you are confusing a Covops scout with a force recon... if you try to drop with a covops it will get blapped, or it will have to drop offgrid and the locals will gtfo before the gang lands on the target grid. a force recon can cloak, point, ewar, light cyno, survive the blap, and with proper skills it can even probe.

and as far as what cov ops are supposed to do, probe people and scout, the Helios is currently OP, thanks to the stupid amnt of mids for scanning mods and its 4 second warp using a single nano instead of 2 like the buzzard, cheetah and anathema.

people that have been long time users of buzzards and anas are jumping on the helios now.


Depending on personal skill of pilots and timing you can use Covert ops ship. I personally use a Arazu as they can point and dampen from a good range making the target a sitting duck.

I have to agree they need to remove a mid slot as they also have the drones. Give them 10 capacity and 10 bandwidth remove a mid slot and I'd be happy with them. Makes them more inline with the others.


I use the helios and agree with this but perhaps 10Mb isn't enough to make up for the loss of that precious mid slot. 20 would do it...if you knocked the bonus down a peg. Remember, you can't just shoot the rocket launcher off of the buzzard

The covops class is probably the best balances ship class ever...
It doesnt need any changes whatsoever.

Giving the helios more drones is a very horrible idea.
