So, got my Buzzard, put 1 1mn MWD on it and... I'm nearly out of grid. I've got 4 medslots and 2 lowslots available. I'd quite like a 2nd MWD which means looking for a way to optimize the power grid/cap recharge side of things but I'd be happy if anyone has a different setup they'd like to share.

I think you should take off the mwd and put on a cloak. ------------

Wasting all your slots to fit 2 MWDs on a Buzzard is stupid. You can't use them while cloaked, and if you don't want to cloak you should go spend 1/4th as much and get a stiletto that can go the same speed and actually fight.
As for suggesting setups, there are no general setups for covert ops. The whole point is that you specialize for some specific task and keep your ass cloaked if you aren't doing that task.

See the fact that I said that I had 4 med slots and 2 lowslots available and that Cloaks are hislot items was supposed to be a sort of hint that there's a cloak already in there. that the MWDs are emergency getaway kit and that I was asking for a reasoned way to power all this. What was I thinking? Reason? Actually read the post? Good grief! NM.
Btw, Cov-ops are notEW platforms they dont have the cap, and sorry, but you should be cloaked whileyou do the task not as has been suggested cloak until you start to do it.

The EW is intended to jam some1 so they lose their lock so you can recloak and warp away if need be, their not meant to jam continuously, only to allow your escape. __________________________________________

I also bought a Buzzard. Unfortunately its PG sucks.
Hi: 2x STD Launchers with Kinetic Missiles (~100 damage with bonuses) 1x Cov Ops Cloaker (Can warp with it turned on)
Med: 1x MWD 1x Warp Scrambler 1x Webifier 2x Cap Rechargers
Low: 1x Micro Aux Powercore 1x Cap Relay
Can MWD and scramble/web stuff without running out of cap. Setup is for ambushing haulers that think its safe to go to the gate... But I guess there are better ships for that, but Buzzard is fun  ********** Everyone deserves to die. You go first.

Thnx for that Dirius. PG is cr*p I agree. Think I'll fill the lows with Micro Cores and three of the meds with Cap recharger 2s. Highs will be 2 arbelest assaults, (Defenders or light FoFs?) and the cloak. I'll try 2 1mn MWD2s as escape kit and keep the ship as a pure Scout. I think I'll be chopping and changing for a while tho. :)

______________________________________________________
The EW is intended to jam some1 so they lose their lock so you can recloak and warp away if need be, their not meant to jam continuously, only to allow your escape. ______________________________________________________
The thing is, after you break their lock they will relock you and,it's my understanding that you can't cloak while they are in the process of locking you. Nor can you cloak until the EW mod deactivates. There's a 30 second recloaking timer running as well. All this led me to believe that If, for whatever reason, you are decloaked and locked, (2x MWD inty is worst case here) your best defence is straight line speed away to stay out of his scramble range until you can warp. Over the shoulder Fofs to give him something to worry about appeal to me too given the Buzzards missile damage bonus.

I cant remember exactly but I think I did mine as follows:
2 x rocketlaunchers with defenders 1 x Covert ops cloak
1 x 1 MN MWD II 1 x 1 MN AB II 2 x Racial Jammers 1 x Small Cap Battery II
2 Micro Aux Power Cores
if that doesnt fit, maybe I dropped the AB for something else.
Cap Battery is there because with a MWD the damn thing's got bugger all cap for warping across systems, 13.5 AU/s or not - it's a PITA.
