In any situation where a fleet can expect to encounter war targets or is actively looking for war targets, Out of Corp (OOC) scouts are very useful. They can move around freely without alerting enemy pilots that a war target is in system.

~~==Basic Tools of the Trade==~~

'''T1 Ships''': Each race has a T1 frigate with bonuses for speed and tackling. These are usually the best T1 ships for scouting. Amarr: [[Executioner]]. Caldari: [[Condor]]. Gallente: [[Atron]]. Minmatar: [[Slasher]].

'''T2 Ships -- Interceptors''': Interceptors are T2 versions of the T1 tackle frigates. They keep the tackling bonus and are much faster. They are immune to bubbles, which is important in null-sec scouting. Each race has two versions of the interceptor, and one of them has additional tackling bonuses, which usually makes them the better scout interceptor. That said, interceptors are expensive, so you should think twice before using one as a hero tackle. Amarr: [[Malediction]]. Caldari: [[Crow]]. Gallente: [[Ares]]. Minmatar: [[Stiletto]].

'''T2 Ships -- Covops''': Covert Operations ships are frigates that can fit a Covert Operations Cloaking Device, a T2 module that allows the ship full maneuverability while cloaked, including warping. Cloaked ships do not show up on D-Scan, which allows them to sneak up on other ships. In addition, each race has one version of a Covops ship which is the T2 version of their exploration frigate. These ships can use combat scanning probes to find ships and provide a warp-in to them. All of these abilities make the Covops ship an excellent choice for fleet scouts. However, Covops ships are somewhat fragile, so they should not be used for hero tackling.

'''[[Directional_Scanner_Guide |D-Scan]]''': This is an absolutely essential tool for scouts. You will use this constantly to find ships that are not on grid, to hunt down ships, and to report fleet compositions to your FC. If you are just starting out in EVE or a new scout, take the time to read the linked article and practice on your own.

~~'''[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ Dotlan]''': This set of maps is essential for route-finding. If you use EVE in windowed mode, you can have this open in a browser and bring it up whenever you need it.~~

'''[https://adashboard.info/intel aDashboard]''': In either local or D-Scan, you can select all, copy, and then paste the data into aDashboard. It will analyze the data, give you a report, and give you a link you can post in fleet chat for your FC. This is a quick way to report fleet composition, war targets in local, etc.
