The '''Sin''' is the Gallente Black Ops-type battleship(blops). As is expected from a variation of the [[Dominix]], the Sin has a rather impressive drone bay. As raw stats go, the Sin has a very impressive slot layout of 7/6/6, but very poor resists as all Black Ops do, and only 4 turret hardpoints. However, echoing its Dominix hull, the Sin relies on its drones for damage rather than its own hardware, making it the most combat-viable of the Black Ops.
The '''Sin''' is the Gallente [[Black Ops]]. It maintains the strong drone bonuses of the [[Dominix]] upon which it is based. The flexibility of the Dominix is even increased with a balanced slot layout of both six mid and six low slots. This allows both shield and armor tanks. If used in a group, a buffer armor tank is usually the preferred choice, while solo or with less support an active shield tank is popular. The high slots can be used for blasters, neuts, or remote reps. When fitted for maximum DPS (with blasters and shield tanked), it reaches impressive DPS but is still outgunned by a typically fitted [[Redeemer]]. Therefore you rather see it in a neuting or remote repair role. Even though the Sin has a logistic remote drone transfer bonus, its drones are rather used to deal damage as they provide more value this way.
Although fitting the Sin with blasters is possible, they require the Sin to be as close to the target as possible to maximize DPS, which is risky. Thus, Sins are often fitted with a combination of neuts and remote repairers instead, leaving the DPS to other ships in the fleet, particularly the [[Redeemer]]s. The Sin's generous 6 mid and low slots also offer it the flexibility to be fitted with an adequate active shield tank, or buffer armor tank, with the latter often preferred for blops fleets. The Sin is also the fastest-aligning blops.
As is unique with Black Ops, the ship can fit a covert jump portal.
Black Ops battleships are designed for infiltration and espionage behind enemy lines. With the use of a short-range jump drive and a portal generator, they are capable of making a special type of jump portal usable only by covert ops vessels. This enables them to stealthily plant reconnaissance and espionage forces in enemy territory. For the final word in clandestine maneuvers, look no further.
Developer: CreoDron
As the largest drone developer and manufacturer in space, CreoDron has a vested interest in drone carriers. While sacrificing relatively little in the way of defensive capability, the Sin can chew its way through surprisingly strong opponents - provided, of course, that the pilot uses top-of-the-line CreoDron drones.

Summary
The Sin is the Gallente Black Ops. It maintains the strong drone bonuses of the Dominix upon which it is based. The flexibility of the Dominix is even increased with a balanced slot layout of both six mid and six low slots. This allows both shield and armor tanks. If used in a group, a buffer armor tank is usually the preferred choice, while solo or with less support an active shield tank is popular. The high slots can be used for blasters, neuts, or remote reps. When fitted for maximum DPS (with blasters and shield tanked), it reaches impressive DPS but is still outgunned by a typically fitted Redeemer. Therefore you rather see it in a neuting or remote repair role. Even though the Sin has a logistic remote drone transfer bonus, its drones are rather used to deal damage as they provide more value this way.
Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Sin for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.
Tactics
While the Sin can be used for PvP purposes to great effect, it is mainly used as a support ship; using it's unique ability to be used as a Covert Jump Bridge, allowing any ship that can fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device[1] to use the ship as a temporary stargate, transporting them to a cynosural field that a fellow fleetmate has lit.
Brand new Role bonuses have been added to all battleships (excluding the Praxis).
50% bonus to HP from all Armor Plates
100% bonus to HP from all Shield Extenders
5% additive bonus to all Reinforced Bulkhead modules, for those with discerning tastes.
Version 19.05 - Build: 1913030 - 2021-06-22.1 - Enter the Portal (Patch Notes)
Increased the cargo capacity by 100m3.
Increased maximum target range by 30%.
New Role Bonus: 50% reduction in Covert Cynosural Generator duration
New Role Bonus: 650% bonus to ships maximum velocity when using a Cloaking Device (this was previously a Black Ops ship bonus and has been moved into a role bonus).
Increased role bonus to 75% for reduction to effective distance traveled for jump fatigue.
Furthermore, all Black Ops ships are finally getting a Fuel Bay upgrade and there will be improved resistance profiles for Black Ops Battleships. - CCP Dopamine, Rolling Thunder News Post
Fuel bay capacity increased from 1,250 m3 to 2,150 m3 (+900 m3, +72%)
Resistances increased:
Shield Resistances
Therm - From 20% to 35%
Kin - From 50% to 64%
Armor Resistances
Therm - From 35% to 47%
