I don't see nothing wrong with them. I just remembered the Establishment dumped Hera (Nyx) on my face using a Falcon once. Definite brown trousers moment. Ask Amarr players what they think of the Pilgrim for example. New siggeh required!

Maximillian Dragonard	Posted - 2007.11.26 12:38:00 - [5] yeah, price blipped up pretty hard when ccp upped the bonus to 20% to str/recon level (woot!)... and to the OP, for a dedicated ECM pilot, the falcon is ____________________ EWAR... love it or hate it.... learn to deal with it!

Ishina Fel Caldari Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:31:00 - [9] The falcon is very good at what it does, and that is jamming. The falcon is not good at anything else, including (but not limited to): killing ships, killing shuttles, killing pods, hurting a fly, hauling, nanoing, tanking, inspiring fear, solo-play, mining and mission running. But man, does it make a mean jammer
Wardeneo	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:33:00 - [10] aahhhh ok so any 1's oppinion on what cov ops recon ship is the best? wardeneo

Sokratesz Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:35:00 - [12] ..And its going to be alot meaner now that it gets the +20%/lvl bonus instead of +10% with trinity Sig removed for the third time, inappropriate content.

Rhino Phillips	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:49:00 - [13] Falcon is quite good. With racials you are sitting about 150+- km from actual fight and you have power to put 2-4 (7 if youre lucky bastard) ships out of fight for at least 20s. Just dont expect to last long if someone catches you... even with 1600 plate in one low its going down pretty fast and tanking isnt an option. As someone already said here , jamming is the only thing this ship can do and wasting even one mid slot for tank is misuse of the ship.
YourStuff Thanks4It	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:52:00 - [14] Originally by: Wardeneo Edited by: Wardeneo on 26/11/2007 13:44:24 aahhhh ok so any 1's oppinion on what cov ops recon ship is the best? i personaly like the gellente ones because i like the idea of scrammin some1 up 2 48km away :p and u can damp even the longest range ships down under ur scram range so u can orbit em at 40-45km and damp em 2 under 40km so u dont get touched :) wardeneo You can do alot further than 48km. Domi Warp Disrupter Recon 5 Overload Gang bonuses Win.
Wardeneo	Posted - 2007.11.26 13:58:00 - [15] so with all that whats the max range?
Akat Slacker Industries	Posted - 2007.11.26 14:21:00 - [16] Edited by: Akat on 26/11/2007 14:23:36 Originally by: Sokratesz ..And its going to be alot meaner now that it gets the +20%/lvl bonus instead of +10% with trinity While true and very welcome, the only problem I have is there won't be much reason to fly the rook. Aside from the rook's points which aren't very useful at +150km, the falcon will become a rook that just happens to warp around cloaked. I would rather see a "slight" increase to ecm strength to bring the falcon up to par with the rook's current jamming power as opposed to giving it the same bonus. Originally by: Wardeneo so with all that whats the max range? With decent skills (lvl 4) its effective to 150km, not counting falloff. Add rigs to extend range, and you get a whole new type of animal.

Aye true, but the rook is getting a third low, too, giving it the 1600 plate option. It could really do with more HP or a missile velocity bonus to make up for the range thing.

Waxau Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2007.11.26 18:10:00 - [18] Lol - Falcon is damn good for those who know how to use it. I have many a corp mate who worship the rook over the falcon. But despite their arguements, evidence and opinions, i still go with the falcon prepatch, and most certainly after patch. The true death of an ECM pilot is that of being called primary, or even more so - The opposition knowing you have ECM support. Thus the cloak is your life saver. You can warp into battle at 100km....wait for it all to quiet down, their ecm to reveal themselves, and BAM - Jam their ecm. Falcon tbh is a god at counter-jamming. Just fit 3 caldari ecm, and the rest min/gal. Or even travelling with loot in ure hold (faction etc). If someone locks you and attacks, just jam and fly off. Ive only ever lost 2 falcons. 1 was to a friendly thanatos wanting to test his fighters on me (after i had cyno'd him in...) and he instapopped me. The other by being impatient and double tapping the cloak. Lag got the better, and instantly cloaked and decloaked. Wasnt nice :( But as for it being a good force recon...Its one of the best for small gangs. And one of the best for larger gangs. The ability to knock out multiple ships many call overpowered, but at the end of the day, your survivability is luck based. And thats all you can do too. So yes - theyre awesome :P
Xanos Blackpaw Amarr The Firestorm Elite	Posted - 2007.11.26 18:10:00 - [19] well i will get one sooner or later and i think my main task with it would be moveing small amounts of cargo to and from 0.0 stations... Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi".
Tarnag VersaTech Interstellar Ltd. SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.26 18:56:00 - [20] Originally by: Wardeneo and u can damp even the longest range ships down under ur scram range so u can orbit em at 40-45km and damp em 2 under 40km so u dont get touched :) wardeneo but the other side of it is jamming that super tanked megathron that is chewing your gang mates up so you can all survive, not just you.

Hugh Ruka Caldari Exploratio et Industria Morispatia	Posted - 2007.11.26 20:47:00 - [21] Edited by: Hugh Ruka on 26/11/2007 20:47:47 bought one for 50m isk, sold for 75. should have waited a bit longer :-(( these will be the hottest selling ships after Kali 3 - invention heaven ?

Gaogan Gallente Solar Storm Sev3rance	Posted - 2007.11.26 21:09:00 - [22] After trinity there will be 9 frigates in game with the same scram range bonus, making the gallente recons not nearly as special. Combine with the damp nerf and you're better off bringing just about anything else.
Menf Seraphin Technologies Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.11.26 21:27:00 - [23] the falcon is good in what it used to be its just the way how you use them its no ship for stay uncloaked and jam like hell... like an scorp or rook the falcon is more for emergency jams...uncloak if something need to be jammed...throw in all you have and cloak again if you stay uncloaked its a question of time you will be target of several vagabonds or long-range-ships _____________________________________________ Some players allready noticed.. "If you SEE me, its allready too late..."

DeadDuck Amarr Amarr Border Defense Consortium Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.26 22:55:00 - [27] Yeah Falcons suck.. what is the purpose of having a ship capable of warping cloack and jam your opponent to oblivion ????
NateX Singularity. Talon Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.26 22:59:00 - [28] uncloak 100 km above fight - jam x ships - recloak - warp to your safespot 100 km below fight - repeat
Yoko Lee	Posted - 2007.11.26 23:07:00 - [29] I use the falcon for small gang (low sec). work really nice for me and my gang; its just, for me, the better recon for gang. I never lose my falcon. I love this ship and i never use (or a little) my rook, too much important for me to be cloack
Cailais Amarr W A R	Posted - 2007.11.26 23:26:00 - [30] Originally by: Wardeneo Edited by: Wardeneo on 26/11/2007 12:02:18 Edited by: Wardeneo on 26/11/2007 12:01:07 is the falcon actually good for anything? coz all the other fprce recons seem so much better ... gellente 48km scram range, minmitar, 40km web range so are they good at anything? wardeneo I notice you didnt even mention the pilgrim... Falcon is a very handy suprise in small gang ops & devilishly hard to kill. C.
