Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 13:54:00 - [1] Edited by: Chinchek on 31/03/2009 13:54:54 Please CCP do not majorly alter the current role of the Stealth bomber. I just love the fun i have with the SB, love dodging inties, love annoying and popping falcons (greatly turns the battle), love sitting 190+km away from target using distance as a survival, i especially love the adrenaline rush you get by popping your target and skillfully avoiding hostiles.... Do not take this away from me (us), basically taking our favorite toys away! IMO** what would make this the perfect ship is bring back the cruise missile bonus and possibly add the increased cloak velocity.
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 14:48:00 - [2] lets say CCP implements this change, SB's will need a warp in point, move towards target, align, decloak around 5km, lock, fire torps, wait till hit, warp off... wait till you can recloak, warp back in the battlefield (hope there isnt a bubble and your warp in point is still alive), move towards target, algin... and repeat. (and hope on your second try there isnt a scrammer waiting for you)....... Big waste of time, my cruise/range SB will be a lot more useful...

Big waste of time, my cruise/range SB will be a lot more useful... ...or you can take some actual risk and just stay below battleship guns, spamming torps. If you're part of a gang (and you should be), it's not a given that the battleship will have time to kill you. Or the ability; you'll be immune to pretty much all battleship weapons except small/med drones. keep in mind that BS fleets contain small ships.... you will not be invisible on the battlefield, people will call you out
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 15:25:00 - [4] @Alex Harumichi i agree with you on the larger scale fleet scenario, but i think once a change in implemented, other players would keep it in mind and as soon as they see something decloak in the battlefield, it will draw there attention. we will have to see (but i hope not!)
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 15:46:00 - [5] Originally by: Malena Panic Really exciting proposal! I love the way that the SB is being redesigned to fill a niche role. I can already see some interesting synergies with existing ship classes. SB's do not need redesigning... just some tweaking for the better.
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 16:07:00 - [6] Originally by: Cailais Originally by: Vall Kor *Exactly if they are the 'anti-battleship' then the new SB must have enough DPS to SOLO engage a BS and have a chance* at winning the engagement,** ... ok fine, we need the dps to engage a battleship so we'll need what about 800-1000DPS? Ok devs get on it. Look, you're not going to get a frigate that can solo a BS and deal that amount of DPS. That's just daft. The SB (under current proposals) will assist a gang or fleet in delivering damage to a target - it can never be a solo pwnmobile vs battleships. C. ok so why bring a Torp SB to a field anyway? To eliminate the hassle of warping in and out to try to take down a battleship with your paper mache , just fly a battleship... battleship will be more useful since you don't have to engage at close distance and having to warp in and out... /me bangs head
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.31 18:41:00 - [7] @Cerui Tarshiel have you ever flown a SB? and how long? Do you not understand that SB are paper mache and will not work in close combat?????? IF CCP changes the curret stealth bomber to use torps, my manti is going to collect dust. Stealth bomber is the reason why i play this game, i love its current abilities and ccp takes that away from us, they will have unhappy customers. i didnt put all that time into cruise missiles skills and advancing in stealth bomber tactics when a needless change will impact the way us, Unhappy skilled stealth bomber pilots will play.

Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.04.01 21:26:00 - [9] i am 99.9% against this change, BUT, there is a but! If they do go ahead with this change, i dont see why cov op cloak should give us 30sec recloak, we will be dead <10sec.
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.04.01 21:30:00 - [10] Originally by: Zantaz Guys on test, can the stealth bomber now fit a plate and a repper, or DCU and resists? Or, while engaging battleships, toe to toe, are they supposed to be shield tanked now? Are the new slots low or meds? How about the tons of new grid and cap, is the fitting enough for small extenders or 800mm plates? Or have they gotten a major speed boost, so they can speed tank? Surely Chronitis has thought this all out. I can hardly wait to try out the new changes and start attacking battleships! I can't wait to try out the new tank fits! lol good thing we got the test server for trying crazy stunts like this^
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.04.01 22:40:00 - [11] cool, but goodluck getting 20 skilled SB pilots
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.04.03 12:24:00 - [12] Originally by: Thaxllssyllia Killed the very reasons i chose to fly a stealthbomber. Range advantage, abillity to recloak, significant alpha considering various ship classes the damage could applied to. I loved to fly a stealthbomber, but it's going to put to the shelf with a sticker "Oh my, some good times back then..." if the changes hit TQ, nor i will be able to use/sell my current arsenal of manticores ever, all fitted quite nicely with rigged setups worth over 70 mil isk atm. That's one investment down the drain. Thanks for fixing what never seemed to be broken for me, i loved the cruise SB. Shame I rescently trained an alt of mine for a purifier especially to be able to use a SB with EM type of dmg. i hear ya brother... maybe im the crazy one, but i have trained cruise to lvl5, and specialized cruise to lvl 5.... other races have a bigger problem than i do because i am caldari and i can still use the cruise missiles.. but, in my case i only fly Manticores, and i only want to fly manticores (dont tell me to fly another ship, because I am the one paying for this game). What are you going to do with people who put there couple months into Cruise skills and supporting skills CPP?
Chinchek 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.04.06 18:33:00 - [13] Hey CCP, will you be transferring cruise skills to torp skills?
