With a ship that costs over a billion ISK, it should be something that players are able to use confidently while also putting their ship on the line in exchange for extreme firepower. These changes are being introduced in order to help bring the Black Ops out of the shadows and into the forefront as the top of the line in covert gameplay. The current cloak speed velocity will be moved to a role bonus with all Black Ops ships receiving a 650% bonus to ship max velocity when using Cloaking Devices. Black Ops Battleship RebalancingĪs Black Ops ships will now be seeing more action on the front lines, they will be receiving significant buffs to their damage and new bonuses to help them excel in their role. Black Ops Group Jump passengers are limited to classes which can fit a Covert Ops Cloak, so no changes to ships that can already bridge through a covert portal. In order to do so, the passengers must fulfil the usual requirements including not being warp disrupted or in a bubble, not cloaked, and clear of Jump Fatigue. The Group Jump mechanic will allow ships within jump range of the Black Ops battleship and in the same fleet to act as a “passenger” on the jump, travelling with the battleship. This will help these flagships jump onto the front lines faster to join the fleet in a covert ambush. This has had the unfortunate side effect of relegating the ultimate covert battleship to a support and travel tool.Īs part of the Enter the Portal update, all Black Ops battleships will have a new ability built into the Jump Portal Generator, enabling them to perform a new Group Jump with their fleet at a much-reduced fuel cost over using a Bridge. The current design also allows them to use Covert Jump Portal Generator to bridge covert ops fleet members through instead of jumping themselves. The below changes will be live on Singularity today so head on over to the test server to try them out! Black Ops Group Jumpsīlack Ops battleships are Tech II ships with their own built-in jump drives, allowing them to launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting foes through a Covert Cynosural Field. Covert Ops exploration ships are also being rebalanced to help them excel in their scouting role and live to cloak another day. Each of the empires’ Black Ops battleships are receiving new bonuses and a damage buff alongside improvements to their travel capabilities both on-grid and around New Eden.
Get ready for a new era of clandestine warfare with an update to covert gameplay in the Enter the Portal update.
