The Scorpion is supposed to be a Battleship period.
It's the most specific battleship in the galaxy... It uses ECM, there are no other EW battleships...
So, not exactly another battleship!

Well if you "compare" all Battleships in the game you may notice that a Scorpion has just 6 high slots and not 8 like all other Battleships.
Ok, give 8 highs to the dominix, using drones is clearly not enough.

Second it is neither a turret, nor a missile boat even if it could fit both of those.
Use both, jam people, kill people, it's a really good ship. Have a friend tackling the target and you're sure to make a defenseless kill.

The Scorpion as she now is in the game is just an oversized Blackbird with some ecm bonus' on it - yea well um how is it supposed to harm anyone if she does not can hurt anyone?
Shouldnt a Battleship be capable of dealing damage - at least some?
When someone doens't fight back, you have plenty of time to kill his cap boosters... That's what ECM is for.
Again, use both turrets and missiles to have the highest possible damage output.

Even the new Widow got 5 launcher hardpoints and a rof bonus on it.
So why cant the Scorpion be revised and get the missing two high slots with launcher hardpoint to be "in line" with other Battleship.
What is being inline? I'm not sure we define this the same way.
You can do enough damage to kill other BS if you keep them jammed... Most PvP tanks rely on cap boosters, you rely on jamming people while they run out of boosters...

My solution would be as follows:
High slots: 8 (6 missile launcher no turrets)
Med slots: no change
Low slots: no change
+10% Capacitor capacity (base)
Caldari Battleship Skill Bonus: % bonus to cruise and siege missile launcher rate of fire and 10% bonus to cruise missile and torpedo velocity per level
Buy a rattlesnake (as you want an ECMless scorpion)!
Seriously, killing the only special battleship to make it all like the others is crap!
This ship is a big blackbird, and it makes it cool.
