Black Ops battleships (also "BLOPs") are designed for covert operations behind enemy lines. For that they have the ability to [[jump]], [[Jump drives#Bridging|bridge]], and conduit jump to any [[cyno]] especially [[Jump_drives#Covert_Cynosural_Fields|covert cynos]]. Black Ops gameplay usually means: jump in, kill the target, get safe, jump out.

Black Ops battleships (also "BLOPs") are designed for covert operations behind enemy lines. For that they have the ability to [[jump]], [[Jump drives#Bridging|bridge]], and [[conduit jump]] to any [[cyno]] especially [[Jump_drives#Covert_Cynosural_Fields|covert cynos]]. Black Ops gameplay usually means: jump in, kill the target, get safe, jump out.

Covert cynos help a lot with stealthy movements in hostile space as they are not systemwide visible like hard cynos.

Line 120:

The [[Astero]] and [[Metamorphosis]] are classified as Frigates rather than Covert Ops, and thus they are the only ships that can be put into a Frigate escape bay with a Covert Ops Cloaking Device fitted.

Oddly you can put a [[Venture]] in a frigate escape bay as it is a Frigate too, and it is ~~the~~ only ~~ship~~ that can be put into a Frigate escape bay with a built in +2 warp core strength. It, however, has a longer align time than most frigates, and it is ill-advised to push a Venture in a battleship.

Oddly you can put a [[Venture]] in a frigate escape bay as it is a Frigate too, and it is one of only two ships that can be put into a Frigate escape bay with a built in +2 warp core strength (the other being the [[Metamorphosis]]). It, however, has a longer align time than most frigates, and it is ill-advised to push a Venture in a battleship.

If a frigate is inside the bay when the pilot ejects from the battleship, either the battleship is destroyed or a manual ejection is committed, the pilot will be ejected ''in the frigate'' instead of their capsule.
