The Covert Ops class is split into two sub classes with significantly different roles, both of which have the ability to warp while [[cloaking|cloaked]].

== Covert Ops ==

Covert Ops frigates can warp while cloaked, and have bonuses to scanning and hacking. As [[scouting|scouts]] they can stealthily gather intelligence and use their scanning bonus to probe out enemy targets. They can watch enemy targets while in cloak and provide a warp coordinate for a much larger gang of heavy hitting ships in an organized surprise attack. Explorers can use the same scanning bonus to probe down PvE [[exploration]] sites. Due to their extreme fragility, cov-ops frigates should not generally be used in a tackling role, and are typically invisible at all times.

In E-Uni Covert Ops are mainly used as a forward scout or rear scout.

== Stealth Bombers ==

Stealth bombers are very specialized ships which can warp cloaked and don't have a sensor recalibration delay preventing them from locking targets after decloaking. They can fit torpedo launchers (battleship sized missile launchers) and bomb launchers, which fire [[bombs|area-of-effect weapons]] that can only be used in [[0.0|nullsec]] or wormhole space. Stealth bombers put out extraordinary [[Alpha Strike|alpha strike]] damage and die very fast if anyone manages to put some damage on them, so bomber pilots will typically fire a few salvos and/or a single bomb then recloak. They are the bane of large ships, especially in nullsec. In groups and flown well, stealth bombers can take down a capital ship.

Each stealth bomber has a damage bonus for bombs and torpedoes which do its empire's associated [[NPC Damage Types|damage type]].
