I took out the shiny new Falcon, Sand Vag: A Prequel (don’t ask, you probably don’t want to know), last night and it was everything I imagined and more!  I jammed every Falcon I ran up against, kept entire fleets we fought jammed, and generally made our opponents’ lives hell.  We even had the following exchange due to my “skills of an artist!”

[ 2009.02.20 07:02:53 ] Gankis Khan > We could say the same thing.  It’s all in the perception.

I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t want to fly a Falcon.  I felt like it was giving up on the underpowered class to play the OP King (warlocks anyone?).  But after last night, I can say that OP is sweet.  

Yes, Falcons are overpowered.  But I don’t give a shit any more ’cause I have one now.  HA HA HA!
