Recon ships must infiltrate the enemy ranks and identify the locations of their ships. A special module allows them to move around the battlefield quickly, and their active modules allow them to detect enemy ships, including the invisible ones, and track locations of individual ships. In addition, Recon ships can briefly become invisible and sabotage the enemy's shields. They boast increased radar range and key objects capture speed. Recon ship pilots also receive additional rewards for all damage done to those targets identified by them.
