The OP seems to be fixated on doing things solo. Things involving T3 cruisers, blops, and carriers in low/null/w-space. The OP also seems to be fairly new to the game. This will result in some amazing lossmails. I am going to need some popcorn.
If you want to do this stuff, don't do it alone. Find a corp. |

I mean, it's pretty easy. Dscan, Dual RR Sins + Cyno. Farm up escalations or buy them, fly cyno to system jump straight to the gate. Profit.
I've been doing them long enough with enough experience that I'd feel comfortable ninja running them in hostile space.
Key word being experience... jumping into an activity before you have a baseline level of knowledge from which to progress is a bad idea. It's not just jump mechanics or site mechanics. It's general experience and knowledge that applies to all ships and activities, i.e. How people react when hunting for YOU, how you react to being hunted, when and what to do when encountering camps and on and on.
I don't mean at all to discourage experimentation and taking the "other path", its exactly what I've done, but especially with some of the questions being asked by the OP: just because you can fly something doesn't mean you should jump straight into it.
Start smaller. Run exploration in an astero, practice escaping gate camps and bubbles, hone your scanning skills. Move to that tengu/Strat, continue the scanning practice, learn movement both in site and through systems/regions. Bust out the Domi, learn drone mechanics, when to pull em, what to stick em on etc.
I hate being a grinch, but the answers to the above questions should be basic knowledge by the time you are seriously considering jumping into carriers and blops. Getting a fat loss mail that wrecks your wallet or wastes that plex you just bought and not knowing what happened is a good way to become disgruntled and bail on the game. |

Anyway, do Black Ops battleships have any utility outside covert jumping & porting area? I mean running L4 missions, PvP, support roles etc.
Black Frog has a nice and very trustworthy hauling service. Join their ingame channel Black Frog and let them link you the cost of having your ships jumped to nullsec - NPC stations only.
We are recruiting. And we welcome any solo and not so solo activities in Stain.
Eve Minions is recruiting.
This is the law of ship progression!

Wouldn't it just be easier to leave the T3 ratting ship in null sec and only move loot back and forth in a much less expensive ship like a Blockade Runner? You could still use the Blops I suppose- but really the biggest threat you ever face is border crossings between security regions. The one gate between low and null or low and high are the choke points. Once out in null sec you can often go a dozen jumps without seeing another player.
It isn't too hard getting in and out of low/null sec. A CovOps cloaked T3 with bubble immunity will pretty much moonwalk past all but the most dedicated gate gamps. The kind you should be aware of from looking at your map before undocking, checking any public intel channels, etc.
Basically you are using several accounts and billions of isk worth of ships to accomplish what people do all the time without any of that. Minimize your border crossings and you've already eliminated the majority of risk you face. Use a cloaky/nullified T3 and reduce the risk even further. You will never achieve zero risk, but dragging out a Blops and multi-boxing a bunch of accounts reaches a point of diminishing returns when applied to reducing the risk of travel.
