 Commonly confused, pickets and scouting are similar with with differing purposes.
 === Picketing ===
-A picket will typically sit static and cloaked on the far side of a gate or similar location, providing early warning in the event of an incoming war-target. Pickets should typically be flying a tackler frigate fitted with a T1 cloak similar and modules.
+A picket will typically sit static and cloaked on the far side of a gate or similar location, providing early warning in the event of an incoming war-target. Picket frigates not part of a fleet operation should always sit at least 175-250km away from the gate in a random direction, not aligned with any celestial objects. They also typically be fly a [[Tackler Frigate]] fitted with a Tech 1 prototype cloak and 'travel' fit.
 === Scouting ===
 Scouting is the act of moving ahead of a fleet, providing intel as to the state of the next location, or following the fleet one jumb behind, to identify any pursuing targets. Scouts must fly a T2 [[Ship Classes|Covert Ops Frigate]] with an appropriate cloak only. Stealth bombers are not to be used as scouts. Scouts must be attached to a fleet at all time - scouting solo is pointless - and scouts do not engage in combat at any time, maintaining their cloak at all times. Because they should never be visible, experienced scouts flying the relevant ship may use a Faction probe launcher at their discretion.
