'''Recon Ships''' are cruiser-sized [[EWAR Guide|electronic warfare]] and (true to their name) reconnaissance platforms. Recon Ships are divided into two types, with similar sets of core EWAR abilities but different secondary roles:
* Force Recon ships can fit [[Cloaking|Covert Ops Cloaking Device]]s, and thus warp while cloaked. Furthermore, Force Recon ships are also capable of fitting both standard and covert [[Jump drives|Cynsural Field Generators]], allowing them to bring in either a covert ops hit squad, or a fleet of capital ships to reinforce a battle. As of 2019, they are one of the few ship types capable of fitting Cynosural Generators: do not underestimate their backup, and remove them from the battlefield as soon as possible.

* Combat Recon ships have superior weapons, electronics, and defenses. While they do not have cloaking (as once the ship is in combat, cloaking technically becomes useless), they instead cannot be detected by [[Directional scan]]. A number of these ships like the Curse are famous hull names that can quickly cripple any ship, and are very scary to see on grid with you, and what's worse, due to their D-scan immunity it is very hard to see them coming.
