The Recon Fighter is a Tech 2 variant of the Starfighter which is meant for quick information gathering. This is the smallest vessel that can equip a Jump Beacon, and the smallest vessel that can field the Advanced Probe Launcher. This means that it is well suited for tracking down players or other points of interest and calling in an allied fleet. It has a small contact radius of 500m, the fastest Hyperdrive Warmup Time of any ship class, and the ability to light a path for allied ships with its jump beacon. That being said, the ship has no weapons and weak shields, meaning it is incredibly vulnerable if caught out. As such, it must use its small detection radius and complete stealth to its advantage to keep itself alive by staying hidden.
The Recon Starfighter cannot be Probed, and does not appear on dynmap when in Combat, or when near Jump Gates. It is only visible on map when its Jump Beacon is active, or when its pilot's Transponder is on.
