The Fleet Comet-class Reconnaissance Science Vessel is a Tier 5 (Level 50) Science Vessel which may be flown by Starfleet characters, including Federation-aligned Romulan Republic and Dominion characters. All faction restrictions of this starship can be removed by having a level 65 KDF character or by purchasing the Cross Faction Flying unlock from the Zen Store.

Players can obtain this starship from any Ship and Shuttle Requisitions officer for 20,000  and 4 , so long as the player's Fleet has a Tier II Shipyard and one Starbase Military Fleet Ship Provision.

Overview

The Reconnaissance Science Vessel, shortened as the "Recon vessel" or "RSV", is one of the newer line of Federation scientific starships and was built not long after the Dominion War had ended, with the purpose of exploration and research. One notable vessel of the Recon line (or more specifically the Luna class) is the USS Titan. These vessels are quite maneuverable due to a high turn rate and inertia rating. Also of note, all Recon Science Vessels can mount a "Mission Pod" through the starship customization in-game.

Class variants

Class	Information
Luna class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Luna class has a very slender and curved design. It has a typical saucer section at the fore end of the ship which intersects with the hull. The hull is quite small and is predominantly located on the under-side of the ship. The aft section of the hull also slopes on roughly a 20 degree angle. The hull connects to two pylons which split off at a 45 degree angle to connect to the nacelles.
Polaris class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Polaris class is very abrasive compared to the Luna and Sol classes. The aft section of the mission pod, main hull and nacelles lead off into a spiked design. The saucer section is quite typical in design, although is longer than most and has notable cut-outs on the rear left and right sides.
Sol class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free The Sol class's design has more in common with the Luna class than the Polaris, and features a very smooth and rounded design with little in the way of sharp edges. The saucer design is pear-shaped with the wider portion at the rear. The dorsal section of the hull comprises of a smooth slope going from the saucer section to the aft section of the hull and also is the main entry point for shuttles.
Comet class	SKIN UNLOCK: Free with this starship The Comet class is a variant of the Luna class but resembles the Sol class. Nacelle pylons are forked and the pod and saucer section are much more connected. The saucer also has a Star Cruiser-style middle row that extends to the neck. This class was previously available as an extra ship skin in the Zen Store, but as of Season 7 is exclusive to the Fleet Reconnaissance Science Vessel. Players who purchased the skin prior to the Season 7 update may still use the Comet skin on any Reconnaissance Science Vessels they own.
Titan class	SKIN UNLOCK: Titan Science Destroyer, 3000 The Titan-class is a 2411 version of the Luna-class, named for the ship once commanded by William T. Riker. Its distinctive mission pod, attached to the vessel's secondary hull, is reminiscent of the deflector assembly of a Buran-class cruiser and is color coded based on its active transformation mode - Science or Tactical. In addition to its sleek profile, the Titan features an encased "infinity mirror" deflector design.
Luna class Mirror	SKIN UNLOCK: Mirror Luna Deep Space Science Vessel, A Tier 5 Mirror universe counterpart of the Luna.

Abilities

Sensor Analysis

Sensor Analysis is an active toggle ability. While maintaining a Sensor Lock on a target, the player gains a stacking effect that either improves the damage and power drain against an enemy, or improves any heal directed towards an ally. This effect stacks every 3 seconds, to a maximum of 6 stacks after 18 continuous seconds. To maintain the desired effect, the player must hold the sensor lock.

• Sensor Analysis

Subsystem Targeting

The Fleet Comet-class Reconnaissance Science Vessel comes with built-in Subsystem Targeting abilities. These built-in abilities stay at Rank I and do not automatically rank up when acquiring higher tier Science starships. They are separate from Subsystem Targeting abilities gained through Tactical Space Bridge officer abilities.

• Target Auxiliary Subsystems I
• Target Weapons Subsystems I
• Target Engines Subsystems I
• Target Shields Subsystems I

Activating a subsystem targeting ability will upgrade all energy weapons to inflict a stacking power drain on the foe's targeted subsystem for the next 10 seconds. They will also have a small chance to knock the targeted subsystem offline for a short duration.
