Black Ops: Difference between revisions

Line 27:

Black Ops are often only used for bridging or conduit jumps; for that they need to fit a Covert Jump Portal Generator.

The only other hulls which have the ability to bridge ships are Titans and Rorquals. Bridging Titans are nearly exclusively used while being [[tethering|tethered]] to an upwell structure or from inside a [[POS|POS field]]. Using a bridging Titan in hostile space is incredibly risky and thus very, very rarely done. This is where Black Ops shine as they were designed for that. (Also not everyone might be able to afford a Titan in the first place.) As the covert cyno doesn’t show up as a warpable beacon on the overview and only lasts much shorter you can usually bring in a Black Ops to a safe spot with a low but nonzero risk of being combat probed and tackled.

Black Ops Battleships can only bridge ships which are capable of fitting the Covert Ops Cloaking Device. (The ships do not need to have the module fitted in order to use the bridge.) This includes the Sisters of EVE ships, and Strategic Cruisers fitted with the Covert Reconfiguration subsystem.
