So we're going to do something a bit different in November:

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

Logistical details:
  • Course Code: COVOPS - 20111119
  • Time and Duration: Lecture and Practicals: November 19th at 20:00 (Approx 5 hours, allow, 6). Roam: November 20th at 20:00.
    Allow yourself enough time to arrive on time. Instructors will not wait for you.
  • Price: 50m isk per pilot
    Send the course fee directly to the Agony Unleashed corporation. Reference the course code in the transfer.
  • Meeting Location: Stacmon Impro Station pV
  • Instructors: dzu, Caldak
  • Maximum Enrollment: 15 17 (including Agony)
  • Prerequisites: PVP-BASIC, PVP-WOLFPACKS

Alright, class is full. Get your payments in (if not using a corp account), and I'll get you on the "signed in" list. Looking forward to a good class!

Everyone is paid up and enrolled. Reading material should be open. If you don't have access yet, though, shoot Deran a PM and he'll sort it. See you on the 19th!

To answer questions that some enrollees have had . . . We'll run CovOps on the live server, not Sisi. The class will run 4-5 hours, I expect.

Then, for the 16 17 of you signed up for CovOps, if you want to learn some more about black ops in preparation for Sunday's roam, you can get onto Sisi with a stealth frigate of your choice and join Caldak for things like tackling and cynos . . . or you can listen in on TeamSpeak if you don't have the test server up. Sunday's roam will be on the live server.

I'm leaving this thread open for questions, discussion.

Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Hi dzu I was just wondering if we were going to meeting meeting in Stacmon for the class on the 19th or someplace else. Just thinking it was about time for me to move a ship or two to wherever we are going to be :) Thanks! Aeth

Oh, yeah, thanks. I forgot that it still says "TBA" for meeting place. Stacmon Impro Station pV it is.

Fate - I hope your daughter is alright :( Fate and Cynn - PM me when the next CovOps is announced, and I'll get you enrolled, if you're still interested/able to make it. You're also credited for tuition. John - no, no poddings. I'll make sure that the "enemy" gate camp knows ;) See you all soon.
