Hello peoples, I am still relativly new to EVeonline but I have a suggestion that I have thought through and also inquired about with older players. Right now my ship of choice is a covops frigate, the Cheetah to be exact. One thing that bothers me is that this ships oiginal purpose seems to be exsploration and none combat scout. It fit the exsploration purpose perfectly but as a scout i feel it has a major almost crippling flaw. As we all know when you go through a gate youexit with "gate cloak" and must exit gate cloak an re-enter covops cloak to warp away which reveals youre position so interdictors can bubble you and possibly decloak and with the new cloaking effect "which I love by the way" you can also be seen longer as you recloak and try to escape the bubble. Having to recloak also allows people fit to insta lock you a chance to tackle you. both these factors severly limit covops firgates use as a scout and the job of scouting is often filled by interseptor who are immune to interdiction and usualy are fittied with warp stabs which I dont think scouting was the interseptors designed purpose.
What I suggest to fix this is to allow Covops Fit ships to Exit Gates/Wormholes with the covops cloak enguaged or atleast be allowed to activate the covops cloak with the gate cloak active. I still think that cloaked ship should have the 2km decloak and have to enter gates uncloaked as to let people watching one side of the gate warn the campers on the otherside. I even think conidering limiting this feature to exsporation frigates as to not give stealth bombers another advantage but i persinaly dont think that is nessacary.
I belive doing this would give all fleets and wormhole dwellers a great asset to use and further improve the depth of the eve universe and make the covops ships much more usefull as scouts and give a true meaning to the name of the ship class "covert operations". I hope to get possitive feedback and am looking foward to seeing youre responce and the responce of the community.
P.S. I know I cant spell or grammer correctly I did my best im dxslexic |

If the camp is excellent, you might get caught. If they're below that, you usually get away. If you don't like bubbles, stay out of nullsec or adapt.
I'm sorry if i did not make this clear in my post but this is more of a suggestion and i want feedback on my idea. what everyone is saying is very informative even ur suggestion of how to escape i will try this strategy and see how it work for me so ty for the info.
I by no means want a feature to overpower any ship even the ones I fly. i love nullsec and i live in nullsec. i do think bubbles are annoying and I can escape them most of the time but i do think bubbles are a great feature

Generally if something is broken out-of-the-box in F&I, it'll get told so and trolled into oblivion, which seems to be the case here. Not all feedback is valuable and accepting that an idea isn't going to go forward because of either being overpowered or being stupid is as valuable as continuing to throw new ideas.
I agree I was wrong in my idea. I should have asked a more wide variety of people. There will always be trolls in anything you do especially if you post misconceptions on a forum. I have no regrets and have learned from this post. Fly safe
