==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.

== Skills ==
* It is essential to train {{Sk|Cloaking}} to IV in order to use the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II.
* {{Sk|Astrometrics|IV}}, {{Sk|Astrometric Acquisition|III}}, {{Sk|Astrometric Pinpointing|III}} and {{Sk|Astrometric Rangefinding|III}} make a good skills base for scanning.
 
== Tactics ==
''No sub-article about Cheetah roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
 
== Notes ==
The Cheetah (much like any covops) is cloak tanked. So despite rumors to the contrary, use of shields, or armor tank mods isn't needed. Rule #1: If you've been pointed in a Cheetah, you've done something very wrong.

*[[Astrometrics]] IV, [[Astrometric Acquisition]] III, [[Astrometric Pinpointing]] III and [[Astrometric Rangefinding]] III make a good skills base for scanning.
'''Version 22.02 - [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-22-02 Patch 2025-03-12.1]'''
* Base warp speed changed to 5 AU/s
* 60% bonus to warp speed and warp acceleration


==Fitting==
'''Version 20.07 - Build: 2086561 - 2022-08-09'''

''No sub-article about Cheetah roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
* 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'''
* Ship Model Redesign
 
'''Februrary 2016 v.1.0 – Build: 1012752 – 09.02.16'''
* Duct tape to the rescule! The middle right booster on the Minmatar Frigates Probe and Cheetah is now aligned correctly.
