When using Recon the most suggested weapon to use are Pulse Lasers, Recon is a fast ship and it doesn’t care about how long range it is.
The thing to care about is that you can give high damage.
Also always use Spy Drones it’ll help alot if you need help from an ally.
RFB.
It didn’t work on my Diamond Dwarf. Hulls damaged, no regen.
Did you disengage combat? Did you stood still for some time?

Disengage, yes. Staying still… I don’t really want to stay still as an inty.

I mean like: Dont use afterburner. It takes some time after disengage until the healing starts.

=( In this case I’ll rather run to an engie, but then again engies are bloody rare.

Recons have native crit bonuses, i would recommend use a shotgun for general purposes, it is good against all types of ships, while usefulness of RFlazor is shifted towards specialization vs Frigates and Fighters

RFB is still pretty good against Ceptors because the majority of them are Fed/Jericho, so you can actually strip them of their shields that much easier. To counter the current trend, I just put Therm/Kin resists on my Shields, as well.

The trick is to look at the number, not the bar. But it’s not worth it. It needs a buf badly. Even after the patch, most matches will have an engineer, and that’s better than the three or more minutes it could take to heal your hull. The other modules are superior.

I looked at the bar, didn’t see anything, then I went back to look at the numbers. My hull wasn’t healing, and I got the Burning Metal medal for my effort.
Discussion about weapons
New recon players should stick with something they are comfortable with, and I believe pulse lasers are easy enough to use. Once the initial learning phase is over, RFB or shrapnels are a much better choice. RFB is good as an initiating weapon as it helps to strip away shields quickly: parasitic remodulator + RFB helps take down Jericho guards quickly, and if need be throw in a couple of piercing rockets. Shrapnels are deadly at close range and excellent for mopping up.
Try Assault Plasma (I think the new name is Plasma Blaster) on your ECM/Covops!
You might want to use it with “Horizon”, “Heatsink” and “Target Tracking Computer (the one that reduces Spread)”

If you mean RF Blaster so i am going to say that with their spread you’ll never hit even a moving frigate.

RFB isn’t that bad. Same as shrapnel, you cannot really use it without electronic guidance mod though.

I have the Jericho rank 2 implant. I guess that helps.

And/or that, yeah, forgot. Helps loads with those guns.
Pulse Laser is better for RECONS in my opinion.
Im too lazy to explain my builds right now, so maybe you find them interesting to look at. :)wt
I wont post my Implants, since some secrets shouldnt be revealed :taunt:
They work for me, thats fine enough. But im quite sure they wont work for everyone. But maybe they give you a new inspiration…
Shrapnel cannon…
Seems the rail meta changed very little for inties.

Besides the Assault Plasma the only viable gun for me atm.

Shrapnel and RPB are the only viable weapons for Ceptors, atm.
Pulse lasers feel weak (having Thermal damage does NOT help it at all) and the Plasma Guns are… well, silly.
Yea, its silly that the spread reduces WHILE fireing. But if you use a heatsink the reduction will kick in quite soon and they do their job well then.
