The section with CovOps Fits have broken links. Need new options for links.

== Desiderata ==

In my view this page is good but also needs significant reworking, e.g.

* Disorganization: why is there a section called just "Scouting" on a page called "Scouting"??

* Accuracy/utility: covops frigates are, indeed, a vital scouting ship in wormholes/Poch, and useful in some niches elsewhere, but in large areas of space it's more normal at the time of writing to use interceptor scouts. We should be discussing

* Page tries to take on tasks which might be better handled elsewhere on other pages, e.g. relatively detailed discussion of Mumble use

* Unclear purpose: is this about how to scout for Uni fleets in highsec, EVE's most boring and weirdest kind of space (see the page's notes on undocking with wartargets in local!), how to scout for Uni fleets, or about scouting in EVE in general? Both are valuable topics; the latter will be of more use to everyone (including Uni scouts when they move on to their next corp). We could have the page do both but must be clear at each point what's under discussion.

It's possible that stepping back and redesigning the page structure from the ground up—keeping what material we can, of course—might be a good idea.
