Hi i have been brainstorming recently on forming a gang of around 8-12 ships to form a Covert Ops Cloak Gang. I have never been in or saw a gang like this so its pretty new to me. I want the gang to have a large portion of SBs ( i love flying those little bastards) but need help filling out the rest of the squad. I obviously want the squad to be pretty quick so nothing larger than a cruiser. I was thinking something like....



6 - Nemesis

4 - Arazu

2 - Helios


Seems to me this would give us plenty of DPS and tackle. Anything small would be taken care of by the Arazu and the Helios would obviously be for scanning down people. Like i said i don't have much experience with covert ops, my main just finished training for SB so any advice would be helpful thank you.

Try to find a corp that specializes in Covert Ops/Black Ops tactics, and go from there.

Not sure if it suits you, but try to join "Bombers bar" chat channel. There people run PUG black ops fleets (support stuff like actual BlOps briging, BR bomb truck and force recons are ocasionally included).

You'll want 8 stealth bombers. 8 Bombs in the maximum you can launch in a single wave, and having at least one wave of bombs would be nice.

Just one or two Arazu should be enough to point what you need pointed. You probably shouldn't engage more than two or three ships without bombs, in which case you don't need the extra arazu. Helios will be useful, and if you have the resources, adding a black ops battleship and T3 combo for hot drops, and an interdictor complete with micro and cloak would also do a lot to increase your effectiveness.

Rapier for webs and painter would also help in a SB gang. A Arazu and Rapier complement each other brilliantly.
