Because I got a Hammerhead. Recons blow, give me firepower and self-sufficient repair.

 

Incidentally, are there any good base weapons for Recon? The pew-pew is just sad, missions I sleepwalk through in a Hammerhead are mathematically impossible on a Marten.

Off topic, but recons can use the scatter gun at high ranks, which is immensely powerful when used right.

Nightingale has access to the spy drone gun that’s really powerful at times, and all intys can use the phase blaster or whatever (thermal gun that halves enemy regen) and the Sk’Rah. Both are fab when used right.

I completely agree.

Recons blow? are u kidding me? xD i killed literally 20-30 Hammerhead with Marten in OS, and never died by Hammerhead… i got Emergency Barrier 4-5 times, but Hammerhead never killed me with Marten… in PvP without chips recons suck against frigates, so i’m not talking about it… Anyways, use Echo Cannon on Marten, get a Mk.5 Blueprint from Cybers, and get chips… like total: 100% crit damage increase, 50-100% crit chance, 200%+ damage increase (or bigger) and +50% firing rate… and then Marten is perfect… and sure, Emergency Barrier because interceptors suck without Emergency Barrier…
