Anyone want to tell me why you can't fit covert cynos on either the astero or the stratios?
Just incase you thought people weren't going to want to fit these: WE DO WANT TO FIT THESE.
Stratios is going to make for ballsy bait. People are going to try and want to counter drop bad bait pilots. I promise.

So I just got back from sisi and did some 1v1's with the asteros and stratios. The stratios as a uboat is pretty solid. I won one and lost 2 with my dual rep AB asteros (comedy fit that actually works based on a dual rep enyo). The two I lost were vs a Kronos and stratios in one fight, and a dram in another. I rematched the dram once my overview was fixed (we were in fleet) and beat him. Let me tell you about AAR reloads and 16% structure right as the reload ended.
I didn't bother trying any tackle/dropping scenarios with the asteros since you can't cov cyno fit it.
When I get more goons on, we'll goon-cannon some of these hoes out of a sin or redeemer onto some of those dumb carriers/dreads sitting on the beacons.

Hey guy who doesn't pvp: Don't tell me how to fly a new ship. Next you're going to tell me they are not for combat.

They can be, but they can't light cynos, so you can't send one ahead to scout for your blops, pve or pvp.

I'm sorry what?  No, you are right, I have only ever been on the Forums and never logged into the client in seven years.. Powers Sa wrote:
Also if this is a cool exploration ship, what if i want to light a cov cyno and jump my PVE sin around a gatecamp to run plexes/sites?
Blackops is for hotdropping and bridging other boats with them. My concern is, that both ships will be to weak for combat and no, the answer is not 'bring' more or call Goofswarm. Did anyone else notice by any chance that every boat in EVE will just suddenly appear near you with Rubicon? Cloak or no cloak, any boat appears to have a cloak on and surprise you by just showing up out of nowhere.
Here is why you are bad at debates in the particular case: You have tunnel vision for ship usage.
I have a panther I use for actually dropping on things, and I have a sin for bridging or PVE. When on deployment (as I often am), I scan down plexes in hostile sov, and run them on my pve blops. I have to run gatecamps and such with a t3 cruiser or covert cyno ship, and light around the gatecamp to move my blops. Often times I am multiboxing a hunter and fuel truck. The example killmail I linked is an example of someone else using BLOPS for PVE and dying in a fire for being bad at it.
Please exit this conversation if you have tunnel vision and aren't able to think creatively. I have a lot of kills in a blops. I'm currently floating in a 1.6b blops. A large part of eve is thinking outside of the box, and that definitely applies to how you use ships. You seem to be incapable of doing this, so I recommend exiting the discussion or adding something productive.

But PVP viability escapes the frigate w/out being able to fit an expanded probe launcher. Hoping this is fixed before going live. The lack of CPU bonus to probe launchers was deliberate. I don't know how many times this has to be said before people understand it.
I'm glad you're such an expert on these ships.
