Hi!
As I have all racial BS trained to V to be able to fly Marauders now I also think about training Black Ops battleships. As I understand those are the sole subcaps equipped with jump-drive and other fancy stuff like covert cynos & portals. Unfortunately I am not member of any large alliance with cyno network so I'd like to know if flying Black Ops BS solo I will be able to jump to third-party/neutral cynos fields/generators in low/null-sec safely? If not, a cyno alt is my only remaining option?
Thanks! |

I see!
Maybe I should explain to you why I need Black Ops battleship. I want to move my T3 cruisers safely from high-sec to null-sec using covert jump portal generator. Yet I'm afraid I do not fully understand game mechanics. I suppose I need three alts/players to achieve that:
- first alt - covert cyno lighting pilot placed in null-sec
- second alt - Black Ops pilot creating jump portal generator
- third alt - T3 cruiser pilot jumping from high to null sec
Am I correct? What about jumping back then? |

Well, I must think more about this puzzle...JF with T3 cruiser inside its cargo-hold looks interesting but JF costs too much for me...
Anyway, do Black Ops battleships have any utility outside covert jumping & porting area? I mean running L4 missions, PvP, support roles etc. |

OK! Terrifying Sin is now in my hangar. I will test it in level 4 missions soon as a direct upgrade from Dominix!
PS. What does "Enter Starbase Forcefield Password" mean? |

Now I definately need to train cyno alt to practice jumping operations in some quiet low-sec <-> high-sec pocket. Unfortunately that means setting up second account. Well, maybe trial account would be enough for the first month? Anyway my cyno alt should train Cynosural Field Theory to V because covert cyno field is a thing I want to have in my disposal.
@Zhilia Mann: Well, carriers are now in my reach after I've trained bunch of jump-drive skills to fly BO battleships and after investing 7 mil. SP in drones. However I am not ready to move to low/null-sec space to do ratting solo there... |

Of course but I am trying to find some unorthodox solutions, too! |

Hi again!
I created new alt. What limited set of skills is needed for expendable cyno alt? |

That's great covert cyno alt skill-set but a distant perspective for me at that point. Now I want to quickly train non-covert cyno alt. |

You persuaded me to covert cyno alt so I will train one in the next one and half month. Why? Because I have read about running DED sites in null-sec with a BLOPS and a scout-alt flying cov-ops frigate who scans down DED sites and light covert cynos for my BLOPs main.
What do you thing about this chilling idea??? What BLOPS would be the best against Serpentis or Gurista DEDs? |

First off, in this scenario I will use only two alts:
1. Scouting alt flying cov-ops frigate with covert cyno & core probe launcher fitted.
2. BLOPS alt as DED runner.
My plan is as follows:
1. Covert cyno alt has two jump clones: one residing permanently in NPC null-sec staton and second one placed in high-sec close to some low-sec "extraction system".
2. BLOBS alt placed in high-sec jumps directly to null-sec (to covert cyno lighted by jump clone alt residing there).
3. Later they both carry out hunter-killer operation against NPC DED sites.
4. After some valuable loot is collected second cyno alt's jump clone in high sec is activated. Then he light cyno in low-sec "extraction system" so BLOBS alt can jump back there and return to high-sec safely.
What is your opinion about this plan? |

And what do you think about carrier ratting in NPC null-sec? Is it more cost-effective and safe than all that mess with BLOPS, T3, cyno alts, jumping, gate-camps? |

I asked because in theory I can fly a carrier in a month. However I agree with you carrier ratting makes sense only if you are member of alliance holding SOV in null-sec ("friendly territory").
Besides there were some huge changed to carriers introduced by CCP several months ago I am not familiar with. Well, till now capital ships were outside my consideration... |

How to live in WH alone? Should I build my own POS there?
Now I can fly: Tengu, Proteus, Ishtar, Deimos, Caracal, Eagle. Which one is good for WH PvE? |

Well, I have never conducted manufacturing activity in EVE (no skills here...) so will you tell me what is cost of establishing a POS?
As for null-sec ratting. That's interesting idea to rent some system in SOV NULL but do you know how much it will cost and what alliances offer such service to solo players? |
