There is nothing wrong with Combat Recon, there is just as much chance that your team will derp as their team.
If you enjoy that good for you. Personally I hate terrible players and the less power they have over me the better.
Lol, don’t go T3/T4 then. A lot of people don’t seem to know what they are supposed to do.

Most people are entirely and truly stupid. Goes for anything in life and has nothing to do with specific tiers sadly.

Oh now you are just being mean.
A lot of people just like killing others instead of actually winning, is all.
I hate the killjoy killing killers!
Combat recon’s good. People ask me, “Why’s the captain in an interceptor?” I tell them, “The captain needs to know his ship.” I stopped with the frigates, I died every time.
Of course that was before the patch. Now I wouldn’t take an interceptor. I’ve just tested PvP with an interceptor trying to see how nerfed it is. It’s nerfed.

Well obviously nobody cares about winning or doing well since the game doesn’t reward it. Get a few kills or assists on each of your ships to reach your synergy cap with each of them, afk until end, rinse repeat. Never go near any beacons, your team won’t do it either.
But guess we’re pretty off topic now. I’m still in support of a commander opt-in option.

So they can out-run anyone trying to kill them.

What has the patch done to stop interceptors making good captains?

That was initially after the patch. There were a lot of people using singularity cannons trying them out to the point of blue ball spam. It ends up being like a three hit kill on some interceptors. Weapon selections have adjusted since then.
interceptors have average of 3-5k on both hull and shield. But make the best captains due to there speed and agility.
A better solution would be to make sure the player had played a certain amount of combat recon games before becoming captain. There are enough established players that this shouldn’t be limiting.
My third match of Star Conflict, I was the captain in combat recon. THIRD MATCH EVER!!! We died of course.
My last time as captain, I was an interceptor, got a kill and a few assists, and we won.
I think this is the best option. Let the game pick based on ‘recon games played’. Once a certain threshold is reached, the number doesn’t mater and it picks randomly among anyone in the group.
