Designed for commando and espionage operation, its main strength is the ability to travel unseen through enemy territory and to avoid unfavorable encounters.

Developer: Thukker Mix

It is unclear how Thukker Mix could master the intricacies of cloaking technology so quickly after the fall of Crielere. According to Professor Oggand Viftuin, head of R&D, the tribe managed to recruit some senior Caldari scientist that used to work on the Mirage Project at Crielere. Ishukone has denied this, claiming that the Thukkers aquired the technology from prototypes stolen by the Guristas.

Summary

The covert ops frigates have few differences, but the cheetah is slightly faster and more maneuverable than the rest, while having a below par capacitor. Its speed makes it the ideal covert ops frigate for creating tactical bookmarks and maneuvering behind enemies on grid for fleet warps and hotdrops. But the speed comes at a price. Its powergrid is lesser than that of the Anathema and Helios, its CPU and capacitor is the lowest of all four covert ops frigates, and it possesses four, instead of five, mid-slots. Consequently, a Cheetah needs more advanced fitting skills or an extra fitting module to achieve the same versatility as the other covert ops frigates.

  • There is 1 remaining grid, allowing a single mid slot. A Multispectral ECM jammer might save you if you're caught decloaked. Alternatively a Warp Disruptor is occasionally useful if you bump in to a pod or freighter. Neither is really essential.

NOTES
  • 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 Cheetah pilot enough powergrid to fit a capacitor battery for long warps.
  • For those interested in exploration, a MAPC also allows a cheetah pilot to fit a codebreaker/analyzer/salvager in addition to the cap battery.
  • With max navigation skills, the maximum velocity of this Cheetah fit is 564 m/s, which is 76 m/s faster than a similarly fit Helios.
  • Sisters Combat probes are definitely worth the extra ISK.
  • Carry extra probes, because you *will* forget about some of them.


Tactics

No sub-article about Cheetah roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.

Notes

The Cheetah (much like any covops) is cloak tanked. So despite rumors to the contrary, use of shields, or armor tank mods isn't needed. Rule #1: If you've been pointed in a cheetah, you've done something very wrong.
