I think the Falcon now is rubbish, not quite as bad as Hammerhead, but worse than either Enforcer or Medusa. It has less firepower than a Hammerhead (but better flux stats), which in turn has less firepower than other destroyers. No small turrets in front of medium energy mounts meant I need to choose either PD or firepower. Falcon being a cruiser was more of a liability because of low OP for hullmods at cruiser costs, and Capture order did not work on it. Better ITU bonus, more zoom-out, and other big ship perks are not enough.
Falcon should be much better once they get the extra mounts and OP, and the ability for cruisers to Capture points. I know I will optimize some cruisers for speed.
As for Hammerhead, hybrid slots are nice and may correct the low firepower problem, but my other problems with it are low OP and mediocre flux stats. Not sure if the hybrid mounts and ammo feeder buffs will be enough.
