After flying around my destroyer for a while i saw a Covert ops Frig uncloak and i thought to myself, Wouldn't it be cool if a Destroyer had a module to see Covert Op frigs, And i thought it could kind of be like strip miners on Mining Barges how they cost like a ton of CPU and Cap but they could fit it special because it was their own special thingy......just a thought

i love my dessies... this would be icing on the cake man... an those other *****s would stop insulting them also
good idea... having destroyers as scouts...
you can give a nice RP reason also..
ummm... frigs to small to mount the unit on 'blah blah', dessie dessigned specificaly FOR this task 'blah blah' (they where released recently)... all other ships are too old to ahve had this built into their design... make up something about why some ofem never will (such as: amarr r too damn ignorant  )

I think it would be a horrible idea. Why should a cheap ship be able to nullify the main feature of an expensive tech2 ship?
If anything were able to break the cloak on a CO frigate, it should be a covert ops scanner on another CO frigate. It should take too much CPU to use on any other ship and only work when de-cloaked.
Destroyers already have a purpose. They're frigate killers for fleet battles. Unfortunatly most people use inty's in combat and tech1 destroyers can't survive long against them. Tech2 destroyers should be pretty cool though.....

I think what the origional post was getting at was that destroyers main function in the real world is to hunt subs.

As much as the Destroyer is in need of some loving, that would be too much. I agree with the previous post in that an inexpensive t1 ship to nullify the whole point of an expensive t2 ship would be unbalanced.
All the destroyers need IMO is increased survivability. It's got the sig radius close to cruiser level, but it's shield/armor/structure is not much above Frig level. Could use a boost in that department. But that's getting off topic...

[idea]
Elite Destroyer: Tactical Surveillance Destroyer
Give them an Enhanced Tactical Display that renders the sphere of influence (within targeting range) in a photon inversion field, which is only useful on these ships and only shows vessels that are cloaked and allows them to be targeted (by TSD only).
[/idea]
[exploit?]
Obviously gate gankers would be interested in this ability to pre-empt a ship's exit of jump shield into warp. this tactic cant succeed without a blob to keep the sentries off the TSD. In 0.0 this would be an alliance's wet dream.
[/exploit?]
Just a random thought I had a minute ago.

hmmm what about this module worked only against regular not covert ops cloaks? this would allow more important role to destroyers and will still dont made covert ops frigates useless, rp explanation: covert ops cloak are far more complicated and work on much more frequences than regular ones availible to all ships...
it could work like that: it shows all cloaked ships to destroyer owner (except covert ops ofcorse) and let him lock and fire on tham. Next when his bullets hits enemy ship auto decloak and is free target to others
(little extension to poster ideas with some polishings... probably i will be flamed to death too... but dont worry i came to forum once in few weeks so wouldnt read replies;)

ALWAYS better to add more ships with more functions than to modify existing ships. Look at the missile nerf. Could've just added a whole group of small medium and large rocket types, and leave missiles alone.. or even Small/Medium/Large Rockets/Missiles/Torpedos. But no. They're changing something.
And yea, Pandoras box (filled with whining) opened.
