These | During war, [[Eve University]] and Ivy League uses a strict set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), typically referred to as the "War SOP". These are part of a carefully crafted war doctrine, based on years of experience in EVE, that is intended to bring the war to a quick close by denying the war's entertainment or profit value to the enemy, and by frustrating or even boring the enemy at every chance we get, while still meeting the University's educational goals by teaching students how to fight wars. To that end, the SOP is intended to: | ||
# deny the enemy easy kills of helpless non-combat ships, | |||
# deny the enemy easy kills of poorly-fitted ships, and | |||
# deny the enemy any kills of high-value ships that will look good on his killboard, | |||
# deny the enemy any chance to banter or smack talk with us, | |||
# ensure that the enemy's only contact with Eve University is losing his ships to our overwhelming war fleets. | |||

Scouts must fly a T2 [[Ship Classes|Covert Ops Frigate]] with a Covert Ops 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. | ||
