On November 19th Agony will run two simultaneous classes - one for each stealth frigate ship type (CovOps and Stealth Bomber). The material will start out with two separate lectures covering material for each ship type, and then we'll all get together for live-fire practicals and to prepare for a roam on the 20th. Prereqs for both classes is PVP-WOLFPACKS.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR BOTH CLASSES! Sign up for the ship type you're most interested in learning about - CovOps for fleet scout, BlackOps cyno, and getting drops on targets; Steath Bombers for flybys and BlackOps DPS. If this goes well, we may run it again and you can take the other half of the course.
The success or failure of a fleet operation depends on reliable and timely intelligence. What is the opposing fleet's location, strength, makeup? These are all things the Fleet Commander needs to know in order to make good decisions and lay effective traps.
PVP-COVOPS will provide you with the basic knowledge needed to fly as a covert ops scout for a fleet. The class will meet in highsec and proceed immediately into nullsec. Class practicals will occur in nullsec, and there is a real possibility of you losing your ship. There will be a few staged exercises but we may also head out into deeper reaches of nullsec and at the end of class you will be offered the opportunity to test yourself and your skills with an exercise wherein you will likely have to evade multiple hostile forces and retrieve a few items.
The class is tailored for the younger covops pilots but would be still be a good review for more experienced stealth specialists.
The core topics this class will be covering are:
- Strengths, weaknesses, and uses of the CovOps ship
- Ship fitting and skills needed to fly this ship effectively
- Directional scanner and probing
- Recon reporting format
- Gatecamp evasion
- Getting invisibly on top of a target to provide a warp-in for your fleet
- Using a Covert Ops Cyno
