==== Cyno hunter ====

Almost all ships which can fit a covert ops cloak can also fit a covert cynosural field ("cyno") generator, which lets a [[Black Ops]] Tech 2 battleship bridge and teleport other stealthy ships into battle while circumventing the normal gate network. Force [[Recon ~~ships~~|recon]] ships and Black Ops battleships can fit a normal or "hard" cyno generator, which lets a Titan bridge ''any'' ships into battle. Some industrial ships can light an industrial cyno, and Black Ops battleships can bridge to these too. Specialized scouts can fly these ships not for a nearby fleet, but for a fleet "staged" and ready to bridge to a cyno.

Scouting as a cyno ship uses many of the same skills as other "hunting" roles, but can often emphasize cunning and stealth over raw speed. Force recons and covert-configured strategic cruisers can fit reasonable tanks and can have special abilities which make them very powerful cyno hunters: the Minmatar [[Loki]] and [[Rapier]], for instance, can use very long-ranged webs to pin a target in place as their allies arrive. Other ships, such as the [[Venture]] and [[Prospect]], offer attractively cheap "throwaway" options which might look less threatening if opponents spot them at gate transitions. [[Stealth bombers]] have the unique ability to begin target-locking immediately on uncloaking, though this must be weighed against their paper-thin tanks.
