'''Recon Ships''' ('''recons''') are the ~~Tech 2~~ versions of the [[Cruisers#Electronic_warfare|electronic warfare cruisers]]. From those, they inherit bonuses towards the primary [[electronic warfare]] ("EWAR") type of the corresponding faction, but also usually gain further bonuses ~~usually~~ towards the secondary EWAR type; the exceptions are the Caldari ~~recon ships~~, ~~which~~ have no secondary type of EWAR.

'''Recon Ships''' ('''recons''') are the T2 versions of the [[Cruisers#Electronic_warfare|electronic warfare cruisers]]. From those, they inherit bonuses towards the primary [[electronic warfare]] (EWAR) type of the corresponding faction, but also usually gain further bonuses towards the secondary EWAR type; the exceptions are the Caldari recons, as the Caldari have no secondary type of EWAR.

Recon Ships are divided into two types, with similar EWAR abilities but different role bonuses:

* '''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 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.

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 ~~ships~~]].
