All the loyal UGTO players will agree with me, we want our recon platforms fixed asap, ICC and Kuth have the advantage over us right now with being able to setup and see what ships we have while we struggle to find their spy plats, UGTO recon plats are usless at the moment with there ECM not working and the other factions being able to see them from as far as 4500gu out. Please fix them even if it means giving them the same code as ICC and Kluth, something is better then nothing and right now nothing is being said or done about it, it seems.

dont quote me, but i'm pretty sure all "recon" class platforms have the same specs: scanner, ecm, no weapons
Heres a trick in fight em, take a recon scout, turn on scanners and jump all over the map, while keep pressing "e" for enemy search. If ur jump path pass with in 3000gu of a plats u'll see it.
in a sout u can clear the sysm in 5min, have a friend along and u might catch the engi that puts em down too.
^_^
p.s. would u like cloaks and shields on those plats too?

Not quite,
All three factions recon platforms have 3 scanners but the problem lies within the type of ecm each of the plats use;
UGTO recon plat - 7 ECM
ICC recon plat - 7 Local ECM
Kluth recon plat - 2 Longwave ECM + 5 Local ECM
Clearly an easy fix for this would be to give the UGTO recon plat Local ECM like there counterparts have.

There is a bug that prevents UGTO recon plats from using their ECM. I believe this is the problem to which Charlie is referring to.

Incorrect, UGTO Recon Plats use 7 Local ECM just like the ICC recon plats do.

Yah really.
As you can see, the class is set to LocalECM which means it ss running Local ECM numbers, and using the local ECM code. However, looks like the nouncontext(the part that tells it what to label as and what art to use, all cosmetic) was accidently still set to regular ECM. Thanks for finding that little bug for us, it's fixed now.

The UGTO Recon Plat also has plenty of ECM, but for some reason it's not activating them. We've checked it out multiple times and haven't been able to pin down a reason why it wouldn't be using them.

Can having the wrong nouncontext affect the platform in anyway?

Other than being labelled wrong and using the wrong art, no.

Again, recon scout+scanner+jump around map will find most recon plats very quickly. I use this technique, I've seen other use this technique. I highly recomend u get out of those shrooms and dread and try it urself.
Stop complaining about nonexistent inequalities and start exploring the game for real solution to ur problems.
Lock topic plz, this argument is over.

Who's arguing? This is a legit problem for UGTO
The point is that ICC and Kluth do not need to hop in a scout to find UGTO recon plats, the ECM on them isnt hiding them like ICC and Kluth ones do, they can be seen clear as day from far away, UGTO may aswell use a supply plat for reckoning as it has more armor and currently does the same job.

I have noticed this as well. While this is by far more common with UGTO recon plats this also occurs with ICC recon plats as well. U build them, the ecms/scanner turn on then when i return somtime later, the scanner is going but ecms are off. Now i do not know what the platforms have in terms of energy production but could it be possible the explanation is that the platforms are simply running out of power and causing ecms to shut off? Doesnt explain why scanner remains on but still thought was worth mentioning.
