RECON CLASS FRIGATE
 * ships
 * UOC Wiki

Recon ( or reconnaissance) Frigates are small extremely fast ships that you start off with being able to build. At first they are one of the only ships you can build but with research you can build upon this. They are built for planet observance not military maneuvres. They are fast but they are fairly weak and they don't have a good weapons package. Once researched scout frigates should replace these ships for more military dominated scouting. Don't rule these ships out entirely though as they are equipped with extra sensory equipment for scanning planets and other celestial bodies. Even though these ships can be used in battle they should only be used as a last resort in combat situations.
