Enter the Portal – Black Ops Update

Also:

All Covert Ops exploration ships will receive a reduction in capacitor need to initiate warp, preventing them from finding themselves out of capacitor while mid-warp. The Helios and Cheetah will then be receiving a cloaked velocity bonus. The Anathema and Buzzard will instead excel at scanning with a reduction in scan deviation.

I realize you’re trying to do the ‘one shield and one armor race have each bonus’, but this means that the Amarr/Caldari have all the advantages in probing down enemy fleets. Hardly seems the way to go during a Quadrant where you’re highlighting the empires (and thus, the Amarr/Caldai v Gallente/Minmatar conflict). In terms of balance-of-power, you just gave all of this update’s CovOps edge to one side.

Might I suggest swapping the bonus to the Anathema and Cheetah, and the ‘faster while cloaked’ to the Helios and Buzzard (which is already 100m/s slower than the Cheetah, as a ‘shield scout’).

Or just give both buffs to all of them, pacifier and t3 covert sub included. It’s the only weird part of this update really.
