wasn't there a set of new "bombs" - I recall seeing a fancy icon some time ago, but I can't seem to find any details about them at the moment. There was some placeholder data saying that the bombers would be better at firing light missiles and rockets, so I suspect a healthy bonus to damage (10% per level perhaps?) -------------

Anyone else wonder if Oveur's getting a little over-excited again and putting in extra words to make things sound cooler ?
Are we really getting stealth bombers, or did 'stealth' just get added in there 'cos it sounded good and meant it was more 'sikrit' ?
Not that I mind. A bit of forum gossip and speculation is always fun

I saw it on the dev blog too. Only thing I can think of is this
A) New stealth cruise ship class. (Stealth = Cloak and Bomber = Cruiser) B) Stealth Missiles of some sort, that are immune to defenders? (God I hope not)
Other than that, I have no clue. Someone shed some light damnit!

I'd imagine something like a Tech 2 Kestrel.
- Can fit maybe 2 siege launchers (gets a grid and cpu bonus for them, like the covert ops ship and cloak). - Can target a ship while cloaked (though all other cloaking restrictions apply).
Approach to within 10km of target, decloak and launch torps, then run away. Individually not a major threat, but in groups would be deadly.

There were 2 class of t2 ships that were to come out : - Black Ops Frigs - Bombers
Could it be CCP combined the two classes??? I guess we will find out "soon".

Well whatever it is, each race will get one. Yet that would go aginst the whole race deal with weapons if it was just missile bonus's. But my guess is the bomber is just the name for a biger ship than frig covert ops. That way races can still have the typical racial bonus's.

w0rd. The man speaks true, these 2 ships were announced a long time ago.
There were also some stats for bombs around from a long time ago. Things like "firestorm bombs". I can't remember much about them, but i got the impression that they had an area effect thing like torps used to have. --- "Due to the European lard shortage, we are currently unable to supply this product." |

I think they are like ticking camo'ed bombs.
Fly in cloaked. Plant yourself at the center of the enemy fleet.
BOOM.
dead fleet. END ALL WEAPON!!
I want one.

Me thinks that they will have bonuses to missilles, although missilles may not be thier only form of attack.
Imagine if you will a stealth Tristan with a major Rocket/light missille damage bonus.
Methinks that it'd be used mostly with 2 rocket launchers and two nuetron blasters.
So it would still fit the mold, and do good damage. (Assuming it had the base Tristan bonuses too).
Heck imagine a caldari bomber with a velocity bonus, IT may have only 1 turret slot but you'd still be hitting with rockets in rail range.
Interesting stuff.

I'll put in my prediction, just for giggles.
They'll be slow. Like industrial ship slow, if not worse. Slow into warp, slow in warp, slow sublight speeds, everything.
They'll have really bad lock times. 30 seconds to lock a battleship.
Awesome sig radius. 10% of an interceptor, like around 3 or 5. Only a frigate will be able to lock it within 30 seconds.
Paper thin shields an armor. 1 salvo from a good frigate will take it out.
Very short range. Around 15km at BEST. 1 shot per reload, also.
Big delay on damage, like 250 mps bombs. 3 to 5 defenders per bomb to kill it.
AWESOME damage potential, though. Like 3 to 5k per salvo.
Interceptors will be required if you want a defense against these things that doesn't involve warping out.
Meh. I just like imagining. Are these just going in, or will we see them on singularity first? ---

Edited by: Vicarrah on 15/03/2005 21:02:42 combine hellstorms with a ship that has a cloak, and a decrease on the amount of damage done by hellstorms... or a HUUUUUUGE structure......could be it? Vicarrah Tahiri Protector |

Weren't Black Ops ships supposed to do what Probes now do, i.e. locate safe spots?

Exactly what I was thinking, I guess they might have scrapped the Black Ops then in favor of the buggy probes we have now. *sigh*
