to be honest... blops only need a tiny boost to be awesome.

A bit more range, a bit larger fuel bay, and have it use a tiny bit less fuel, thats ALL it needs.

Anyone asking for a cov ops cloak, it ain't going to happen, nor should it.

their role is to bridge people into covert cynos, I don't really see how you could boost that besides Jita Squatter's ideas. Buffing their combat ability is arguably more pointless than buffing the badger's. Though I would not be opposed to a tier 3 transport ship, the Honey Badger.

Lol, being a carebear.... I KNOW this is going to bite me in the ass if it happens, but it would be kinda awesome if cov ops cynos would be allowed in hisec.

im sure we'd see a LARGE increase in blops use if that came to happen.

I'm unsure about the application, though. There are no organized alliances with sensitive, vulnerable assets that they will fight tooth an nail to keep hostile eyes and guns away from. Doing it for the transport ships would be iffy, I think CCP would sooner allow standard cynos for JFs only.

JFs are only ever at risk when they're taking gates - allowing cynos for them in high-sec would be far too much of a buff to them.

I tend to agree with you.... but dangit, let a carebear dream.

Edit: carebear in question is me.

well, for a carebear, you actually seem to have quite a good grasp about how ships you likely have never been exposed to work. so keep dreaming, space cowboy.

maybe i dont understand the word carebear then..... I'm a player that rarely pvps and i enjoy the industrial/trade aspect most in this game. I figured that alone would qualify me as a carebear.

tho i DO enjoy living in dangerous areas. I have lived in both nullsec and WH space. I own a black ops but i have ONLY used it to jump blockade runners around. I own a jumpfreighter, but wish i had 3 more...

What am i missing?

I'd call you a battlebear.

You're the kind of player every single sov-holding alliance in eve needs several dozen of. The guys with the means and the balls to haul goods from high no null constantly, keeping markets stocked and flowing, and getting rich off of reasonable deals in bulk. You're also every recruitment scammer's wet dream though, so stay smart if you ever moved into the wild west permanently.

Ahem *puts on psychologist glasses*

'Carebear' is a state of mentality. Not necessary related with your occupation.

*takes glasses off*

PS. I got two different types of black ops that could do with a bit more jump range.

black ops need more ships. CCP could do a lot of work with this class. They could use some new ships (cruisers?), and like stated above: increased jump range.

T3 ships can no longer jump via covert cynos anymore, since... months ago. black ops staked again.


but BO fleets are expensive and most times useless/fail if they're trapped or loose logistic support. right now they're ok for gorilla hits, but this whole class could make do with new tiers of ships and tech (Not any more ECM/jamming spam that is [no t3 falcons]).

bridge transport ships past Niarja^^

I could see covops cynos being used a lot in empire wars - use a neutral cyno pilot and drop a squad of stealthbombers on unsuspecting targets, aggressed station campers. ...

SBs are just really, really crappy missile boats in highsec though, and empire warfare isn't really warfare at all. Also, making it easy for highseccers to take safe shortcuts kind of breaks the game.
