Some other ships can use covert ops cloaks and have niche uses as scouts: the [[Prospect]] can work well as a BLOPS cyno hunter, and it would be possible, if wasteful, to scout defensively in a [[Blockade Runners|blockade runner]]. | Some other ships can use covert ops cloaks and have niche uses as scouts: the [[Prospect]] can work well as a BLOPS cyno hunter, and it would be possible, if wasteful, to scout defensively in a [[Blockade Runners|blockade runner]]. | ||

In some circumstances, other ships can be useful scouts, or can be used as scouts in the absence of anything better. | |||
As noted above, almost any ship equipped with just a prototype cloak can be an adequate picket ship for an expendable alt character. In warfare in high security space, where gathering intel while blending into busy systems can be useful, an out-of-corp alt in a PvE, mining, or trade ship typical of the local area can do good work. If a roaming PvP fleet loses all of its designated scouts, the smallest, fastest ships present can be pressed into service as +1 scouts. | |||
