== Notes on Covops Operations and Scouting: ==

~~Firstly, please note that I'm not an experienced scout - this post contains the things I've learnt to date,~~ and ~~more experienced~~ scouts ~~may want to correct anything I've gotten wrong~~. ~~But I have~~ learnt ~~this stuff~~ in ~~dribs and drabs so far and thought others might appreciate having some of it written down. This~~ document ~~also concentrates on covops scouting - that is~~, ~~covops ships (tech 2 frigates) with proper tech 2 covops cloaks (~~or those crazy cloaked weapons platforms, the stealth bombers, if you must). You can start out with smaller frigates with prototype cloaks, but as they can't warp while cloaked a lot of this won't really apply.

This page gives some information for scouts and budding scouts. It is a distillation of lessons learnt while in the Uni, but is not an official document from an official intel member, so may or may not be 100% accurate or complete.

~~Note also~~, ~~this document is aimed at high-sec scouting~~, ~~as I have no real experience in low-sec~~ or 0.~~0 yet. Particularly~~ in 0.~~0, bubbles and~~ gate ~~camps will change the way you operate -~~ but by that ~~stage you should know more about what you're doing anyway~~

This page concentrates on covops scouting - that is, covops ships (tech 2 frigates) with proper tech 2 covops cloaks, or to a lesser extent stealth bombers with tech 2 covops cloaks. Those wanting to get a feel for scouting may start in frigates with tech 1 cloaks - these allow for sitting still cloaked and are OK for picketing gates (ie. sitting still watching a gate) but little beyond that, and this page does not really cover their use.

This page also covers high-sec scouting only - points in here may or may not apply to 0.0. The assumption is if you're in 0.0, or if you're in anything larger than a covops frigate, you should know what you're doing by now ;) Bubbles and gate camps in 0.0 will change how you operate, so be aware.
