In EVE Online, intelligence operatives train rigorously in the art of surveillance and counter-surveillance. They master the nuances of creating surveillance detection routes (SDRs) through space, where ships jump between systems in unpredictable patterns to shake off pursuers. Covert intel teams work seamlessly with a variety of specialized ships—from agile frigates and stealth bombers to cloaked reconnaissance ships. These operatives rely on tools like zKillboard to track player kills and activity patterns, as well as DOTLAN maps for real-time navigation and strategic planning, often coordinating with scout fleets—all while evading detection from rival intel teams.
