Have you come across an enemy reckon fleet yet? Well i have, and its not a very nice situation to be in. So me and painball were roaming about down south, when we try and gang a pilgrim sat on the gate. the next thing, 6 reckon ships jump in. so in total Falconx2, pilgrim x3, arazu and a hugin. painball insta to a gate in his vaga, i warped to a planet cause i didn't have isntas in that region. next thing iam going planet to planet scanning the gates, nothing. so you start feeling like a lone Cruiser in the middle of a U-Boat infested Sea.
so i picked the least obvious gate for escape, nothing on scanner. i come out of warp, i hit MWD on my cerb, and the pilgrim declocks to suck on my cap in one go. luckily that 1 mwd activation took me all the way to the gate, i didnt wanna risk taking out the pilgrim quick before the others make it. they could ve been clocked on the gate next to me.
We managed to bail out of that and carry on with it.
SO Reckon Fleets are one Hell of an evil tactic in EVE.
the last thing you want is to get Scrambled from 60k, jammed, dampened, and no cap to play with.

oh ... my .. **** your completely right that no one has done this before ..
Just think of it a big alliance with the money to fund it has lets say a random number .... 25 yes 35 people in cloaked boats flying around. They can invade enemy teretory and enter a heavy mining op.... POP POP POP there go several hulks and then completely disapear a moment later to reapear killing eff every single loner in enemy space .. that and the gankability of that is just scary hell 10 recons or 5 even could be very damn nasty already ..... wow.

no not douptfull, plent of corps in eve can do that. especially MC.
Tut we are talking Rekon fleet only, meaning that 25 people can just decloak and pawn your up, EW on every ship, so no one can shoot., damn.

Yes these are some nasty nasty fleets. I have been part of some 100% recon wolf packs...and let me tell you, they make you feel like gods. The largest wolfpack I was in was 5 (2 pilgrim, 2 caldari, 1 galante). I think we could have went up against 4-5 BS's and not flinched. My corp mate and I regularly go out together, him in his caldari and me in my pilgrim. We took out 2 t2 ravens at once before together...just nasty.

A long time ago I posted a thread about most deadly fleets, I was suggesting that recon fleet would be most deadly. I certainly see the potential. I'm surprised many people disagreed

To do a fleet like that properly would require a painful ammount of coordination to the point of being ridiculously difficult. You come up against a fleet that can do respectable damage and if you havent got just about everysingle one of those ships removed in some way you are going to take heavy losses.

Reckon cruisers to be exact, and guys sorry for the many spelling mistakes, i was tired at the time.
Coordinating 10 reckon ships isn't hard at all. anything around 25-50. you can give each Ew ship a number, so if i have number 12, i will shoot the 12th guy on the overview list, sorted by alphabet.
Every one will shot primary. never the less.

It seems a RECON ship is better at PVP than most COMBAT based ships.
Recon > everything else
Shouldnt be this way, and hopefully Kali will change this to an extent.
There is no way in hell a well-skilled Absolution should be beaten senseless in seconds by recon ship pilot with only a few mill SP's

There's no such thing as a "recon ship pilot with only a few mill SP's". Recons, if anything are one of the most skill intensive ships out there, requiring lots of support skills (cap, drones, LOTS in electronics, navigation) to be effective.
Thinking otherwise is foolish at best. тттттттттттт

Mixed recon fleet is one hell of a punch to coutner sicne they have the ability to subjigate almost every thing , nos , ecm , damps , target paitntign webbign scrambeling etc . Only thing u can coutner is with ravens fitting FOF missiles although i highly doubt that it will even work , smart bombign ships will prob get sucked dry before even doign their first bombing run.

Correct me if im wrong, but FOF missiles will only go out as far as your lock range.
Minmatar + Gallente recon ship = teh pwn
Now a whole fleet of those with pilgrims thrown in to help break tanks...and DAMN  ________________ What you do is you store up the rage, let it fester while you gain strength, then use it to gank those weaker than you... and so the circle of life is complete |

I had a similar fright with a pilgrim the other month.
Was in a Raven and bumped into a Pilgrim. The pilot began to Nos me and slowly eat away at my tank, also has a web set on me so I can't do a runner.
Fortunately I had a Nos myself, so we're sitting there nos'ing each other away, tanks slowly decreasing. Drones battling it out.
Luckily I had corpmates nearby who could come along and lockdown the Pilgrim, but was certainly scary at the time.

I love recon gangs, when I'm in them 
I fly a Huginn or Rapier myself, last time we went out with a Falcon, Rapier, Pilgrim and last but not least, a sacrificial lamb/cow/other animal.
In our case it was a tanked Thorax. We'd smack that into a system, let him check whats there and engage numbers we can take, we jump in and slaughter them all.
Worked really well until our bait had to log , people get freaked easely if a gate goes off and they dont see anything.

Anyone who have ever tried flying a recon fleet in numbers less than 5 have found that their firepower is so **** that enemy actually sometimes have time to mobilize and come to the rescue.
Anyone whos flown a bs sniperfleet of 5 have discovered that as soon as any recons uncloack their instapopped. I find it just as fun every time to kill recons who think their smart and uncloack.
Once I had a team of mixed recons and inties and hacs and we went to hostile space to win an alliance competition.. we ran into a fleet of 20 cloackers.. And it was quite scary but we lost nothing we simply turned around when we realized what we were up against.. but in all fairness a fleet of 20 vs us 5 would have been scary even if it was kestrells..

All recons are medslot heavy and have oodles of CPU, so they all fit a lot of ECM.. It even takes precedence over their own racial Ewar in most cases.
ECM is overpowdered, not Recons.

Well its banging every form of Ewar together with bonuses on a cruiser sized platfom. It's going to be effective.
Wonder if we'll see Recon BS one day? ;)

Only the Caldari recon fits ecm. Guns are overpowered ecm isnt.
And the other recons have their own ewar and they kick ass.. except maby the amarr one with the tracking disrupters they could use some fixing.. But they got that imensly powerfull nos.

Nooo? ECM is on amarr and minmatar recons far more viable than their racial EW.
