==Summary==
== Summary ==
The covert ops frigates have few differences, but the cheetah is slightly faster and more maneuverable than the rest, while having a below par capacitor. Its speed makes it the ideal covert ops frigate for creating tactical bookmarks and maneuvering behind enemies on grid for fleet warps and hotdrops. But the speed comes at a price. Its powergrid is lesser than that of the Anathema and Helios, its CPU and capacitor is the lowest of all four covert ops frigates, and it possesses four, instead of five, mid-slots. Consequently, a Cheetah needs more advanced fitting skills or an extra fitting module to achieve the same versatility as the other covert ops frigates.

==Tactics==
'''Version 20.07 - Build: 2086561 - 2022-08-09'''
''No sub-article about Cheetah roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
* Aquired -> Acquired in ship description

* Added 1 Low Slot (current total: 4)
* Changed the 5% bonus to Small Projectile Turret damage to -15% capacitor need to initiate warp per level
* Changed the 10% bonus to Small Projectile Turret optimal range to 5% bonus to cloaked velocity per level
 
'''YC118.8 v.1.0 – Build: 1077233 – 13.09.16'''
