Espionage Covert Ops/Black Ops and Intelligence

[Arrogant Devil]

I'm wondering if anyone has thought of starting a group here in Test based around Covert Ops/Black Ops. I understand that CIG wants to have the game on multiple servers rather creating a single shard universe, so I'm not sure how viable CovOps and BlackOps will be as a play style. Any thoughts?

Pretty sure they're going for the single shard universe thing again. Also, since we can assassinate high level NPCs (maybe a member of the UEE Senate or even the Imperator?) I could really see black ops being a thing. However, I think we've already got the covert ops covered what with everybody in the Squadron being a spai, so we shouldn't really do much of that.

just to be clear, all those TESTes are spais for other orgs

Lord knows, we haven't a prayer of keeping any secrets of our own

That would be good if they went for the single shard universe cause it would make Covertops and BlackOps more viable to play. But I'm also curious if we had any plans to create a group designed around that aspect of play style because it would be useful for wars. If we didn't have someone creating one here in Test I was going to see if maybe I could maybe start the group and see how many of us would be interested in that style of gameplay.

I hope that's a good thing. :p

it's pragmatic

with no admissions standards anyone can plant a spai in our ranks

so we just assume everyone is a spai and go about our business

for sure any covert ops division we created would soon be full of spais

That makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about it on that perspective.

I agree!!
I like that kind of gameplay!!

Pretty sure the 404th (Squadron not found) covers this stuff pretty well. Black ops, assassinations, stealthy recon, etc etc.

If anything in TEST required intelligence to join, we'd all be fucked.
