Rapier

Rapier

Rapier Name: Rapier
Hull: Bellicose
Role: Force Recon Ship

Force recon ships are the cruiser-class equivalent of covert ops frigates. While not as resilient as combat recon ships, they are nonetheless able to do their job as reconaissance vessels very effectively, due in no small part to their ability to interface with covert ops cloaking devices and set up cynosural fields for incoming capital ships.

Developer: Core Complexion

Core Complexion's ships are unusual in that they favor electronics and defense over the "lots of guns" approach traditionally favored by the Minmatar.

Minmatar Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Medium Projectile Turret rate of fire and 7.5% bonus to target painter effectiveness per level

Recon Ships Skill Bonus: 60% bonus to stasis webifier range and -96% to -100% reduced CPU need for cloaking device per level.

Role Bonus: 80% reduction in liquid ozone consumption for cynosural field generation and 50% reduction in cynosural field duration.

Note: can fit covert cynosural field generators
