Specifically engineered to fire torpedoes, stealth bombers represent the next generation in covert ops craft. The bombers are designed for sneak attacks on large vessels with powerful missile guidance technology enabling the torpedoes to strike faster and from a longer distance. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Manticore is the most popular of the stealth bomber class, mainly because of its considerably higher CPU than the others, which makes it easier to fit higher quality launchers.

- The Bomb Launcher can only be used in null-sec or wormholes. It can be omitted to ease fitting requirements or if bombing runs are not planned.
- Ideally, someone else will do the tackling for the bombers so they can stay at the edge of torpedo range to avoid incoming damage.
- Use the scan resolution damping script until the target you are attacking is able to lock you. Then switch to the range damping script.
