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. | The '''Manticore''' is the Caldari [[Stealth Bomber]].

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 ({{sk|Cloaking|IV}}), or torpedo launchers ({{sk|Torpedoes|I}}). | 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 ({{sk|Cloaking|IV}}), or torpedo launchers ({{sk|Torpedoes|I}}). | ||

Like all stealth bombers, the Manticore is designed for surprise attacks against specific targets.

The Manticore is a fierce mythological creature originating in ancient Persian legends and widespread in medieval and early-modern European art. It is usually depicted with a human or human-like head, a lion's body, and a spiny, poisonous tail. | The Manticore is a fierce mythological creature originating in ancient Persian legends and widespread in medieval and early-modern European art.
