Specifically engineered to fire torpedoes, or bombs, 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: Boundless Creation

Boundless Creation ships are based on the Brutor tribe's philosophy of warfare: simply fit as much firepower onto your ship as humanly possible. On the other hand, defense systems and "cheap tricks" like electronic warfare have never been a high priority.

Summary

The Hound (Minmatar Stealth Bomber)- A highly versatile ship, made more so in a bomber fleet. The single hound is capable of working as a fleet scout, though rarely recommended do to its value, and lack of a probe launcher. It can add damage to a regular (non-stealthed) fleet, if used wisely. And a personal favorite use is to killmail whore in nul-sec. Though for the last, use of bombs is highly recommended. In fleets it's versatility is vastly expanded due to greater damage, and coordination. While it's agility allows for improvisation in many engagements.
