See below. If you look in the Role Bonus section, the D-Scan-proof recons cannot fit covert cyno, so you can't be unaware of a in incoming hot drop on your accelerator...
Not showing up on D-Scan is already a property of any ship that can fit a Covert Cloak, like the T3 cruisers, which are already more dangerous than Recon ships and will continue to be so.
If you're in a plex, you're already protected from close warp ins, so if you don't want to use a warp gate scout, just make sure you stay out of point range from the beacon and fight aligned. SOP?

If someone is actively punching D-scan it seems reasonable that they should be able to detect an uncloaked ship. Recons are supposed to be sneaky, so give them the ability to circumvent local scanners. They could actually perform their recon role w/ out being passively detected.
Cloakiness is already pretty powerful. Camping a system becomes really easy when you don't show up in local and it brings some of the wormhole flavor into null, which I don't think I like. I would say that if you really wanted to open that can of worms, then you'd also need to come up with a type of probe that can counter super-cloakies allowing Level 5 scanners to detect cloaked vessels. |

eg. a sebo thrasher on a small gate
Aaah... I didn't think about that. T'would be a great way to bait someone into a plex. |
