Black Ops are pretty useless besides undocking and bridging a bunch of people.

IMO they need:

1) Covert ops cloak. Removal of the targeting delay bonus and movement bonus.

2) Change of focus from damage to perhaps light logistics, gang links or ewar boats. I don't mind something with a covert ops cloak having a nice t1 battleship buffer, but it should not have a bs damage.


My idealised version of black ops is something you only have 1 of in a recon gang. It jumps the fleet in, then jumps itself. It then can repair damage ships after battles, lay down ewar during battle and provide some racial ganglinks. Currently ewar fleets have to bring t3's if they want covert ops boosters, and they cannot use many links without becoming useless in fights.

eg. The Sin.

Gallente Battleship Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to large hybrid turret damage and 10% bonus to drone hit points and damage per skill level

Black Ops Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Remote Sensor Dampener effectiveness and 3% bonus to effectiveness of Information Warfare Links per level

Role Bonus: 99% reduction in Warfare Link CPU need. Can fit 2 Warfare Link modules simultaneously.

Note: can fit covert cynosural field generators, covert ops cloaks and covert jump portal generators.




edit:

eg The Panther

Minmatar Battleship Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Cruise and Siege Launcher rate of fire and 10% bonus to Cruise and Torpedo missile velocity per level

Black Ops Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Target Painter effectiveness and 3% bonus to effectiveness of Skirmish Warfare Links per level

Role Bonus: 99% reduction in Warfare Link CPU need. Can fit 2 Warfare Link modules simultaneously.

Note: can fit covert cynosural field generators, covert ops cloaks and covert jump portal generators.



Note only 2 links.
