as she said you have that selection, that's just 23 ships on the T2 line plus SoE. You even have the entire T1 frigate line along with rookie and shuttles if you just need something cheap and you don't like investing. Overall that's nearly 50 different ships.

You can't have exactly "everything" on a single ship class... much less a single ship. If such a ship class did exist then other ship classes that can only do one or two of those "scout" things would be obsolete.


However... Covert-Ops ships (not Stealth Bombers) do come pretty close to what you want. They are cloaky, fast, and have higher than normal frigate warp speed.

Also... a nimble T1 frigate can easily run as a +1 for a fleet. "Scouting" as a concept is so abstract that you can do it in pretty much anything fast OR cloaky... regardless of class.

How did you Veterans start?

I can't formulate a response to this....

It's like 1/3 of the ships in Eve don't exist for this guy or something...

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

A cloaky cruiser with frigate agility and faster warp speed?

Have you tried some sort of nano recon/t3? Or, perhaps, not asking for something that would obsolete entire ship lines?
