You could always fleet warp your squad to the site instead, and then cancel the warp before you actually fly there yourself ... I don't see any reason for a Cov Ops to fly to the site itself, since their job is to find the sites, not actually probe them out.
That said, a warp to 100km feature that works would be very nice!

Yes. Punt your fleet. Don't warp there yourself. :)

Yes but this is not the ship performing its role. Whats the point of having a ship thats dedicated to scouting, being unable to scout. Nobody is just gonna throw there gang into a sleeper fleet without having some sort of clue as to what to expect.

Edited by: St''oto on 15/03/2009 22:49:30 Then your pilot skills are simply lacking in this area. I have been to countless exploration sites in wormholes. With npcs and have had no problem quickly dropping a bm and then warping out. I have been using a prototype cloak on the char I do scanning with while I train up cloaking to use covert ops cloaks. So you guys really need to improve your piloting skills.
EDIT : also the ship I use is a cheetah. just to clarify that it is a covert ops.

warp in a corp mate with you ( them in a pod ) and you cancel warp b4 entering warp. get them to book mark the area on arrival...
Good thing you can ask the GMs to spawn corpies in pods when you need to bookmark a site.
Think before you post tbh, a probing ship shouldnt need an alt in a pod to bookmark the sites.
Everytime someone posts something along these lines, I bet it goes into the Power-of-Two High-Five file, and the dev responsible gets their name entered in a drawing for some major, end-of-the-year prize. Also, chicks dig it.
I really don't blame them, it's not as if you HAVE to have two accounts, just that's it's so much easier. I think it's nice that they don't try and make it harder like most MMORPGS, and actually let you multi-client to your heart's content (and your hardware's capacity:).
Just kidding, of course, lol. I'm trying to justify my own second account.

I have 3x inertial stabs and 3x small shield extenders on my scanship. I find it has no issues whatsoever getting in and getting out...of hisec w-space.
However, as we all know, more dangerous unknown space is quite different. Can anyone reply with their experiences warping into a high-end w-space site with a TANKED covops?

should be able to, imo, bookmark scan results as soon as you get them.

It's only gravimetric and ladar sites that have the decloaking clouds. Maybe this is a measure by CCP to add a bit of extra security for miners?

/vote for this idea! It would also mean you could mark sites your scanned down already which is another big issue in W space!

I haven't lost 1 single cov ops during the numerous bookmarking operations to sleeper sites I've undertaken. Even if you warp in at 0 you should be fine, as long as you're not being overly curious towards the contents of the site.
Warp to the signature. Select a planet that's going to be aligned best to your current warp direction. Open your places window, press add bookmark, leave the popup open and press ok when you finish warp, or just before. Spam the warp button on the selected item window (where you've got a planet selected). This way you'll be out way before anything can lock you up, even if the warpout isn't optimally aligned. Lag can mess it up ofcourse, but that's general meh.

A simple answer rather than change the sites at all to accomadate your warp in keeping you cloaked, how about letting us BM the green dot result without warping in. Cov Ops can sit and probe out sites and hand off bookmarks to gangmates to go run without leaving it's spot.

ok, this is what happened to me (yes I lost my cov-ops)
I'm cloaked I scanned down a site I warped to it I cancelled warp I warped to it again at 100km I'm still cloaked on entry
while I'm getting my book mark, a single sleeper rat rushes away from the rest of them and suddently I'm decloaked.
obviously, within the next two seconds I was dead due to the WTFPWN Sirius sentries.
now I've seen the sleeper frigs do this before, going at random directions, rushing around, but I'm trying to work out whether or not they're doing this intentionally to attempt to decloak, or whether its a bug, or something else.
there's a couple of things I don't like here, the main one is the almost instantaneous sentry gun damage, it takes me barely a couple of seconds to warp out in a cheetah, and in that time the sentries had locked, fired, and destroyed me.
was I slow in bookmarking and getting out? maybe were the sleeper frigs doing something new and interesting? maybe are they doing what's intended? I don't know.
and please, don't call me a scan-nub, I've been playing with cov-ops and cloaking for a long time. I may have made mistakes, and if this intended gameplay, then hats off to the devs for catching me out, but IMHO something smells fishy, even if its just the sentry gun lock time.
