I just read that cover mining frigate - Prospect can jump trough and fitt covert cynosural generator as well as blocade runners.
But there is no ORE ship capable to fitt and use an jump portal. And I ask myself why the hell miners shouldn't have their own covert mining operation deep in enemy space ?

The basic for the idea is that prospec find a place in for examle Deep, not used part of 0.0 space for example trough W-H, and call for friends, but not trough w-h, that is not so reliable for transport numerous, heavy ORE ships, but refit trough mobile Depot to cynosural COVERT generator, and folks jump or bridge trough it mine a bistot/crokite, and when full ore bays put a POS and copress ores, jump back to empire. All operation takes max 30 minutes, so is highly probable that nobody would never know about it exept participants.
The ORE blackops should have high range to reach such unused deepspace.

So there is an idea. To remove exploits like using this method to moving modules and resources exept ore, all "jumpable/bridgeable" ships should have small cargo, and vast ore bay

That would mean killing the cargo bay size of every covert ops ship.

I am all for new ships and tactics.

However, a ship already exists with these capabilities it is called a Rorqual. It just doesn't use a covert cyno and can't make a jump bridge. However, you can get the same effect with a Rorqual and a Black Ops battleship.

True, but you have to admit that a T2 black ops Orca would be totally hot.

The miner bridge module could have restrictions to pass only ORE ships or something like that.

Totaly miner character would not/should not train battleships to lvl 5 - they could and should have an alternative like this.

It would be a nice addition to high sec miners, after the shortage of zydrine an mexallon - not obtainable in high and low sec systems right now
