Originally by: Helmut 314 The stealth bombers seem nice. Their resists are somwhere between ass frigs and normal ships which makes sense.
The Manticore seems like the best one at first glance, but depending on what happens with missiles a combination of small turrets, ECM and cruise missiles might be a better thing when hunting small ships.
With the exception of the speed bonus - the stealth is pretty much a waste of time.
It would be a better idea to put an improved cloak on something bigger and more powerful ( Battlecruiser - Battleship) with greater firepower, that to send a fragile and very expensive frigate into a fight.
I am pretty much convinced that CCP figured out fast that this ship was going to be overpowered in a covert ops form and nerfed it to something less than a tech II ship.
I would have been a terror if it was released in the SIGI form...
Oh well - there are more problems with this patch than a nerfed ship...

Originally by: CCP Hammer They use covert ops skills and are found hidden with the other covert ops ships on the market but I doubt anyone got the BPO yet.
Yes they use covert ops skills but will not fit a covert ops cloak or be able to warp while cloaked. Seems to me to be something left over from the Sigi server that got a major nerf and no one checked the required skills.
Thanks for turning a good idea into a piece of ****
If they could warp while cloaked there would be no point for the regular covert ops ships.
No real point in this one either

The simple fact is that the Stealth does nothing that any other ship can do better and with a higher probability of surviving.
In another thread...
Say nuts to the stealth
Get a Ferox and put a improved cloak on it
Use it like a stealth..
A volley of heavy missiles from a ferox does more damage than a couple of cruise missiles anyways. It also has a better chance of getting out alive and at a much lower cost.
Looks like I'm already flying a stealth bomber...

Originally by: Chrysantheum Hmm they might be a bit better if they got a large bonus to FoF missile damage... then they would just have to uncloak and fire. Well as long as the enemy is hostile... Oh well I'll probs train for em too but unlesss they become cheap and cruise launchers get some love it'll sit in my hangar most of the time i reckon.
With FoF, they have to fire first for FoF to be used. IF you wait for them to fire, you made a serious error in judgment...
