New New ECM Changes

Apparently, due to the public outcry, CCP has once again changed their ECM changes. From CCP Chronotis:

---
The skill bonuses and other changes to the caldari recons will then look like this:

Rook:
Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus:
  • 5% Bonus to Light & Heavy Missile Velocity per level
  • 10% reduction in ECM Target Jammer capacitor use per Level

Recon Ships Skill Bonus:
  • 25% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per level
  • 5% bonus to heavy and light missile kinetic damage per level

Attribute Changes:
+25m3 drone bay
+25mbit drone bandwidth

Falcon:
Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus:
  • 20% Bonus to ECM Target Jammer Optimal Range per level
  • 5% Bonus to Medium Hybrid Optimal Range per level

Recon Ships Skill Bonus:
  • 20% bonus to ECM Target Jammer strength per level
  • -96% to -100% reduction in Cloaking Device CPU use per level

Attribute Changes:
+1 turret hardpoint / -1 launcher hardpoint

Scorpion:
The scorpion remains unchanged from the original suggestion for now. Whilst this change would make them less usual at long range jamming, they can still jam out to ~140km using their falloff (setup for ECM range) so whilst their role in the long range scenario is reduced, their new short range scenario is much better.

The Widow:
Forgot to mention it would be getting an increase in ECM strength bonus same as the scorpion. Will make a separate post on black ops themselves.

I am pretty alright with these changes as laid out, although I would still like to see the Scorpion retain some kind of range bonus.
