Last night on my Caldari alt (who is able to fly a falcon but hasn't yet) I went out on a roam with some guys from my corp/alliance in a blackbird whose mid slots were filled with t2 jammers and lows were filled with SDAs. Once the fighting started when we ran into a hostile gang, I was ordered to jam as many enemy HACs as I could. I managed to completely take 2 zealots and an eagle out of the fight for the 45 or so seconds I was alive before I got called primary and blown out of the sky. My question is... Why can't I do similar things in a Celestis? Why does ECM get to be the only form of EWAR that can effectively take multiple enemy ships out of the battle?

nope . . ECM is fine as is. buff other forms of EWAR so that ships like the bellicose, arbitrator, and celestis can be as effective as a t1 blackbird in a group engagement.

And for those of you who don't excel at reading comprehension...
ECM does not equal falcon. Not once did I mention falcon in my opening post. I specifically mentioned blackbird.
This is not a falcon whine
This is not an ECM whine
This is simply a complaint that other races' t1 EWAR cruisers (aside from the abritrator which acts more like a combat ship than an EWAR ship) don't function as well as the blackbird in group pvp, and are complete and utter wastes of space that don't perform the job an EWAR ship should, which the blackbird does. Something needs to be done about this.
EWAR in general (aside from ECM) needs to be buffed because if the ECM whiners have their way and it is nerfed to utter uselessness like most other forms of EWAR have been, then all form of strategy and tactics will have been stripped from the game and every fight will be slugfests where the bigger ships with better numbers win by default.
ECM should not be the only viable form of EWAR to bring to a large roaming gang. More EWAR = more strategy, more tactics, and more diverse groups.
