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. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
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.
Skills
While the skills above will allow you to 'fly' the Manticore it is pointless to fly a Stealth Bomber without a covert ops cloaking device (Cloaking IV), or torpedo launchers (Torpedoes I).
Required to function as a Stealth Bomber:
Suggested Skills:
- Navigation III
- Acceleration Control III
- Warp Drive Operation III
- Spaceship Command IV
- Evasive Maneuvering III
- CPU Management V
- Power Grid Management V
- Capacitor Management III
- Target Painting II
- Electronic Warfare II
- Sensor Linking II
- Long Range Targeting III
- Signature Analysis III
- Target Management III
- Shield Management III
- Shield Operation III
- Energy Grid Upgrades III
- Launcher Rigging II
- Astronautics Rigging II
- Jury Rigging III
- 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:
- Missile Bombardment IV
- Missile Projection III
- Rapid Launch III
- Target Navigation Prediction III
- Warhead Upgrades III
- Bomb Deployment I
- Covert Ops IV
