Edited by: Rajere on 20/05/2009 09:35:37 When these were first put on SiSi they were originally getting Cov Cloak & Cov Cyno ability. For some reason I guess dev's thought that would be too powerful(?) so they rolled out to TQ with only the Cov Cloak bonus listed. Yesterday's patch updated/rolled back the item description on the Covert Reconfigs, and now they say you can fit a Covert Cyno (but you actually can't).
Could a dev/gm or anyone who knows confirm if this was simply a mistake in rolling back the item description to the previous entry which listed Cov Cynos, or confirm that you do intend for Strategic Cruisers with Cov Reconfig subsystem to be able to use them, but the code is bugged or something preventing them from being equipped on TQ at this time?
Here's a screen shot from TQ:

Originally by: Arushia Did you bug report it? I got a fairly fast reply when I bug-reported an inconsistency in the old Proteus Defensive - Augmented Plating description.
I've got bug reports from November 2008 still unanswered, but sure, I just bug reported it, guess it will keep my other bug reports company.

Edited by: Rajere on 21/05/2009 15:07:37 Got a response to my bug report:
Quote: This report has been attached to a defect
Ok, that still doesn't answer my question though, which is the defect?
A: The item description text got rolled back to previous version is the defect, they are not getting a bonus to fit Covert Cynos B: The item description was updated to the new version, they are supposed to be able to fit covert cynos, the fact that they cannot is the defect.

Edited by: Rajere on 23/05/2009 22:38:30 patch notes said nothing about the Covert Cyno or the covert reconfig subsystem. And you can fit it in the latest version of EFT, just can't fit it in game.

Edited by: Rajere on 08/06/2009 16:33:35 Um the Covert Reconfiguration subsystem never had the ability to fit a Covert Cyno on Tranquility. It was only on SiSi and it was pulled before they released the 4th sub-systems to TQ. The description of the subsystem was accurate from release until the 2nd fail patch a few weeks ago, Hence this thread (1.2.2.3.4? The patch to fix the jump bug they managed to patch in, cus they were too stubborn to simply roll back the cloak patch so they had to patch the patch)
So anyone who bought a T3 specifically for this ability have only themselves to blame. In the future it would be wise to A: read TQ patch notes instead of SiSi and B: I dunno, read GD forum, like this thread maybe?
PS: The Covert Reconfiguration Subsystem does grant Jump Harmonics 2, thus T3 with this subsystem are able to use a Covert Jump Bridge...So if you want to bridge a ship with 1/3-1/2 the DPS of a blackops into an engagement, you may do so, for only 2-3x the cost of a BOs.
PPS: There's really no reason to want to fit a Covert Cyno on a T3 cruiser anyway. This thread, this inquiry was purely academic. Seriously. any gang/ship/circumstances that can pop a 75k EHP force Recon in 30 seconds, can also pop a 150k EHP T3 cruiser in 60 seconds...Only reason I was even interested was in the extremely slim possibility that the 5th Subsystem lets you add a Interdiction Probe Launcher or WDFG....snowball's chance in hell basically. And if they do add a bubble launcher, then you'd want to fit a regular Cyno anyway cus the only real advantage that gives you is a Covert Cloaking Bubble ship that's got enough EHP to survive multiple DDs :)

It never had the ability on Tranquility.
Yeah, bubble immunity is way more convenient, it would certainly save time while traveling to your destination, but unless your covert pilots are terrible all it does is save time. If the gate camp is as heavily manned as you describe then it's not like you're going to be popping a covert in that system anyway. Also I certainly wouldn't assume you're immune to probing, you're stuck in space uncloaked for a full 60 seconds which is more than enough time to narrow you down unless you're in a deep safe (this is ignoring the fact that popping cyno's at safe spots is somewhat counter-productive and diminishes much of the advantage that the BO's have).
Basically if I can navigate my way through a mass of bubbles and light tackle ships in a dual trimarked/dual 1600 plated Pilgrim then your covops frigates can to. T3 offers convenience no doubt but any other covert cloaking ship has the ability to go anywhere just as well, it simply takes a bit of time. |

Originally by: Mike C Tried it earlier, and apparently Strategic Cruisers with the covert subsystem can use a Black Ops' jump portal. Is this a bug, feature or "unintended feature"?
It's a feature, which was already pointed out earlier in this thread (as well as like 5,000 other threads). You are like officially the last player to discover this. |

Well no ship which can use the portal states as much in the description :P Any ship with Jump Harmonics 2 is Covert Jump Bridgable, the Covert Reconfig Sub-system grants the Jump Harmonics 2 attribute. fin |
