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. Developer: Lai Dai Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships.

Summary

The Manticore is the most popular of the stealth bomber class, mainly because of its considerably higher CPU than the others, which makes it easier to fit higher quality launchers.
