The way i see it, blops are fine for now.
The "125% bonus to ship max velocity when using Cloaking Devices" would arguably work better with covops cloaks, but then Black ops would be very op.
Blops are Supplise sex!, They dont need more tank or t2 resists, usually you set up the stage , drop and hit the targets (do the mind job).
The only thing that blops could do with, is more sensor strength , like recons, less susceptible to e-war.
Marauders get t2 resists via bastion, but that has drawbacks, like 1+1 minutes not able to move or dock.
The only Black ops ship that sucks is the widow, if you want to utilize ecm, then either shield or armour tanking it, you are paper thin compared to other races, other races have the option to paper tank the ship, for tactical reasons . Widow needs some love, maybe if you want to use ecm, drop a falcon , thats its job. Give the widow some other bonus

You can't cloak until you are at zero velocity?

The speed bonus while cloaked, HP, more fuel consumption, less base speed, covert cynos would be inhibited by cyno jammers, you name it.
If they could warp cloaked or were immune to Dscan, they would lose something in return. BLOPS are not in the same position as Recons before they got their HP buff and Dscan immunity gifted to the Force Recons. They were in a position where T3 and HAC outshone their capabilities by miles. BLOPS, on the other hand, are right now in a position that makes them a very powerful tool to use for their role and purpose. If they, in addition to their initial assault and run capability, could also sneak around undetected in a system, they would just get to another powerlevel and lose one of their few "weaknesses" (which is one of their strengths at the same time), which requires a cut of stats on other ends. Adding COC or DI to this power can only mean that they have to give something away.

You are so hell bent on getting a Covert Ops cloak on the BlOps BS that you are willing to trash many people's current play style just so you can enjoy BlOps BS in a way they were never intended to or needed to be enjoyed. BlOps BS are a T2 SPECIALIZED ship. It's specialization is the ability to jump to a cyno and to bridge fleets to a cyno. Nothing else. It isn't designed to, and never should be, be a covert ops cloaking ship. THAT IS NOT IT'S JOB/SPECIALIZATION.
Chance Ravinne wrote:Going to try to be objective here, having just trained into BOs myself, but having many BO pilots in my corporation.
When people ask for covops cloak on BOs, it's probably not because they think these ships need it for mobility or because they are hugely gimped without covops cloaking. It's probably due to one of two reasons. (again just trying to interpret, not saying it should happen)
1. These pilots trained into BO after falling in love with other ganky cloaky sneaky ships like bombers, Stratios, recons, and Proteus. They got a taste of frigate and cruiser cloaky shenanigans and want "the next thing." Black Ops feels like that thing to many players, but it is hugely different from how you fly the aforementioned ships. Covops cloak closes that gap.
2. They operate in places where the jump technology is not useful, either wormholes or hisec. For these players, saying "BO is super mobile it has jump drive" means nothing. You are telling them "BO is useless in your preferred space."
In addition to #1, Black Ops lack the ability to be used as true solo ships in the way you can use many other cloaky style gank ships. Not having a covops cloak or dscan immunity basically means your only approach option is camping one spot or jumping on a target. And jumping on a target requires at least a fleet or cyno alt.
BOs don't NEED covops cloak, but if they had this and/or dscan immunity their applications and ranges of use would be wider and more in line with the "natural" progression of sneaky gank ships players may expect. Covops would require some kind of small nerd to balance; dscan immunity may not be a big ask by comparison. Shame on those of you that are advocating changes such as these to BlOps BS for reason that Chance Ravinne brings up. Shame on those of you for advocating a ship be ruined just because a ship is specialized and other people use it in a way that you do not find useful for your play style. If you want a BS sized ship that you can go cloaky hunting in the advocate for a new ship from CCP. But do not ruin other people's fun because they use ships and enjoy playing the game in a way that you do not. I respect your play style and have no problem with you enjoying the game in certain ways. It would be nice if you did the same. |

As noted in the description: Black Ops battleships are designed for infiltration and espionage behind enemy lines.
Covert black ops seems perfect for that.

it can already use gates but as explained to add an additional means of travel will mean something will need to be removed, most probably the jump drive or how it works so the cov ops cloak will become viable, cov ops cloak is just a sloppy means of travel for such a niche ship

Yes, hence the covert cyno that doesn't appear on overview and the cloak ability with less penalties. Anything more and you will tip the balance. Its the only Battleship platform that can be projected without employing a Titan. Not every1 has one ( i think ...:))
Another note , the jump portal generation skill reduces strontium consumption in titans, without having any effect in Blops. Maybe CCP could allow that skill to reduce the consumption of fuel for ships passing through a portal ONLY, not for jumping the actual ship. That way more ppl could join the fun

So your argument is based on the assumption that a covert cloak mean it will need to have the jump drive removed... FAIL
I have already explained why a covert ops is even less op than it is on other covert capable ships and if have even suggested a solution that address your concern about covert ops being able to escape too easily when combined with a jump drive and mjd...

I think you are the one that misread. Did you thin i meant "prevent warping after cyno"? because i clearly said "prevent cloaked warping after cyno". Your style of play would be completely unaffected if this were the case.

I never interpreted what you said as preventing warp after cynoing in. You still don't understand how important the cloaked velocity bonus is to the survive-ability of BlOps BS. Until you understand that you will never see just how massive of a nerf it is that you are proposing. Of couse it a nerf you will never have to deal with because you won't ever cyno around. How convenient is that.... |

Dude what are you talking about?
Who who said the cloaked velocity bonus would be removed?
How would your style of play be changed if other people used blops to warp cloaked?
I assume your objection is based on the idea that a bonus would need to be removed to accommodate to cloak warp.. What is your basis for this?

I assume your objection is based on the idea that a bonus would need to be removed to accommodate to cloak warp.. What is your basis for this? Because if you don't remove the cloaked velocity bonus I will be going 731m/s cloaked in a double 1600mm plated Redeemer with no prop mod going. If I turn on my MWD and hit my cloak I will be going ~4.5km/s cloaked. You can't tell me that CCP is going to be okay with that. The cloaked velocity bonus works because non-covert ops cloaks have a velocity penalty. If you give me a cloaked velocity bonus (even a nerfed bonus) with a covert ops cloak either it will be broken without a prop mod, or with a prop mod. It may even be broken with both.
My play style will get a nerf. There is no way CCP is going to let BlOps BS get a covert ops cloak without a compensatory nerf. You seem pretty fine with whatever that nerf may be. I am not because that nerf will affect how effective I am in combat. BlOps just need to be adjusted stats wise and have some bonuses changed around. They don't need significant buffs or nerf.
If you want a cloaky hunting ship go complaint to CCP to fix the Nestor. Don't mess with BlOps. |

Give Blops mini doomday devices, like titans (utilizing same skill). Once you fire it, you do an xyz amount of dps but cannot move for 5 minutes. No need for a skill to be monopolized by 1 ship.
CCP GIVE US DOOMSDAY CAPABILITY !!!! Now we will hunt supers with Blops \o/ , a whole armada of them. Unless ofc you opt for old school DD on blops, damaging each other in the process .
That would be fun...

You should have just said that from the start, then i would have counted with - simply change the % of the cloaked velocity bonus so that a Blops with a covert cloak can only go as fast as the current blops with a regular cloak.

Needs and wants, this thread is about what they need to balance them not what you "want " them to do to make them more useful to your playstyle, adding more features is not balancing
Rek Seven wrote:My reason for wanting a covert cloak or Ewar bonuses or the ability to jump without a cyno is so i can use it as a solo hunter without being almost completely dependant on having a cyno alt. That is a WANT not a NEED and i'll leave the latter for CCP to figure out
Solo hunter implies you will use gates, because using a jumpdrive causes fatigue and thats just a pretty useless hunter
Rek Seven wrote:the fact that more people are asking for changes/buffs than not, indicate that Black ops do need certain changes.
which you sort of assume they need a cov ops cloak so they can be useful in all areas of space, (HS + WH)

No need for a skill to be monopolized by 1 ship. CCP GIVE US DOOMSDAY CAPABILITY !!!! Now we will hunt supers with Blops \o/ , a whole armada of them. Unless ofc you opt for old school DD on blops, damaging each other in the process . That would be fun...
I support this, always a delight to hear that Mavros Pete had another novel idea, good job son....... now go back to sleep. |

You should have just said that from the start, then i would have counted with - simply change the % of the cloaked velocity bonus so that a Blops with a covert cloak can only go as fast as the current blops with a regular cloak. (Faction cloaks be damned) Issue resolved. Feature approved! No not at all. You would have to give me something on the order of a ~56% cloaked velocity bonus. And you still, yet again, are ignoring the fact that I will have to take a nerf that I neither want nor need to my play style so you can go cloaky hunting. There is no nerf that is worth that. If you want a cloaky hunting ship then go ask for one. Don't ruin my enjoyment and play style. I am not ruining yours. |

To anyone unaware, the quotes from the guy above are being posted out of context and what i actually said concerning Blops ballance in relation to other covert ships was this:
Rek Seven wrote: when you compare a cover black ops to all other covert combat ships, it would fit in nicely.
DPS would only be a little more than a T3 or stratios
Their tank and scan res are lower than a t3
Their align time is longer, making them easier to catch on gates
As a wormholer, i often camp a small number of systems for a long time using a covert ops capable ship. Successfully locating and killing the target without the use of combat probes would highly ineffective without a cloak combined with the d-scan tool.
Now if black ops had the ability to warp cloaked, it would be less effective at this task and it would be easier for hostiles to catch me on a wormhole (or gate). That and the weaknesses i mentioned in my quote, balance the ability to fit heavy neuts and a MJD (the only advantage) in my mind.
However, for K-space operations, I have already acknowledged that the ability to cyno into a system and immediately be able to warp cloaked might be considered OP. As suggested in my previous posts, game mechanics can be implemented to allay this fear or altered to ensure that the status quo for black ops activities are unaffected.
I don't think i can explain my position any better or reasonable than that.
You sound like an idiot when you say "create content" when you mean find a fight, gank, etc... Stop it!

What your post tells me is that you see them as this magical hope for your dreams of a cloaky warping BS. They aren't that. They are not combat ships in the way that you want them to be. When you take the whole package it is a "barely there" ship class. It's pretty clear you have no real experience with them because you don't understand that the compensatory nerf for the covert cloak will turn them for just "barely usable" to "trash" really quickly. These are not solo ships. They are not really capable of, nor designed to, solo much of anything. What makes BlOps powerful is they you have bombers, recons, and BlOps. The magic comes from the bombers and recons applying enough EWAR that your BlOps BS doesn't get killed. Another way to use BlOps is to jump in enough BlOps BS that you kill the target before it can kill one of your BlOps BS. I would never jump in my BlOps BS solo. Its strength comes from other ships on the field giving it the freedom to operate at low to no risk. You aren't going to have that when you solo.
I am totally down with you having a cloaky hunting BS. I have no problem with that. BlOps are not what you are looking for. Make a convincing argument for CCP to make the Nestor worth using. CCP is totally willing to listen to well made arguments if you are persistent in advocating for a change. |
