=== Phase IVa: Covert Ops Frigate ===

While T1 frigates provide a cheap option to get started on exploration, serious explorers should develop skills that will eventually enable them to fly Tech II Covert Ops ships. T2 exploration frigates provide superior hacking and scanning bonuses and can fit Covert Ops Cloaking Devices and Interdiction Nullifier modules (to help escape bubbles) both of which significantly improve the ships’ survivability.
