I really don't think that SOE is going to fix the Recon missions bug where they fail quite often when you reach the initial waypoint provided. Instead of leaving these missions in place to tempt us to try them I suggest that this mission type be removed from the game so we can choose a type that is more likely to succeed. What? No weapon skills? Too bad, this game was made for fighters, you are screwed.

I may very well agree with you, friend.
I've taken some Recon missions, and in each one I arrived at the halo of light(Tm) and after that...nothing.
Of course, i was not foolish enough to continue taking them for fear of them being bugged again.
Once I even reported this via /bug command.
Meh, I suppose they'll fix this when the get around to it.
Until then, no more recon missions for me....

Personally, I like having atype mission that falls under "scouting" more than "search and destroy".Even in the military,scoutsand/or rangersare often used to gather information on theenemy without revealingtheir presence. Just because recon missions are bugged doesn't mean they should be replaced with another version of "kill the wozzle". When the missions do actuallywork, it can bea refreshingchallenging to sneak up on slaver/etc campand not get spotted. Trust me this, is possible if you are observant and have a little patience.

Storm,
I've had mixed success with the Recon missions, but I don't think that removing them is the best option. Murder laws don't always stop murder but removing them isn't a good idea right? 
Anyway, the game isn't all about combat either - there are some Scouts who don't have that many combat skills. Me, for example, right now. Recon missions are okay, but there are other missions that don't require combat.
I want to keep pushing the Recon mission problem. I think we can get it fixed - or at least figure out what is causing it.
