some thoughts on how to fix black ops. working on a major hangover right now so its probably a bunch of bad ideas but here goes.

Make cov ops cynos work in hisec. after all real black ops, much like the honey badger don't care if they are breaking the local laws. add a penilaty though. as soon as the cov ops ships uncloak they get a 15 min suspect flag. additionally the black ops bs would get a 15 min suspect flag and the ship that lit the cov ops cyno would get a 15 min criminal flag. A smart cov ops fleet would not affected by these flags too much but we all know not all fleets are smart ones. could also make lighting and brideing a cov ops cyno in hisec take up more fuel .

a new tech 2 cov ops carrier. can fit a cov ops cloak but only 5 unbonused fighters, mega nerf the sma and cargo hold as to not make it op with logistics. give it 2 bonused bomb launchers or 4 bonused torp launchers (not capital torp launchers). but not the ability to use both at once. cant be used in hisec.

also have some ideas about making bombs work in hi and low sec but they are probably really bad lol.

bombs useable in hisec and in lowsec however if they explode within 7500 of a gate or station they do no damage. also you get a 15 min criminal flag even if they do no damage to anything. If they hit a non wt, suspect, or criminal you get concorded.

yes miners would whine horribly and it would be glorious however to help quell their tears we could add a module for an orca which would give a temporary pos shield effect. a 10km bubble for 10 seconds. would drain all the cap in the orca, make it immobile for 30 seconds, and you need 85% cap to use it. recharge would have to be over 30 seconds as well. also like the bombs to counter griefing you would not be able to use it within 10km of a station or gate. also would probably have to balance it so you couldn't starburst non corp members.

please post all positive or negative feedback and or hate mail :) like i said im sure these ideas suck but i think they would be fun.
