Sleepless Sentinels in the [[ | Sleepless Sentinels in the [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and Sleepless Keepers in the [[Vital Core Reservoir]] have low scan resolution; 130mm and 150mm. [[Stealth Bombers]] have large signature radius for frigates but the range (38m-42m) is small enough to allow them to de-cloak and cloak up after firing a few volleys of torpedoes. Stealth Bombers have a cloak reactivation delay of 15s. While the Sleepless Keepers can lock a stealth bomber in under 15 seconds, there is a delay before they start locking and this gives all stealth bombers enough time to cloak up without getting targeted. However the margin for error with Sleepless Keepers is very low and even a little extra latency can lead to the battleships locking you up before you can cloak. | ||

Emergent Keepers tend to become active fast and may even get some repairs off in the process. This may lead to some of the frigates lasting longer than the rest. To avoid blowing up the wrecks deploy a Mobile Tractor Unit at range from the warp in. | Emergent Keepers tend to become active fast and may even get some repairs off in the process.

As the main concept relies heavily on having a low signature radius all modules that add to signature radius should be avoided like Shield Extenders, Inertial Stabilizers, etc. The Bomb Launcher might be needed to clear frigates for the Vital Core Reservoir sites but it must be taken offline before shooting torpedoes at Sleeper Battleships to remove the additional signature radius it adds to the fit. | As the main concept relies heavily on having a low signature radius all modules that add to signature radius should be avoided like Shield Extenders, Inertial Stabilizers, etc. The Bomb Launcher might be needed to clear frigates for the Vital Core Reservoir sites but it must be taken offline before shooting torpedoes at Sleeper Battleships to remove the additional signature radius it adds to the fit. | ||
After signature radius the next concern is DPS. This is usually about finding a balance between DPS output and missile application with the CPU available on the stealth bomber. | After signature radius the next concern is DPS.

Biwako Acami introduced the use of bombs to clear Vital Core Reservoir gas sites. Testing was conducted by Pink Kondur, Professor Academic, Danny Algaert, Biwako Acami and other [[Wormhole Community]] members across different wormhole systems with different effects. The method is named after the players involved in initial theory crafting and testing. Every new attempt made is still a learning experience. | ||
