Stealth Bombers: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Stealth bombers''' are powerful, expensive (for their size) and extremely fragile. They can sneak up on targets using a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, then destroy it with torpedoes (a [[Missile Launchers|missile system]] designed for battleship sized ships) or use [[bombs]], a weapon unique to stealth bombers, which travel a fixed distance and explode for massive damage. Since they are T2 frigates, they are often one of the earliest T2 ships that new pilots can fly. This page discusses the available bombers and suggests ''possible'' fits for use in Eve University fleets.

The [[Hound]] is the Minmatar Stealth Bomber. It gets a bonus to explosive damage and uses Nova torpedoes. With the exception of the torpedo type, the fit is the same as the Purifier, though pilots may find it a touch easier to squeeze everything on due to a slight difference in CPU. It features a 5-3-3 layout, composing of three mid slots, and three low slots. It also has the fastest align time and highest scan resolution out of all of the bombers.

=== Manticore ===

[[Image:Manticore.jpg|thumb|The Caldari Manticore]]

The [[Manticore]] is the Caldari Stealth Bomber. It has the advantages of having ample CPU space and a slightly more ideal slot layout (5-4-2). It gets a bonus to kinetic damage and uses Scourge torpedoes.

=== Nemesis ===

[[Image:Nemesis.jpg|thumb|The Gallente Nemesis]]

[[Image:Nemesis.jpg|thumb|The Gallente Nemesis]]

The [[Nemesis]] is the Gallente Stealth Bomber. It shares the Manticore's slot layout. It has a bit less CPU, so it can't quite fit the same range of modules in its midslots. Pilots who wish to fit Tech 2 versions of the mid slot modules will find it difficult to fit as well. The Nemesis gets a bonus to thermal damage and uses Inferno torpedoes.

=== Purifier ===

=== Purifier ===

[[Image:Purifier.jpg|thumb|The Amarr Purifier]]

[[Image:Purifier.jpg|thumb|The Amarr Purifier]]

The [[Purifier]] is the Amarr Stealth Bomber. It shares the same slot layout as the Hound (5-3-3). It has the least CPU of any of the Stealth Bombers, which makes fitting tight and not quite as varied as the other races. It gets a bonus to EM damage and uses Mjolnir torpedoes.
