When BlOps came out I had wet dreams of battleships with covert ops cloaking devices. I've gone back and forth between OMGOP and OMGIWANTONE. So, I was just curious on what everyone else thought on the idea of a BS platform that could use a covert ops cloaking device. Viable? OMGOP? Pipedream?

Just curious.

I think they would be fun as hell. Probably see a lot more use than cap ships do, and they still pop reasonably easy.
As for OP: Everyone has the same opportunity to train and use them, but I know damn well that some people would cry like little girls if it happens.

Remember... this is the game where they thought a Drake was OP What?

They do, they just lack enough weapons to make use of it as well as they could or should. But a nice trade off would be to warp while cloaked. To either warp cloaked or have a couple more weapons. I'm sure it would throw everything into turmoil, bake peoples brains Big smile

I'm in it for the money

When they came out (pre-Tiericide and pre-HML nerf), they were. Not so much anymore.

A cov't Cloak BS would be amazingly fun.

As long as they are rather fragile I don't see anything wrong with cov ops cloak black ops battleships. The things that make black ops gangs annoying don't really have much to do with the actual cloaking devices.

The vast majority of a BlOp's power is in the other things it can do... normalizing it to also use the covert cloak (it is kind of silly it cant considering the entire point of it) won't make it OP at all.
