Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi all, and merry christmas everyone

First thing, english is not my native language :)

I will write about Black ops ,this will be very short just a little brainstorming. This ship get some changes soon, throwing the cloacked velocity bonus etc

What about 2 different Black ops like recon ships or command ships ?

One BO would be specialized for opening portals with better fuel consumption per lvl and bridge bonus or smallar cargo but bigger fuel bay

other BO would be specialized for combat, less defence, faster and less penalty for scan resolution when you fit cloacking device, better damage output, smaller fuel bay bigger cargo or drone bay and like this


and everyone can choose the style of black ops

Thats all, thanx for reading

Yes that right too, not really easy but something like that or just close to this would nice

Actually if I remember correctly CPP was thinking about the idea of Combat and Assault BO, similar to battlecruisers.

Key things:

- covert ops cloak, say what you want, until you have this, you'll stay as taxi, simple as that
- T2 resists or even T3 subsystems system, the ships are soo expensive, yet so fragile
- something that recons can't do, apart from bridging
- change Sin into drone/logi boat
- anchorable covert cynos, so you don't have to juggle with your alts all the time? would be just nice +

Hmm, what else? Let them fit 2 bomb launchers :o

I fixed my post. Had some bad wording.

1. because you don't warp to your gank-target, you jump directly to them once they're tackled. Durr.
2. Why would you use blops instead of the typical t1/navy/pirate/marauder BS ?
3. Two bombers do the same DPS as a lot of ships for a fraction of the price, your point?

This thread has been moved to Features & Ideas Discussion.

Personally I do not get the fear CCP has of giving battleships cov ops cloaks. That's the first thing I'd do to make blops more than a taxi service.

Issues is BLOPS can be very capable ships....if flown and fit right. While many cannot unlock their potential, ccp has over time seen what happens for the few who can as they are now (as they have been basically unchanged since the quick fix with jump changes they had).


While BLOPS are lacking in some areas (not going to argue this point, they need some love), many crews in the past have run blops gangs to very good affect. Even "gimped" by not having a CO cloak and other limitations.

If they cared enough, or someone paid them enough to care, to attack a crew burn eden's blop gangs were many things....ineffective was not one of them.

When ccp changes they factor in how will this be tweaked and twisted by the player base. Blops in the past for the few who worked out good doctrines were very painful. CO cloak would jsut make this more so for even the crews who cba to put more effort and isk (as I will grant crews like BE and some others blops fits weren't cheap, very shiny in fact) to work themn better.

Or ccp would have to field what goes away. for this I'd see no cloak delay going away. i would not be happy with this change . As my blops is widow atm I'd have to fight decloak delay and lock time based on it being a BS. Even in falcons the decloak delay + lock time can be seconds of waiting I don't enjoy. I don't think I'd be alone in this as in the many threads about CO cloaking for blops you get other BLOPS pilots who don't even want this as well.
