Well, can't claim that I intensely pondered this - but that title sounds much nicer 
Premise 1. CCP want's people to commit (more) to fights.
Premise 2. Cloaking rightaway when unsure if the engagement is an easy kill is chicken**** way to play the game.
Premise 3. Players feel that Black Ops not being able to move while cloaked is contrary to their name.
So, what if...
- Black Ops ships COULD mount Cov Ops cloaks and warp cloaked.
- The ships could NOT cloak immediately, but upon activation, the cloaking device would countdown 30 seconds before the cloak finally build up the screen sufficiently to cloak up the ship.
Now, you might think that what's the point in this cloaking delay, and you would be right - not much, unless you consider Widow that can potentially jam the ship or two locking it, cloak and start aligining under the cover of the cloak away from unfavourable engagement. Rest of the Black Ops are unlikely to accomplish similar feat.
This would support the ideal of commitment to the engagement (something Black Ops pilots most likely think is a bad idea) but it would also throw them a bone and allow them to find the engagement being able to warp cloaked - much like term Black Ops would hint tbh.
This would turn the cloak into a device that takes the ship to the target, but take away it's ability to allow too easy exit.
Well, that was just a raw unrefiend idea. I somehow suspect that most looking forward to Black Ops won't like it one bit

except for isnt the main part of the blackops to get behind the lines and let ppl jump to you. not easy to jump past gate camps uncloaked.

But wasn't that the job for the Cov Ops or Recon that then opens the covert cyno on suitable system? ...or is the fuel inefficiency so bad atm, that no one in their right minds is gonna jump anywhere? (haven't checked in more than a week the stats)

Say who's you to decide what way to play the game is more worthy then any other play style? (Deciding what versions of the game should never be used by anyone else because its a "chicken ****" way to play; Now I have heard everything.) And people say Eve players are more mature and level headed then the rest of the MMO community. I think not.

That's pretty worthless given one has to throw out the tank to do that. The Widow should really have a precision bonus instead to bring it into line with the rest of the Black Ops ships.
