A picket will typically sit static and cloaked on the far side of a gate or similar location, providing early warning in the event of an incoming war-target.

Picket frigates not part of a fleet operation should always sit at least 175-250km away from the gate in a random direction, not aligned with any celestial objects.

Scouting is the act of moving ahead of a fleet, providing intel as to the state of the next location, or following the fleet one jumb behind, to identify any pursuing targets. Scouts must fly a T2 [[Frigate#Covert Ops Frigate|Covert Ops Frigate]] with a Covert Ops Cloak and be certified through the [[ILN]] only training program. [[Frigate#Stealth Bombers|Stealth bombers]] are not to be used as scouts. Scouts must be attached to a fleet at all time - scouting solo is pointless - and scouts do not engage in combat at any time, maintaining their cloak at all times. Because they should never be visible, experienced scouts flying the relevant ship may use a Faction probe launcher at their discretion. Non certified pilots in Covert Ops Frigs during wartime will be subject to the same violations procedure as those flying restricted ships. | Scouting is the act of moving ahead of a fleet, providing intel as to the state of the next location, or following the fleet one jumb behind, to identify any pursuing targets.
