{{MissionLinks}}Pilots enlisted in [[Faction Warfare]] may run '''faction warfare missions''' offered by agents of the four Factional Warfare NPC corporations ("militias"). These missions work similarly to the [[Missions#Encounter_Missions|encounter missions]] offered by agents of [[Empire]] corporations, although there are a few notable differences (detailed below). Note that these missions do not contribute to the core Factional Warfare mechanics (capturing or defending star systems in the [[Factional Warfare#War zones|war zones]]), although they take place in the same regions of space. | {{MissionLinks}}Pilots enlisted in [[Faction Warfare]] may run '''faction warfare missions''' offered by agents of the four Factional Warfare NPC corporations ("militias").

However, Stealth Bombers are also very fragile, and so a pilot must take care to keep their transversal velocity as high as possible (and avoid enemy ships with [[web]]s); one or two lucky hits from NPC battleships will quickly destroy a Stealth Bomber. Additionally, they are most effective against Amarr NPCs (i.e. fighting for the Minmatar militia), as the Amarrian EWAR (tracking disruption) does not affect their missile launchers. | However, Stealth Bombers are also very fragile, and so a pilot must take care to keep their transversal velocity as high as possible (and avoid enemy ships with [[web]]s); one or two lucky hits from NPC battleships will quickly destroy a Stealth Bomber.

Good alternatives to Stealth Bombers (for running level 3 and 4 missions) are Cruisers, Battlecruisers, and Heavy Assault Cruisers. These ships have considerably more hit points than Stealth Bombers, and so are more forgiving to fly; however, they are also much more ponderous and so travel through the war zones is more dangerous. Also, Heavy Assault Cruisers in particular are expensive, and losing one will put a serious dent in your income from mission-running. Keep in mind to fit your ship to attack the NPCs' weaknesses; [[Missiles|missile]] and [[Turrets#Projectile turrets|projectile turret]] ships can therefore be used against all enemies, while [[Turrets#Hybrid turrets|hybrid turret]] ships are best against the Caldari and Gallente, and [[Turrets#Energy turrets|energy turret]] ships best against the Amarr. Most enemy players in Factional Warfare fly frigates and destroyers; since it's a lot easier to catch a cruiser or battlecruiser than a Stealth Bomber, it may be wise to fit your larger mission-running ships to also fight off enemy players' frigates and destroyers (e.g. using [[web]]s or [[electronic warfare# | Good alternatives to Stealth Bombers (for running level 3 and 4 missions) are Cruisers, Battlecruisers, and Heavy Assault Cruisers.
