So I like the idea of covops, sneaking around undetected, etc., but I have to ask, how do you make any money doing it?
Clearly I'm new, so if this is the wrong spot to ask, let me know.
Thanks!

I can think of three isk-making opportunities for someone with cov-ops skills:
1) Ninja Salvaging
Grab your Anathema (I assume you fly this since you're Amarr) and fly around null-sec salvaging remnants of battles. I guess you make can make decent isk. You might get lucky and find unlooted wrecks too. (Don't forget the cargo expanders)
2) Probing WH's
You can earn a living probing out WH's and selling the bookmarks. There is more to it than just finding the place, you'd prolly need alts to live in there so you can provide an exit once it sells, etc etc.
3) Hauling loot
Work the contract system in low-sec and NPC 0.0 and get good deals on lots of faction loot. (0.0's will probably sell their faction drops for less if they don't have to haul it. You pick it up (Remember, low-sec and NPC 0.0 unless you have docking rights.), Haul it to hi-sec, Profit.

You can ninja salvage in high sec too. Probers are always in short supply in pirate corps too. Though most pirate probers are in fact alts on a second account, a professional prober/scout would be welcome to most. Just be prepared to get your hands dirty and be the loot monkey too. Thus far you shall read, but no further; for this is my sig. |

Edited by: Viva Che on 29/07/2010 22:47:31 The short answer is: You don't make much isk specializing in cov. ops. At least not without a secondary account to help you take advantage of what you find.
The longer answer has been covered in the above posts.

Probe out people running 0.0 plexes and watch them run the mission, know the rats/structures that drop loot, steal it and gtfo before they can lock you. Might lose a cov-ops and pod, might scoop billions in loot. This demands tremendous patience.
I don't know if single rat / structure loot is worth it in wormholes but this could be even better, certainly easier to do... the drop wont be worth as much but you can do it repeatedly.

Good advice so far. 0.0 Plexes have certain NPC's with awesome drops, and it'd be well done and well worth it to nab that loot. I've found offline POS's in wormhole before, and these could very well have nice stuff. I believe a lot of people finish a WH site and then warp off to get salvage ship - this could be your moment.
Go to the system's with fleet fight's happening, wait for re-location or end of fight and salvage the tech II/III wrecks.

Well, you won't earn much isk without leaving cloak.
Most "sneaky guys with cloaks" I know earn money scanning/doing plexes/ganking ppl who are doing plexes. You will need a force recon (e.g. Arazu) for this and maybe even regular uncloaky ship and a bunch of friends when your lone recon isn't enough.

Stealth bombers are money making machines. They are great mission runners, ninja salvagers, and ratters.

Thanks a bunch for your suggestions!
I know it's not especially lucrative, but at least there is something I can do once I reach my goal.
