Black Ops battleships are designed for infiltration and espionage behind enemy lines. With the use of a short-range jump drive and a portal generator, they are capable of making a special type of jump portal usable only by covert ops vessels. This enables them to stealthily plant reconnaissance and espionage forces in enemy territory. For the final word in clandestine maneuvers, look no further.

it works exellent as a smartbombing bubble camper... just put some stabs, cap rech mods, ecm burst and 7 large faction smartbombs on and your good to go... you can kill most small stuff upto destroyers. Assault frigs are not duable. Lots of fun and the best part is that you dont even have to decloak those pesky cov ips to kill them Pirate

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?

If you think the Panther is terrible you should learn to use it.

I re-considered my toughts and now believe that to balance Black Ops to the almighty Covert Ops Titans they should be able to warp cloaked too. Also, I will stop playing EvE and try this new WoW thing.

we're all happy to hear you're leaving.

And I am sad about your sarcasm recognition skills.

Covert Cynos are restricted to the most paper ship classes in the game. You cannot effectively hotdrop with covert cynos without losing your scout. With regular cynos its not a problem. Tech 1 frigs are easy to replace. Try doing it with covert ops frigs or a force recons.


Many times I've seen rapiers/falcons being the cyno's for capital hotdrops. Reason being, they're not paper thin. You can get over 63k EHP on a falcon, still having a MWD and point. 57k on a rapier.

Titans are not paper thin. Not even a little bit.

This entire topic amuses me.. many moons ago the black ops sucked worse than they do now before they boosted the cov cloaky ships and gave BO's fuel bays.. that was back before the stealth bombers had cov cloaks.

If you know how to use a black ops, they're very very dangerous. The key is knowing your ship and its abilities.

Confirming there's nothing more dangerous than that random dude/s you engage and suddenly get hotdrop by a swarm of those...thing is that you never know unless known cyno beatches of course. But it's a fair game, they can be countered by counter hotdrop that delivers tasty km's and tears Lol

How about letting Black Ops ships equip Covert Ops cloaks, but change the Covert Ops cloaks so that any warship over cruiser size gives off too strong a signature to fully mask while in warp, so that ships withing 100 km can detect them.

Thus to approach a hostile fleet without blowing your cover you would need to warp to another fleet member (presumably in a Covert Ops ship) or to a bookmark so you land over 100 km away. Then manoeuver in at normal speed to get into position. This would allow Black Ops ships to get into position without blowing their cover, but require some time and effort for them to do so.

Would that be too OP? I don’t fly Black Ops, so I am not sure. I sort of see them as being like the U-Boats in WWII.

Who needs tank when you've got ECM and full-speed align while cloaked? Widow is pretty decent if you know how to use it.

Just the other day I helped some bros bypass an RA gate camp and ninja their recently cleansed neo moon.
