We already have a nice lineup of covert ships with the exception of one role;
Scout (covert ops frigates)
EWar (Recon Cruisers)
Brawlers (Stealth Bombers)
Generalist (T3s)
But we are missing Attack role covert ops ships a nice opportunity for black ops to fill.

a sufficient number of Falcons would render that hole obsolete since the enemy will die anyway.

A sufficient number of rookie ships will take down a Titan, that does not mean that we don't need any other kind o ships.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

How you going to keep it tackled?


Anyway, I'd like to see something like a Covert Hic. Maybe a destroyer able to mount an infinipoint (no bubble), so that BLOPs gangs can tackle Supers. #DeathtoAllSupers

Not tanky enough to be useful in regular fleets (b/c destroyer hull), but enough that a Super's fighters would have some trouble killing it before the rest of the gang killed the fighters.

Point being, "blob tactics" could be used to counter any valid argument.

Just my two cents on a possible Blockade Runner rebalance... For the life of me, I cannot come up with a situation any additional med-slot other than the one holding the MWD, can actually save me in any situation I am being engaged.

Thus: If you add one high-slots take away a med-slot. And while you are at it, remove all med-slots but one to add slots as low-slots. Voila, Blockaderunner balance fini. Oh, and give all BR 166 pgu at Engineering 5. :P

Edit: Now that I think about it: 125 tf cpu is also enough... Twisted

Just to mention it again: with the increased bridge range and the ability to cyno in jammed systems the power projection has become even worth. Dozens of systems in range to anywhere and a single player can harass hole systems as you can't possible scout such many systems and protecting against unknown numbers doesn't work.

So please work on cloaking mechanics to get the power back to the active player not the one leaving his character logged in just because he can.

It's pretty good fun reading all these posts about BLOPS being underpowered, yet you could all look on the PL killboard on how retardedly good they are right now.

I did and saw that most of you BLOPs fleet was Redeemers and Panthers, I could see about 22 ships of that 16~18 were them.
Edit: IT was a nice fleet though, and I do not mean to discredit those two ships in any way, but it blops were given better combat bonuses I have a feeling that your fleet would have been a little more diverse.

As was mentioned in the CCP Rise thread I think a case could be made for making BLOPs BS have a stronger EW role. In fact I believe they should be the only BS variant that has a strong racial EW role, which means the Scorpion should be repurposed into an Attack class BS.

If this were done they would be just as handy as they currently are in their covert hot drop role (especially if their tracking ability and tanking ability is augmented a bit), and they might possibly begin to find a role in traditional Null Sec fleet engagements as well... which would be most welcome to the class.
