Furthermore, Force Recon Ships are also capable of fitting both standard and covert [[Jump drives|Cynosural Field Generators]], allowing them to bring in either a black ops hit squad, or a fleet of capital ships to reinforce a battle. This makes them a high-priority target in many battles. | ||
* '''Combat Recon Ships''' have superior weapons, electronics, and defenses. While they cannot fit a covert ops cloak, they cannot be detected by [[directional scan]], a unique ability in the game that makes them an unpleasant surprise for opponents. | * '''Combat Recon Ships''' have superior weapons, electronics, and defenses.

Despite their name, recons are not really used for reconnaissance. EVE players do much of their reconnaissance using [[third-party tools]] which draw on the [[EVE Swagger Interface|ESI API]], such as [https://evemaps.dotlan.net/ DOTLAN EveMaps] (to check on ratting numbers) or [[ZKillboard]] (to find ship fits). Reconnaissance inside the game could be scouting structures and checking for their fittings and timers. This is usually done in [[interceptors]] or [[Covert_Ops#Covert_Ops|covert ops]]. | Despite their name, recons are not really used for reconnaissance.
