The title says it all...
Is it possible to run missions in a Manticore stealth bomber, and whats more important - is it possible to run level 4's?

Everything is possible but if its smart is a different story.
I would not as you die to fast as the tank is not existing. But if you want to try it out then take a kessie and fly into a lvl 4 mission you will see how it goes

It can be done, but most l4 have too many frigs for a solo bomber. If you choose your missions wisely it can be quite fun :) If you bring an alt to tank and kill off frigs with drones it works well.
Anyway it can take a while to finish your missions...

SB have been used in fw to great effect (with an interceptor speed tanking for them) Ive also used sb as a pve boat hunting officer spawns in null, but you wont be able to tank a mission with one....sadly.

An expensive way to lose ships. I seriously doubt you could do very many of the L4s in a SB. I've been running a lot of L4s recently. Just finished Duo of Death. 2 webbing drones, 4 sentry guns and 2 Sansha Tyrant BSs. Your SB would be webbed and popped probably before you could kill the first drone.
Before that was the "Attack of the Drones" mission. Start off with 4 cruisers shooting at you. Kill one, tank the other three while killing off the first spawn. Kill the 2nd cruiser, tank the other two while killing off the 2nd spawn and so on.
Blockade - you start off with a stasis tower and group of battle ships at long range. You may not even get into torp range of the tower before being popped.
With a lot of the missions, you'd be trying to web/point/tank a bunch of frigates while the bigger ships are hammering away on you, and a SB doesn't stand up to much hammering at the best of times. There are a couple missions you could probably do though, like Mining Misappropriation. Possibly the Damsel or Right Hand of Zazzmatazz if you manage the aggro properly.

Edited by: Kadesh Priestess on 26/09/2010 21:20:27 Use it to run lvl 5. Although manti is worst of them all, purifier is used in 70-80% of cases, then 10-20% for hound, 3/4 of remaining goes to nemesis (missions like wyrmsbane), then manticore (don't know any use of it as of yet).
