== Notes on Covops Operations and Scouting: ==

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~~.

This page gives some information for scouts and budding scouts. It is a distillation of lessons learnt by a fleet scout while in the Uni.

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.~~

=== What does/doesn't this cover: ===

This page also covers high-sec scouting only - points in here may or may not apply to 0.0 or Wormhole space. ~~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~~.

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. Anything larger (recon ships, black ops, etc) is out of scope of this document.

This page also covers high-sec scouting only - points in here may or may not apply to 0.0 or Wormhole space. Bubbles, lack of a "local" comms channel, and other things will change how you scout in 0.0 or Wormhole space, but we assume that you've had some experience in high and low sec before venturing into them.

Finally, this page focuses on fleet scouting, and doesn't cover general intel, except in as much as intel crosses over with scouting.
