combat recon and cpt?

hello,

ive started playing yesterday and just reached my tier 4 ship. Now suddenly there are also new game modes like combat recon, for example.

I understand that the mission objective is to kill the enemy cpt in order to prevent the opposition from respawning but how exactly chooses the game who’s leading n’ who’s not? 

 

I was told in chat that it’s decided by “player rank” which I would find by hovering over my name in hangar and that the amount would vary from 0-2000.

I tried that with my name in the upper right of the hangar screen but nothing happened. I went then to profile menu and found under statistics/ battles “skill rating”! I wonder now if “skill rating” was what he meant?

 

Chat also told me that it wouldn’t matter how many or what type of ships I had, because it’s apparently only decided by the just mentioned highest player rating. If that is indeed the fact I believe it should be better explained ingame, because without my interest in the game I never would have cared owning more than 1 ship! Like in world of tanks I like to focus on only 1 ship (or tank) so that I can really master it. 

 

Now it seems I’ve to better own a tanky frigate for combat recon because even tho i prefer more fragile ships the game doesnt care if I own a suitable ship or not? 

 

BTW:

I couldnt find anything on the interwebs about my question. I believe that at least the player rating thing should somewhere be mentioned.

The captain is random.

If it’s you then pick the ship you think you can play well defensively but if you are any good with interceptors then Ecm is one of the best suited for that role.
