Covert Cyno/Bridge Question

Just a question on the mechanics.

1) Can a cov-ops ship without the cloak equipped/onlined use a covert bridge?

ie. A rapier with no cloak, or a buzzard with no cloak, can they still use the jump portal?

2) Can covert or regular cynos be lit inside deadspace complexes?

Thanks. :)

1) yes

2) not sure, but you can light it but cant jump to it if it is gated.

1) CovOps is basically a tag assigned to the ship itself. Part of that long list of stats is a marker meaning "Can this use a CovOp Bridge". So yes, anything that could use a CovOps cloak can use the bridge, whether or not they have a cloak fitted at the time.

2) As Elli stated, if you light a cyno inside a gated pocket, the ship will likely arrive at the gate instead of inside the pocket with you. Same as trying to warp to a fleetmate inside a pocket, you land on the gate instead.

For what it is worth, the magic is: Jump Harmonics = 2 (there are no ships with 3 yet).

Your question has allready been answered but I would just like to add a few things about black ops. My killboard has some nice sol black ops kills, I've been too busy with rl work to even log last 2 weeks though.

One thing to note is that it is not always mandatory to fit a cloak to a black ops. I have at times removed my cloak for the sake of having both a neut and a smart bomb on my redeemer. The best thing about the black ops is its ability to ignore gate camps and jump straight to your pve fit prey. A redeemer is more than capable of taking on faction battle ships if they are pve fit. Black ops are also more agile than your t1 be and feel more like battlecruizeri

I have yet to use my bopsfore cov bridge as I'm using it solo along side a cloaky jump too. Sorry for typo using phone.

Blackops Battleships can be quite expensive, but extremely powerful- when used in great numbers...

1)yes, but why would you not want to fit a cov ops cloak on your cov ops ship?

2) no, can't light a cyno in a deadspace pocket gated or not.. Wormholes as well.

Seems some guys around are whining because Blops are (from their point of view) underpowered blahblahblah.
More jumping/bridging range? -yes
Less fuel cost per ship/bigger fuel bay? -yes

Everything else just like you said, Blops are extremely powerful. But seems a lot of dudes are trying to solo with Roll

Don't forget BlOps are the only member of the CovOps family, that can't use a CovOps.

Even the Bombers were eventually invited into the club.
