Summary
The Buzzard has an extra mid slot and less low slot compared to most covert ops frigates, making it less agile than the other covops frigates due to losing a nanofiber. This is not a major impediment though and the Buzzard still performs its role well.
Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Buzzard for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.

- Having empty slots on a covert ops ship is perfectly acceptable. This ship is not intended for any direct combat role.
- The MAPC in the low slot is needed to give the Buzzard pilot enough powergrid to fit a capacitor battery for long warps.
- Sisters Combat probes are definitely worth the extra ISK.
- Carry extra probes, because you *will* forget about some of them.

- This fit requires at least a +3% cpu hardwiring implant.
- It is of arguable usefulness within the Uni, and requires an expert skillset to fly a poor substitute of a proper tackle frigate.
- There are very rare instances where this hero tackle frigate fit may actually be useful. The chance that this Buzzard can hold a target long enough for help to arrive is low, and is typically not worth risking the fleet scout.

- You know, for all those E-Uni Black Ops fleets. Don't forget to bring some Liquid Ozone.
- If you do not wish to be cyno fodder, you can leave the high slot for the cyno empty, obviously.
- The Deep Scanner probes can be used in conjunction with other probes to quickly classify which ship or cosmic signatures correlate with what you are searching for.
- The Sensor Booster and Target Painter are for those rare moments where killmail whoring is generally acceptable, such as the destruction of a Player Owned Station.

- Optimized to run as a site runner with the Odyssey expansion, but can also used as a fleet scout
- The "Codebreaker" has been renamed "Data Analyzer" and the "Analyzer" "Relic Analyzer", but they are the exact same module as in Retribution
- Only one of the two Analyzer can be online at a time. You switch between the two as required depending on the sites you probe.
- One of the two Analyzer can be a Tech II. There is not enough powergrid to get both without dropping the Salvager.
- The Salvager is optional, but there is space to fit it and not much else useful that could be set there.
- There is just enough tank to let the ship withstand one volley of smart bombs from a battleship.
- Covert Ops V is required to fit this. With Covert Ops IV, drop the Salvager.
- Covert Ops V is highly recommended to increase the success chances at getting the Data or Relic cans.
