Does a black ops fleet that jumps in, jump back out again after the fight? Or do they have to travel through the gates to get back to where they came from?

Depends on how much fuel they have and how far there going I would guess.

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

So what your saying is my widow SHOULD get a range and ecm and ecm burst bounus? ok!
Also lots of the pie ships now have one of there races ewar as a bounus, so what they weren't like that the hole time, they should change back.


they mainly changed the bonus to the weapon systems.

Its should be clear to all that the Black Op is still in prenerf form like how lots of stuff usta be release in the olde times of EvE.
The other members of its tree have better resist and higher scan rez than there T1 counter parts.


the first part is new to me if you have a link to a dev saying they release ships in a prenerfed mode i would like to read it.
i can not understand anything for prenerf and on sorry.

Also only HAC's, AF's always keep there T1 bonuses, the rest get a change up, that or just my logi in my hanger is missing its sweet mining bonus.


told you go check it out, but no....
launch eve. open market and look at the t2 ships, as i said there are some exceptions.

Just because recons can already use it dose not mean more or different types of Ewar in the fleet would be bad, never had my Falcon turned down form a fleet because there was a Lachesis or an other Falcon for that matter.


never had a falcon turned down sure that ship can pretty much fit in any fleet comp. (though i know one fc that turned down a falcon on a frig roam and told the guys to bring kitsune)
but how about a rook? or better yet how about a scorp?
the only bs size ew platform in game is the scorp and lets face it, it is not that great, you would rather be in a falcon then a scorp in most cases. and for that same reason you wouldnt want black ops to replace your ew in gang.
not saying that it will hurt having it there or anything like that. just saying that there are dedicated ships for that, which will outpreform them in most cases while costing way less and requier less training.

That IS with a faction cloak. Although, it's not like it matters. The difference between Faction and T2 is like 91mm vs 96mm. Woop-de-do.

Don't fit a cloak. I'm serious. It gimps the fit and takes a utility high that has better uses.

Without a cloak, a Scorpion is a whole entire hull with a better use than a Widow.

The Scorpion has a jump drive and a 30% ECM strength bonus? Really?

Quite literally depending upon ship type and fitting. I know for a fact its higher. Pirate

If you are using the Widow as a Covert Bridge, no one cares how low the scan res is. Fit a cloak so it doesn't get killed so easily.

If you are using it as a ECM platform, why? Even without a cloak, it has terrible scan res, just like all battleship EWAR platforms. Bridge in 3 Falcons. Way more effective. Three Falcons can probably out-DPS a Widow, too.

The Widow should get the ECM Burst range bonus. That's the only change I can think of that would make it worthwhile to fit anything but a cloak and a bridge to a Widow (not counting epeen value of having Widow on KM, which is of course, priceless for some and a waste of time for others).

Black ops dont need buffing. They fille a niche playstyle and if that doesnt appeal to you, dont fly it

black ops are not solo pwn ships, supers currently are... black ops are horrible broken. Unfortualy we always have forum trolls saying all black op are so awesome as the redeemer, witch might be the only correct functioning one (not including jump stuffs)


This man speaks the truth.

Though I did swap my redeemer out for a shield tanked panther. Can pretty much out run anything but the usual angel/minie nano stuff.

I think most of the people saying B-ops are OP, are those that gets greifed by them, aka people that want afk cloaking and the like nerfed so they can rat/mine in peace in null sec. With other words the usual turds that run away at the first sign of trouble.


Seconded, except that that's not griefing, that's 100% legitimate game-play. Not that griefing these nullsec carebear-turds is a bad thing, eitherTwisted

Reduce build cost by 1/3 , tweak jump range upwards.

Job done.

I know that you guys really do the black ops thing effectively and with dedication, cuz I've seen y'all do it, but even so you have to admit that black ops have problems. If nothing else they need way better range and fuel usage, or at the very least it would be nice.

And given just how common titans are nowerdays and how much better the regular bridge is... It's just painful to deal with the restrictions on black ops portals. It takes a lot of dedication to use black ops bridges effectively, and even if you do use it effectively, most of the time you would have been better off using a conventional gang. Everything you portal is so fragile that even with huge amounts of ewar, there's a fair chance of losing a few ships unless you are pouncing onto solo guys. And even if you ARE jumping on single people, needing a tackler and a cyno on top of him ups the effort needed by quite a lot.

Everything about black ops ships just needs so much effort to make them work, and the results are seldom spectacular. The only genuinely effective uses for black ops is gate-crashing a fleet fight in a cyno-jammed system, and tbh any other way of getting bombers in is just as effective.

I wouldn't mind hearing from ccp on this either, at least just a bit of communication on the subject.
