==Summary==
== Summary ==
''The Hound (Minmatar Stealth Bomber)-'' A highly versatile ship, made more so in a bomber fleet.
The '''Hound''' is the Minmatar [[Stealth Bomber]]. It is bonused for explosive torpedoes and bombs. Stealth Bombers are mostly quite similar, but the Hound's unique selling point is its speed and agility, which makes it a good bomber since it is more likely to make its escape after bombing.
The single hound is capable of working as a fleet scout, though rarely recommended do to its value, and lack of a probe launcher. It can add damage to a regular (non-stealthed) fleet, if used wisely. And a personal favorite use is to killmail whore in nul-sec. Though for the last, use of bombs is highly recommended. In fleets it's versatility is vastly expanded due to
 
greater damage, and coordination. While it's agility allows for improvisation in many
== Skills ==
engagements.
While the skills above will allow you to 'fly' the Hound it is pointless to fly a Stealth Bomber without a covert ops cloaking device ({{sk|Cloaking|IV}}), or torpedo launchers ({{sk|Torpedoes|I}}).
 
Suggested Skills:
* {{sk|Navigation|III}}
* {{sk|Acceleration Control|III}}
* {{sk|Warp Drive Operation|III}}
* {{sk|Spaceship Command|IV}}
* {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|III}}
* {{sk|CPU Management|V}}
* {{sk|Power Grid Management|V}}
* {{sk|Capacitor Management|III}}

* {{sk|Energy Grid Upgrades|III}}
* {{sk|Launcher Rigging|II}}
* {{sk|Astronautics Rigging|II}}
* {{sk|Jury Rigging|III}}
* {{sk|Mechanics|IV}}
 
In addition, you will want to get missile launcher skills as high as possible, as well as Bomb Launching skills. These skills include:
* {{sk|Missile Bombardment|IV}}
* {{sk|Missile Projection|III}}
* {{sk|Rapid Launch|III}}
* {{sk|Target Navigation Prediction|III}}
* {{sk|Warhead Upgrades|III}}
* {{sk|Bomb Deployment|I}}
* {{sk|Covert Ops|IV}}
 
== Tactics ==
Like all stealth bombers, the Hound is designed for surprise attacks against specific targets. A general guide to stealth bombers is available [[Stealth Bomber|here]].


==Skills==
== Notes ==
While the skills above will allow you to 'fly' the Hound it is pointless to fly a Stealth Bomber without a covert ops cloaking device, or torpedo launchers.
