Hi, instead of bad d-scan immunity, I suggest that Combat Recons would be immune to stopping MWD by Warp Scrambler.

That would give much better options to use Combat Recons much better and meaningful special feature that would be usable by much bigger variety of players.

no, i am much more pleased with the being undetectable by D-scan then this, mainly because of 2 reasons.
1 undetectable means more possibility of catching someone off guard increasing the chance of having a fight especially in WH systems.
2 These ships use ewar to give them the edge in battle, wanna point someone from 60+ KM out, pick the gallente, wanna web from that distance, go minmatar. these ships dont rely 100% on speed like interceptors, they rely more on preparing the fight in their favor and using ewar to try and either escape or win.

and 3 you really didn't explain how your idea would be beneficial, other then saying it would be more meaningful, which i think it would just make it so you can run away easier when you come across someone who sets up the fight rather then preparing to run when it begins.

I have never fit an MWD to any of my recons and the D-scan immunity makes much more seance for the class as a hole they are reconnaissance craft and not being seen helps that.


this sounds more like "I'm afraid of a D-scan immune ship so here is something i tossed together instead"

in any case this is a post that should be in the main thread not one of its own

and this is one problem i have with it already far to many industry and small corps are leaving wh or not coming in at all since ore sites no longer needed to be scanned but at least with the combat recons they will be able spam combat probes unlike with the current T3s.

over all i think these will make for more interesting fights in wh but will have fewer of them as it makes it harder for new players/corps/groups to get a handle on things

Not being seen would mean you don't show up in local. D-scan immunity in null is like hiding by putting a bucket over your head and going w/ the 'I can't see you, so you can't see me' methodology of a 4 year old.

If you reall want them to not be seen, take the recon pilots out of local.

Not being seen..... laughable for all but wh space.


I think all you 'hard core' null bears lay awake at night fearing the day your beloved local chat goes away. If you don't, then join me in the push to remove recon pilots from local. Let's get this done.
