==Summary==
== Summary ==
It is difficult to fill the Buzzard's mid slots without running out of CPU or using co-processors, making it perform below average for a lower skilled pilot, but for a pilot with {{sk|Covert Ops|V}} and top notch fitting skills it can be the best in its class.

* It is essential to train {{sk|Cloaking|IV}} in order to use the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II. The Buzzard, like any Covert Ops frigate, should not be undocked without this module fitted.
*{{sk|Astrometrics|IV}}, {{sk|Astrometric Acquisition|III,}} {{sk|Astrometric Pinpointing|III}} and {{sk|Astrometric Rangefinding|III}} make a good skills base for scanning.
* {{sk|Astrometrics|IV}}, {{sk|Astrometric Acquisition|III,}} {{sk|Astrometric Pinpointing|III}} and {{sk|Astrometric Rangefinding|III}} make a good skills base for scanning.
* {{sk|Covert Ops|IV}} is nearly essential to make fitting the Buzzard possible (due to the enormous reduction in CPU diverted to the cloak once this skill is trained), and {{sk|Covert Ops|V}} allows significantly more fitting flexibility.

''You can write additional notes for Buzzard here.''
"Buzzard" is a generic name applied to a wide range of birds of prey. The common European buzzard is a fairly large raptor with distinctive "spread-finger" wingtip feathers; it spends much of its time perched, watching its environment attentively.
