Concept for Covert Carrier

All main line of ships have a covert version, Covert Ops for Frigates, Recons for Cruisers, and Black Ops for Battleships. With the upcoming changes that will be approaching with capitals in the future why not put in a new advanced class for some of the most loved ships in the game the Capitals. I have had this idea in my head for some time now and have even ranted about it on comms with fellow corpies. I am no expert in creating the hard numbers for the exact stats but the bonus' and the overall idea is my starting point.

Spec Ops Capital

The over all idea of this ship is that it is a new way to enjoy the use of the covert ops cloak and and covert cyno. This is a super tanked support vessel. It has no offensive capabilities what so ever but can use Links and is interdiction nullified. It can only jump to covert cynos. With this ship comes a very unique new addition to the game. At base skill level It can hold 5 ships fo the same family up to cruiser size (Covert Ops,Recon, Strat With Covert Mod) that are piloted. (Yes I Said Piloted) The Pilots of these ships while docked in the Spec Ops Capital see a small station style interior of their ship with no clue as to what is going on outside besides the word of the Spec Ops Pilot and chat windows. The ship itself would have less base HP than a normal Carrier by about 20%.

The Exit Strategy
With this ship we can also have a new deployable called The Exit Strategy Technical Name is Mobile Cyno Beacon. This Deployable is a remotely activated covert cyno beacon that can be placed in a staging system of the pilots choice. You do have to fuel it and can only hold enough fuel for one activation. So be careful with its use. It is only useable to the person who deploys it. It is able to be scanned down. It should have a m3 size that is roughly the same as a an MTU.

I think that an addition of something similar to these could be a great content generator.

So all in all tell me what you think, troll me into oblivion, praise my innovative thinking, or make suggestions. I like reading posts, you like reading posts, lets do it together.

It would be awesome if you could fit capital blasters on it + siege

OP... bear in mind that not even Black-Ops Battleships can use Covert-Ops cloaks (they can't warp cloaked... at all) and they are not interdiction nullified.

But they also have offensive capabilities this does not. No drones no weapons.

Don't feel bad, CCP has the same problem.

Also, -1 on this idea, completely OP

Nice troll, you've mentioned all the aspects that usually trigger flames ^^

The jump drive capability is already a very powerful weapon, giving them another weapon like the covert cloak would be way way too much and would result in very broken gameplay.

no turret or launcher hardpoints and no dronebay... I think people are missing this...

see i knew someone would understand
