====Covert Ops====

~~For the purpose of travelling~~, ~~we will classify~~ Covert Ops ~~as any ship that can fit~~ the ~~Covert Ops Cloak~~. This ~~utility high-slot~~ module allows a ship to ~~travel completely cloaked~~, ~~including inside Bubbles~~. ~~A Bubble will still prevent~~ the ship ~~from entering warp however~~, ~~so pilots will need~~ to ~~manually fly out of a Bubble first then warp~~ to ~~a Gate Tactical [[Bookmarks|Bookmark]]~~. ~~While this does offer a high level of protection~~, ~~a skilled Gate Camp can de-cloak a pilot~~. ~~For those who can fly it,~~ the ~~Travel Interceptor is considered a better~~ option ~~over the Covert Ops~~.

In May, 2021, Covert Ops was provided the opportunity to equip interdiction nullifiers. This module allows the Covert Ops ship to ignore bubble mechanics, so long as the new module is active. Covert Ops ships have slightly larger cargo holds than travelceptors, but are unable to achieve a below 2 second align time. This drawback is negligible, however, because the covert ops ship can make use of the covert ops cloaking device, which if used properly makes it impossible to target. The biggest risks to the covert ops ship is smart bombs, or getting bumped and decloaked while aligning. The lower the align time, the more difficult the ship becomes to bump and decloak. This makes the covert ops ships the safest option for transiting in and around NSC, and null sec in general.

-For the purpose of travelling, we will classify Covert Ops as any ship that can fit the Covert Ops Cloak. This utility high-slot module allows a ship to travel completely cloaked, including inside Bubbles. A Bubble will still prevent the ship from entering warp however, so pilots will need to manually fly out of a Bubble first then warp to a Gate Tactical [[Bookmarks|Bookmark]]. While this does offer a high level of protection, a skilled Gate Camp can de-cloak a pilot. For those who can fly it, the Travel Interceptor is considered a better option over the Covert Ops.
