Small gang/solo rules for fw space after this change.
Never fly anything larger then what fits in a small. Otherwise you will be jumped. Never warp into a medium with others in system. Never sit in a medium. Never sit outside of a plex. Move out.
Or bring combat probes. |

The Dscan Immunity is a horrible Idea. While it makes little to no difference for larger fleets where Recons only act in a minor support role, it is deadly for solo or smallscale engagements.
Solo and Smallscale Fights are often started spontaneously and the decision to engage or not is done in a few seconds or the chance is gone. You check Dscan, they have this, we have that, lets try or lets move on. There is not a lot of probing with alts or checking the Grid with CovOps. Its going in, give or get a bloddy nose and moving on. And should there be a few cloaked Recons, well then you can try to kill the tackle, get in range of them or extract before they sensor delay is done.
With the Dscan Invisibility there will be plenty of Situations where a soloplayer or 2-3 man gang warps on Grid because they thought the other gang is engageble and simply is *instantly* dead. These Recons will not be used as "support" ships but as main fighting force that is able to lockdown smaller groups completely via EWar while the other ships are just uesed as bait and source of DPS.
While dying to a trap is not the main problem, the inability to avoid being trapped is. You force everyone to either move as Blob where Recons are no danger or to have a Probing Alt all the time which is simpy annoying and fun-killing.
This change is bad because it heavily favors ganks and put smaller groups at a significant disadvantage. |

Can the rook (a cruiser) get rapid light bonuses? I think this would make it a much more viable ECM boat! HAM's make no sense for a recon since it's suppose to be far off ham's make absolutely 0 sense for a rook to be bonus'd too! |

As a player who DAILY PVEs and PVPs in C1-C3 systems, I LOVE these chagnes! Eff yeah 1000x over! Me and my corpmates have been rejoicing over this dev blog since we first read it this morning. CCP Rise, u da man!
Pilgrim changes: super mega dope now! Curse changes: maybe even more dope! Arazu: buying my first one now! Lachesis: never even considered this ship until now!
Every Recon pilot in my fleet when i linked the dev blog started screaming with joy. Every non-Recon pilot in my fleet changed their training queue. Op success, CCP.
Also, to those who are complaining about dangers in wspace and this breaking low class systems and PVE....wspace should be seriously effing dangerous and operating here ought to be extremely difficult and deadly. Players who do not take the necessary defensive steps to secure their hole or their operations SHOULD be punished by those who do take the necessary offensive steps. So basically, be smart- take the steps to secure your system before you run sites, put alts on your doors, scout your neighbors or roll/crit your exits.
Happy hunting my friends. :)

Gotta say I'm pretty happy to see that they're getting t2 resists, though I think I'd rather see a role bonus directed to tank than dscan immunity for combat recons given how quickly they get primaried. Also, it would be nice to see some attention for armor gangs, particularly with the lachesis. The huginn might be able to fit a passable armor tank now, and make use of both of it's ewar bonuses. |

Some predict it will ruin PvE entirely in C1, C2, and C3 wormholes. Here are my thoughts... We already have frigates that can warp around cloaked and launch bombs that decimate huge fleets of battleships (and other ships too!). Before they launch their bombs, these frigates cannot be detected on dscan. We already have combat cruisers that can warp around cloaked with over 100k EHP and deliver a satisfactory 500 DPS within scram range. Before they decloak and attack, they cannot be detected on dscan. We already have a subset of recon ships, force recons, that can warp around cloaked and cripple enemies with their enhanced EWar capabilities. Before they decloak and attack, they cannot be detected on dscan. These recons will retain their ability to be undetectable on dscan after the upcoming patch with their covert ops cloaks. Now, the other subset of recon ships, combat recons, is proposed to be given the ability to be undetectable on dscan in the upcoming patch. They still cannot fit a covert ops cloak and warp around cloaked, though. And combat probes will still be able to sniff them out! So I am not seeing how the proposed dscan immunity will be OP. We already have a plethora of ships in the game that are effectively undetectable on dscan before they launch their attacks, including other recons that have EWar capabilities that are identical or very similar to that of combat recons. Yet wormhole PvE still persists. Am I missing an important detail regarding combat recons that would make them severely OP when given the proposed ability to be immune from dscan?
yeah you are. Here it is. Anything that is cloaked has a delay when the uncloak before they can lock something. So true you can't detect them, but when they uncloak they have to wait 5sec or more before they can start locking you. So when they show up on grid a guy still has a several second window where he has the possibility of escape.
now i'll be landing on grid uncloaked w/ sensor boosters running and insta lock you at range w/ a lachesis. my buddies will land on you w/ proper combat ships and pop you. My insta locking lachesis at range ensures you have zero time to gtfo once i'm on grid.
So currently a guy has a slim chance and after d-scan immunity the guy has zero chance. What guys don't like is zero chance. This change will give them zero chance.
It won't affect null so much, those risk averse pubbies are on orders to dock anytime a neutral enters local. D-scan is irrelelvant in null. They run like rabbits from anything.
FW - plexes will be camped by recons. If the plex gate allows a cruiser in, then a recon can jump the gate and sit uncloaked and sensor boosted on the warp in spot. Not just one guy, it could be a small gang sitting there. Again, the guy trying to plex has no way to detect them in the site and they don't have an uncloaking delay, so if you jump the gate you have zero chance of getting away.
WH - (where I'm from) won't be that different. You still get a chance to see the guy flash on dscan as he enters the system and the wh makes a sound upon entering, so if you're cautious and have a guy on the wh - you'll have warning. If you miss that you're toast. So if you're in a corp and do group things... you're probably not going to notice much. If you're a solo day tripper - then you are toast. If the recons are already in the system in a safe spot - then you're toast.
The flip side is you can run sites in a buffed recon and not be d-scanned in a site. Which is in my opinion totall BS. You jump into a heavily farmed null there will be a zillion wrecks all over the system and a ton of anoms and no ship on d-scan.
So the change really buffs risk averse null bears (the PL guy is all giddy and stuff). You have local to gtfo if a neutral comes into system and you can get lost in the clutter of wrecks and sited in an upgraded system.
It's another handout to null farmers and a kick in the nuts to fw and wh guys (the guys that try to make a living doing small gang pvp)
add to that whatever the new recon doctrines which my gut tells me will be OP and you have in my opinion a pretty crappy chang. Will it end eve? Nah.
Would it be better to give recons a 'no local' super power in lieu of the 'no D-scan' super power? I say hell yeah!! |

i just realized.. this is the ultimate counter to garmur's. Stealth garmur nerf. FW can be reclaimed from garmur menace.
Already have a fit ready for new rapier. To everyone wanting huginn as t2 belli, the rapier is what you're looking for. Its 50 paper dps less than bellicose, but with 10% damage bonus, you get `150 more volley damage, giving your magazine an extra `3k volley. This is important when frig hunting with RLML, extra damage per magazine is best.

Also a great idea to bring someone who "likes to scan". Yeah. We roam 50 jumps and the guy needs 50times to drop Combat Probes to make sure we don't run into a faggotrytrap with our 3 cruisers. That makes so much sense. I think this "friend" will quit EvE on the third day. |

True, but that point is moot if they are turning on their cloaks outside of dscan range. In my experience, wormholes often lie outside of a PvE player's dscan range.
And yes, Eve is very hard game. I think we can all be big boys and girls and deal with that. |

Thats not what I said at all, but good job winding yourself up like a gigantic baby over it.
Solo PVP without a proper or alts right now is already full of traps and ambushes, for the average solo pvp guy, literally nothing will change, his day seeing a lachesis drop on grid will literally be no different than when an arazu decloaks near him.
He will have literally the exact same amount of time to react, because in situation A, you can't see the pilgrim until he commits, and decloaks, he's got a 4-5 second delay in his actions, the Lachesis, you can't see until he commits, and he'll have about 4-5 seconds of warp deceleration PLUS targeting time that delay his actions.
So lets not drag the solo PVP guy on this, post change his day isn't any worse than it was before. If anything he's probably rolling around in a RLML Rapier owning Garmurs.
Second, if you were just running 3 cruisers with no alts theres a pretty good chance you were going to run into a 'faggotytrap'. Second if you're really roaming in 3 guys and you can see 10 dudes in local but dont show ships on scan your spidey sense should already be going off, and if not, one of your traps is probably waiting to kill you.

I truly hope CCP can sift thru all the whines, straw men and fear mongering and stand fast on a seemingly unique and fantastic approach to balancing recons with the rest of the ships in Eve. Once again great changes Rise and don't put to much stock into those who have painfully biased and obvious oopinions. They fear change and always will no matter which way you march so once again remain brave and see this through for these changes while absolutely a game shaker completely justified and sorely needed. Thank you Rise, keep up the great work!
