== 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 '''Manticore''' is the Caldari [[Stealth Bomber]]. Its unique selling point is its high CPU, which means that, unlike the Nemesis, it can comfortably populate its 4 mid slots. This makes the Manticore arguably the best solo torpedo bomber, since it can use its mids to fit EWAR modules to prevent a target from fighting back.

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.

Developer: Lai Dai

Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships.

SHIP BONUSES

Caldari Frigate bonuses (per skill level):
10% bonus to Torpedo flight time
15% bonus to Torpedo max velocity
Covert Ops bonuses (per skill level):
5% bonus to kinetic Bomb damage
15% bonus to kinetic Torpedo damage
Role Bonus:
99.65% reduction in Torpedo Launcher powergrid requirement
50% reduction in Cloaking Devices CPU requirement
• No targeting delay after Cloaking Device deactivation
• Can fit Covert Ops Cloaking Device, Covert Cynosural Field Generator and Bomb Launcher
• Cloak reactivation delay reduced to 15 seconds

This makes the Manticore arguably the best solo torpedo bomber, since it can use its mids to fit EWAR modules to prevent a target from fighting back.
