Scouting is the act of moving ahead of a fleet, providing information as to the state of the next location, or following the fleet one jump behind, to identify any pursuing targets. These are commonly called a +1 (plus one) or -1 (minus one) scout as they are one system ahead or behind the operating fleet. They are not required to be [[Frigate#Covert Ops Frigate|Covert Ops Frigate]] ([[Frigate#Interceptor|Interceptors]] are most commonly used, though sometimes a T2 battlecruiser, aka BAIT, can be used as well). | Scouting is the act of moving ahead of a fleet, providing information as to the state of the next location, or following the fleet one jump behind, to identify any pursuing targets.

Scouts may fly a T2 [[Frigate#Covert Ops Frigate|Covert Ops Frigate]] with a Covert Ops Cloak *IF and ONLY IF* they are certified by Intel (former BG certifications are no longer valid, pending review). Certified CovOps scouts may use a Faction Probe Launcher at their discretion. Scouts must be attached to a fleet at all time - scouting solo is prohibited - and scouts should not engage in combat at any time. Covert Ops frigate pilots should maintain their cloak at all times. Non-certified pilots in Covert Ops frigates during wartime will be subject to the same violations procedure as those flying restricted ships. | Scouts may fly a T2 [[Frigate#Covert Ops Frigate|Covert Ops Frigate]] with a Covert Ops Cloak *IF and ONLY IF* they are certified by Intel (former BG certifications are no longer valid, pending review).
