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.
