I decided to screw around and train up for Special Ops ships. I didnt really read near as much as I should have, but oh well. who ever reads instructions anyways.
Anyhow. A couple questions.
So, I first buy a Manticore, thinking it follows the normal rules of Special Ops ships. Seems cool, but I dont see how much use it is honestly. It just seems like a beefed up Kestrel.
What good is a stealth bomber if you can see them coming? ( aka ability to non stealth while warping )
Okay fine. Its a Stealth Bomber, not a special Ops ships. I dont see much point behind it though. Unless I want to gank pods at a gate.
So I go buy a Buzzard special Ops ship. I was told these things could warp in cloak. So I refit it. I ret it. No dice.
so now I am stuck with 2 ships that I dont see how usefull they are. Sure, I can launch probes on my Buzz, and kill pods in a Manti. But what real role do these things have?
In pvp, what are the roles of a Special Ops ship and a Stealth bomber? Can anyone give me good examples where another ship wouldnt have been more effective? Or where the cost / bennefit ratio was favorable?

Ya, I saw those,but I saw the CPU was 5000, and I wasnt sure if that was nullified when it came to special ops frigs.

So situationally, how do you guys use say, stealth bombers? I understand the use for special ops ships. They dont kill anything. They just track things down and scout. Easy enough.

next time, why don't you before you waste our time
just read the description of the damn ship's bonuses FFS. is that too much to ask?
are you not gonna read the bonuses on a scorp and try and make it a gank ship?
Leave the guy alone, it was a civil question.
sry. having a bad day 
no problem. I know the feeling. :)

I can't seem to find anything on this question either, figured this would be a good place to put it instead of making a whole new thread.
Once you've jumped through a gate into a system, can you activate the cloaking device while you're still sitting there cloaked so you can just warp out without anyone ever seeing you? Or do you have to just be quick on the trigger to turn the module on after you decloak?
You cant activate it while in the stealth mode from jumping. However, You can cloak within ( literally ) half a second. So fast that they never see you in space, and have absolutley no chance to target you. Then you just fly away at your leasure.
