Hello
Great News
I would like to stress a few ideas I saw above
- jump in cyno jamm system: necessary, the short range of the black ops means that you cannot pick up your route easely as almost all systems in 0.0 are cynojammed nowadays.
- Increased bay and later a fuel bay: great
- less fuel: jumping a gang here and there means that I always need a friend with a blockade runner. That in turns means that any operating black-ops gang (bombers/reconn/black ops, etc..) has one more guy just for the logistic (which is on top of the black ops cargo extended and the several covert cyno guy). And you need for mid size gangs even more blockade friends and black ops. So lesser use of fuel per level of black ops seems a good idea.
And as user of the black ops, I would also really stress the need to just a tiny bit of extra range. I needed to train jump drive qualibration 5 because suddenly, with the tiny 0.5 ly of extra range, the black ops become from a "lets jump two system away" to something usefull. So maybe not like a titan but a small bit (say base 2.25 or 2.5 instead or 2 ly as today).
Also, please bear in mind that there are two types of use for black ops. The "gang jump bridge" black ops that is cargo extended and therefore does not enter into combat as well as the combat black ops as used by burn eden (tm not mine  ). Please make sure that both use remains possible.

@ RedSplat:
Making sure that enough fuel is available is the issue that any group wishing to use black ops must make sure to solve before going into any operation.
I would even say that fuel availability as well as playing in group (or with alts) are the two things necessary to successfully use black ops.
Also, Rajere and Burn eden have proven on the field of battle that the way they use black ops is efficient.
Now that was my friendly two cents to your ongoing discussion

People actually use BO regularly for combat, on Tranq? 
Okay i exagerate but BO are the only ship class i almost never see in space (i'd love the changes proposed to change this) *goes looking for video*
 a rare few... a too rare few
