I have played some t2 with a recon interceptor and the result was awsome!
You not have so much firepower as the covert ops, but the spy drone was pure happy. I enjoy so much spaming spydrones in engineering frigates and see they explode because the regen was violated :taunt:
Man, recon is so cool!
Good for you…that doesn’t impres me so much…Doesn’t really look exciting to me lol
Oh god, imagine spy drone + painted. Ships drop like flies.
I freaking love having a recon ally, I don’t think I’ve ever -once- seen someone complain about a recon floating high above the battle keeping everyone in view and droning targets that are getting engaged, I know I sure as hell wouldn’t complain about it.
Hit more Tacklers, they really really rely on that stealth to not die when they pull into dangerous situations.
I’m having trouble flying Recon in T3 - main problem is getting one shotted everytime I try to get into range to activate drones
- I believe recon should have cloak
- tacklers should have warp
makes more sense.
Recon is worthless in t3. Spy drones wont make much of a difference against a good hull/shield tank, that is presuming you can get close to the target without getting raped.

Good to know, I was planning on trying to use something with more of a focus on burst damage either way :<.
So recon just has no place? what a frigging shame.
recon would be fun in T3. The main problem is there is none at rank 9!
Btw. why the hell is there none? Recon+rank9 fed skill = awesome.
I hope they´ll fix that.
Corps use Recon effectively as per the name in Combat Recon, to destroy the regen rate of the captain while 2 or more Covert ops ships move in. I dont fly them, but use them when the need arises
I thought spy drones were one of the few modules that openly uses a % modifier to their effects, ie. 50% less regen.
Back in the days, when ship roles were not separated, I always used spydrones on inty. Now i think that its about the only useful module on recon. And as said before, there is no rank-9 recon inty.

I’m a lvl 12 fed recon int player and playng thois game since the 0.5… I can easily say that last patch made this game the worse version i played till now… and not fun at all compared the way the game was time ago and b4 last patch…And for sure recon and tackler are most useless unexciting ships i’ve seen in game till now…Only viable ships in this game are covert ops int, command/gunship fighters and guard/engi frigs… so i’m sure the game had much more playable ship roles the way it was before0.8 patch lol
agreed - tackler and recon need a more robust combo of mods / attributes coz right now they are too role specific and too damn hard to use in pub matches.
Odd… I never had any problems with tacklers. actually Fox-M and Lance Bartle are imo more viable for me then Deimos 2 or Castor.
Actually I dont think the new roles are broken (Ok, maybe besides snipers especially jerry torps), the problem is the messed up tech tree.
There is no reason why there shouldnt exist a role in end-rank of its respective tier!
Oh, OK, found one. To make the game even more grindy. At last that caused this messy shiptree.
I find that team that has 1 (currently there is no space in a team for more then 1 recon inty) good recon has an advantage over enemy. Unfortunately there is only 1 Recon lvl 9 and it is prem Empire ship, lucky me i have it. Unfortunately i find R7 and R8 recons to be way less effective. On top of that to really prove yourself useful as recon you need blue/purple modules, MK2 just dont cut it. My recon has 9000 scaning range for my team, my drones are 4900 range application/17 seconds cool down. Even in pubs i can see my drones doing its work. Shield drain is especially useful against all these jericho command ships because it ignores all these crazy resists.
