Well, all it means is if i want to go in a med plex I'll pop probes on it first if it seems empty but people are in local.
Crap that the counter is to have an alt though but I guess thats EVE. |

If only ccp had just released a combat hull that was able to be combat fit and function as a combat prober.

Get ready to see Combat Recons integrated into almost every cruiser sized fleet comp of four or more pilots. Start your training now if you haven't got Recon 5 already. |

If it becomes an issue they will remove it. I like to think I will be the jerk doing it, but I will probably be getting destroyed more from it then doing it.

I think the new change is a good idea. However it should be complemented by allowing it to sneak into a plex again without getting decloaked. |

Prolly, but as someone said in another thread the fitting requirements of an expanded probe launcher really do need to be changed if combat probes are the only way to see the combat recons. Not everyone can afford to have an alt following them around. Especially with the changes to multiboxing in EVE going active on Jan 1st. |

I don't see why this doesn't affect small and novices as well.
One can easily do a recon with a sub 2 secs lock time and get people on the warp in, while being competely safe and already aligned out in case something bigger comes.
I foresee quite a lot of curses specifically fit for fast lock times to s**t on frigates camping outside small and novices |

If you spam the acceleration gate as you land on it you will automatically go into the plex. |

Pretty sure it still needs align time. I caught countless ships on the acceleration gate. Frigs need to be slow to spam the button unless i'm running scan res script unless heavily plated, dessies are pretty much a guaranteed catch |

I kind of like the ewar tug of war myself. Combat recons are still going to be a big priority to take off the field and I think I'd rather see them get either a sig radius role bonus or more EHP baked right into the hulls. |

Put WCSs and a mobile depot into your cargo. Before you warp to mid plex, deploy mobile depot in a temporally safe and fit WCS. After you made sure there are no Curses inside plex, deploy mobile depot and stay by it. When someone appeared on your 1,000,000 km DSCAN, if you are convinced there are no Recons, unfit WCSs and prepare for your glorious PvP. If evil Curse rushed into your plex in advance of any other ship, you can warp away. |

IMO the probe launcher is too cpu intensive for most plexing fits. Its probably just best to accept you will lose some cheap frigates to combat recons. |

Here is how I see the recons should be:
Cloaky Recons = evil, emo rage-inducing, because of falcon, ace in the hole ship
Combat Recons = fleet support ship. Can actually be tanky enough to survive in sub-cap fleets. |

People are acting like combat recons are absurdly hard to kill. Curses melt like butter, Lachesis can't hurt you, Rooks suck, and Huginns are also paper tanked
If there is a surprise recon in your plex, kill it

Nope, you can be locked, pointed and shot sometimes, but if you do your job right you could slide a dual plated rupture in if you want as you will just slip all the tackle as though it didnt happen.
If you catch people on the warpin it is due to them being bad or some server tick phenomenon that ive never encountered perhaps since i live in the UK. |

Curse was one of, if not the most feared ship in Eve for a very long time. Granted that was before the NOS nerf. With Combat recons being unscannable by d-scan + getting some resist boosts I think they will be coming back in a glorious way.
I'd bet my HG Talisman set on it. |

Sweet, I'll take that Talisman set off your hands.
Without the resist bonus they won't be anywhere near as popular. Way to thin on tank, and with so many drone based enemies, cap warfare isn't anywhere near as strong as it used to be. |

For FW; following things will change:
Going into a Medium is a slight tad more refreshing and entertaining than right now. If you wanna feel safe on warpin, only pop new plexes or only enter when you're god-damn sure it's empty. Do Station-Checks.
Or, in general, it's not different in any way, since when warping in there might already be a cloaky fleet waiting for you. The only difference now is, that they won't have to decloak when you drop out of warp.
Oh yeah and get a Rook, for surprise-failsafe-attacks. |

If they decided it needed a work around. I wouldn't even be completely against them moving the D-Scan buff to the cloaked ships (Basically making them undetectable) and then adding the resist profiles etc to the combat recons. |

I think the removal of combat recons from d-scan is a good idea. There is really no problem with a nano-ed frigate to burn into a plex and immediately warp out, even before fast locking frigates get a point. And we are talking here about cruisers.... so a scout can easily find out if a recon is in such a plex.
What I find much more important is, that combat recons will now get an interesting option to hunt those pesky mission runners in their stealth bombers. They won't see you on d-scan many seconds before you come into the mission, this gives you a good chance to catch them if they aren't too far off the warp in. |

Im pretty sure I never dplex without a warp stabbed alt anywhere in the warzone because :risk:
People who can read between the lines and know my gameplay style will understand I am really saying is -
The counter I suggested - Which is an army of stabbed cloaky farmers like I use are actually in danger of not being as viable anymore because there might already be enough points in the plex to tackle them when I warp them in.
I will still however try to use reverse psychology on on CCP and say that cloaky stabbed farmers will become more of a problem after this change when it is really going to discourage such things.
I also pledge that I will continue to pretend warp stabbed cloaky alts are something I do not like on the forums while using many of them in game
It is good to see you being so honest.
