Why didnt these ships get love?
Why didnt pilgrim get fixed? Right now pilgrim is the worst recon for solo and for gangs.
Absolution needs a 4th mid or it cant really kill anything unless he "has a friend".
Sentinel cant even run 1 of its own EW mods without capping out, while other races can just keep full racks of it going inherently. One of the worst EAS out there and as usual caldari and minmatar got the greatest EW ships.

Pilgrim has the best tank of the force recons. It is an awesome ship in gang and the best recon for solo. Not a random statement, I fly them regurarily on my other acc.
Abs I dont fly, but EVE is a gang game. Try flying caldari for a while :P
Dont fly sentinel either, but try using mwd and nos instead of neuts. The mwd will take down your cap to where you start sucking. As an added bonus you can mwd as long as your target has cap making you a bit more safe, espicalially if hes tracking disrputed by someone with bonus to tracking disrputors... I do fly both Kitsune and Hyena. Kitsune is a nice ship agreed, but it can only mwd a little while else it caps out. Moving at base speed inside the ship at the top of the enemy gangs most wanted list often result in fatal beatings. Hyena would be nice, unless it was about half as fast as my vagabond :( With EAS 4 the web range is 18km, any reasonably competent vaga or nanoishtar pilot will be out of web range before the hyena gets lock, then proceed in outrunning the "frig".

Trust me, as soon as you are forced to fight within 12km range, wich the pilgrim is, that tank mean ZERO, NADA, NOTHING.

I disagree, I find the sentinel to be one of the best EW ships out there. I highly doubt it is unable keep 1 tracking disruptor running. I've never used a TD on one yet. But it sure can keep a MWD running forever, while having the ability to cap out small ships and cruisers. :) So it's either your setup sucks big time, or you've never flown one before. The other ships you listed, I've never flown before.

Ever flown a Falcon? I beleive they are the worst, i mean sure they can jam, but they are never going to win any awards for the time it takes to kill someone

How about you try to just use ONE neut (its bonused on the ship so it counts as a mod it should be able to use inherently) and with MWD off. Youll cap out pretty fast. It needs more cap or more bonus to neuts.

My take.
Pilgrim did get love by way of increased viability of tracking disruptors. It excels as a cloaked scout/covert cyno popper and with buffer+resists can make a tough regular cynoer. Thinking of it as a solo vessel is wrong unless you spend the time to pick your targets, in which case any of the recons will do just as well.
Absolution is a difficult one. As much as I would love a fourth mid, a change like that would make it overpowered compared to the other commands or the slot would come from the lows eliminating the benefit. Get a designated tackler and gank the hell out of it, you'll be doing 600dps+ against pretty much all targets - better (but more expensive) than a BS which has tracking/signature res. issues against cruisers/frigs.
Sentinel is my new favourite ship and a I know a lot of other people who have trained Amarr frig 5 to access it. It shares top-spot among EAS with the Kitsune - cap denial and three flights of drones while moving at near interceptor speed ... Matari EAS webbing has limited use due to lock range/relative speed and it quite frankly has pitiful damage. Gallente EAS dampening is again limited by lock range plus the fact that the utility of dampeners is not what it used to be.
My evolving setup: 2x Small Neuts 1x Small NOS
1MN MicroWarpdrive II 2x Tracking Disruptors 1x Warp Disruptor
Overdrive Injector System II 2x Capacitor Power Relay II
12x Small drones (I like 4 armour rep and 8 combat)
Speed is > 3000m/s and it can run MWD+Point, 1xTracking+1xneut, point+2xtracking.
If tackling is taken care of swap the point for a cap recharger for even more neuting or to increase speed Two nuets will kill the cap of pretty much all frigs since chances are they have used their MWD for one cycle or more.
Friendly frigs will love you for the repairing in between skirmishes and few interceptors will survive against 4 drones with no cap.

I use one neut also btw. (try to bring some skills on 5 and micromanagement ftw) My setup is close to the setup from Hirana Yoshida (posting above).

i tryed out a Sentinal n the test server due to my currant wallet restrictions and i found the cap on the sentinal to be prefectly fine with 3 TD's working and an AB as well as a DCU running permumently and with a small repper working part time to.. only reasn the DCU and repper was on there was to test how far the cap could really stretch and dam was i impressed ^_^ im now thinking of getting into one real couse it performed so well so id take another look at the sentinal there

No offence, but you're delusional if you think there are problems with Amarr.
Abso: Decent tank, no ammo, great range, instantly switches crystals, good tracking against nano ships.
Your problem is you want every ship a WTFPWN solo ship. Also, pilgrim can still do allot and actually isn't the worst recon, it's the Arazu at the moment.
It's clear from your comments that you know nothing about the other races.

My alt is a Falcon pilot and out of the 4 recons, I'd say it's the best ship at it's "role"

Please feel free to explain how awesome the pilgrims tracking disruptors are if you're webbed - which you will be using medium neuts.
Please also feel free to explain how the pilgrim excells over any other cov ops cloaking ship in game?
Finally, can you explain why I would use a 'tough cynoer' like the pilgrim (price range 50 - 60mil) over say, a 2mil isk barge and an alt?
Thx.

The Absolution and Sentinel are fine. These two ships perform well.
The Pilgrim however, does need some love. . . ----

Only thing I want to comment, is the Pilgrim fix request. Pilgrim is fine. Compared with the curse, you get to chose your targets more easily. A Curse has to wait in ambush while the Pilgrim can hunt activly.
Imagine you get the Nos7Neut bonus on the Pilgrim, why would you fly a Curse? Curse can't fit a Covert Ops cloak but can more safely use it's Nos/Neut. My guess is, that those that complain about the Pilgrim needing a boost are trying to fly it like a Curse. The fact that its the Curse's Nos/Neut range bonus those people want, is a pretty clear indication of the true problem.

tbh pilgrim needs more CPU and/or PG, a ship that needs lvl5 ship skill to fit decently is broken, imo.

Every other races force recons get the range bonus and everyone IS PICKING THE CLOAKING ONE. Why shouldnt amarr have a equally good cloaking one?
