to fit. Damps have no such problem. Implement racial dampers, and you can have your bonus....
And, as I said, you can't use something being (in your opinion) overpowered as an excuse for not nerfing something else that more or less everyone agrees IS overpowered.
Note: I'm not saying jammers are or aren't overpowered. Just that it has absolutely no relevance when nerfing damps which clearly ARE overpowered!
Oh i agree damps needed a nerf, alliance tournament is a good example of how easily and effectively they can be used.
Thing is, specialized gallente ships get nerfed just as hard. You can't tell me that an Arazu or Lachesis was overpowered if compared to a falcon that is these days. Or for that matter a curse or pelgrim. Don't get me wrong, but from 60% effectiveness to 40% is a bit of a huge nerf. Not to mention that the locking time increase effect totaly gets lost when you even want close to 40% range reduction...
Also, this nerfing is done to bring ships in line with each other, comparable, etc. So saying that bringing up another race isn't a viable argument when discussing this is just total BS.
