interesting.
the MWD/MSE combo is possible btw, altho you need a MAPC for it.
also, fitting for agility, the bombers become quite a beast with it, altho it is not for solo situations (nor it allows for that great ammount of free cpu, allowing BCU's to be used)
either ways, I applaud your out of box thinking.

What about the MSE/MWD combo?
Its a possble combo that need fitting mods to fit in, while i didnt tested it myself, I heard quite a few people use it, the only problem you will run in is :
you will lack capacitor quite quickly
and the mwd+sig radius boost from the extender will mean you will have a bid radius
but i will defenatly test it someday 
let me point out one more time that the MWD+MSE combo are for gang footwork mostly.
I also must ask if the diminute cargo size of the hound compared with the purifier is a hindrance.
purifier could stack up 1000torps and 2 bombs in it, but the hound can only carry 1 bomb with the same amount of torps.

Thanks Valadeya. I have bookmarked the thread where you first assert the SB as a solo PvP ship. I've even trained up bombs and bought a few sets of Nemisis fits, but they're still just sitting in my locker ... maybe this guide will get me off my arse and out using it.
Thanks!
nemesis is a bit of a pain tbh.
only advantages it has over any of the other 3 bombers is just the fact that it has bonus to thermal damage.
otherwise, for a 4 med slot bomber, it lacks cpu (manti is better here) and the 2 lows makes it a wee bad, considering how short of grid the ship is, compared to the purifer and hound.
it also is the least agile bomber of the all 4, having a base alignment time above the 6 seconds, while the manticore (2nd least agile) is at least less than 1 second faster on the alignment.
in a discussion about bomber setups with a corp mate, we arrived to the conclusion that, if you want a 4 med slot bomber, you go for the manticore, or if you want a faster bomber you go either for the purifier or the hound. no other way about it.

What about using a void bomb to empty their capacitor?
Would this stop a bs from neuting you and/or turn off their armor hardeners/shield boosters?
you want to kill the target asap...not have a lengthy engagement...
both lockbreaker and void bombs are only usefull when used in large numbers vs RR'ing fleets tbh

Go minmatar. You might have some problems vs ravens (explo is racial - but you can always bring EM bombs) but at least you get decent ceptors and good AFs. Or even better get both - it takes like a week to get one to lv5 so it shouldnt be a big problem.
Fitting wise both hound and purifier are VERY similiar. Wheras hound needs MAPC (or ancillary router) purifier sometimes needs co-proc (on the hardest fitting setups). On lighter fits (like mwd + injector) both should fit without a problem.
considering shield upgrades 5, and other fitting skills at 5, both the purifier and the hound only need a MAPC to go for a MSE+mwd combo (hound needs the very least a K-exhaust if you want to slam a bomb launcher there, when going for T2 launchers).
fitting a point in these setups is quite impossible, unless, that is, if you go for arbalests, altho I haven't tested it yet.

So then again, the question is which of the two should I go for first? The purifier, or the hound?
They both seem to be decent because of the extra mid slot, but one allows for more speed, and the other seems to allow for a greater tank?
Thanks!
One you think looks better. Both are almost the same in use (hound tad faster, purifier carries 1 or 2 more bombs).
quite so, this is the main difference on the hound vs purifier pairing.
there are other minute differences tho, one being slightly lower grid and slightly higher cpu on the hound, but to the setups I usually run, it actually means the hound is fitted more expensively
