The '''Falcon''' is the Caldari [[Recon Ships|force recon]], designed to fit a covert ops cloaking device and ECM jammers.

The Falcon lacks the [[Blackbird]]'s ECM range bonus, but has a superior jam strength bonus. It also has a medium hybrid turret damage bonus,but this is often ignored in favour of utility modules or anti-drone weapons in the high slots, as the Falcon's DPS potential is low.

Since force recons are the smallest ships which can light a normal (or "hard") [[Jump_drives#Normal_Cynosural_Fields|cyno]], the Falcon is often used as a cyno ship. It can also light a covert cyno to move black ops ships and stealth bombers. On the flipside, because its presence on grid implicitly threatens a hard cyno and so invites serious fight escalation from opponents, fleets or gangs in need of a Tech 2 ECM ship often choose the [[Kitsune]] or [[Rook]] over the Falcon.
