Aren't they in-game yet?
As far as I can tell, there are no skills, modules, ships reserved for them on the market and no research agent is handing them out. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not angry, just curious as to what happened to them.

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.

I was expecting these to be of new designs and not the same ol "hull" types of other ships.

Why would stealth bombers be different from all the other tech II releases we've seen?

This is an impressively sickening statement to me. I mean come one the servers haven't even been stable for 24 hours, and you want a BPO already? ------------------------------------------------

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 ****

T2 always uses a T1 hull. And I have been wanting a T2 Kestrel for ages. And the tristan one looks pretty nice as well. --------------------------------------------------

Think I read somewhere that once the missile nerf hits they will be 'fully activated'.
I find the idea of cloaked cruise missile kestrels somewhat disconcerting

lol - looking at these screenshots right now... The Caldari one can carry 3 launchers and hence is 50% better then both others. How idiotic is that, why even bother putting 4 of them in the game if one is better by such a gigantic margin...
It's like if the Minmatar Interceptor was twice as fast as the others and the Amarr Assault ship had double the HP...

UMM?! doesnt matter you can only fit 1 cruise launcher on all of them so that fact is so insignificant it's funny. anyone who puts other types of launchers on them isnt very smart...

Hmm, ok, I guess then it doesn't matter at all.

Can't see anyone in their right mind using a frigate that will cost 40 mil upwards and still doesn't stand a fighting chance against anything that can tank reasonably well... 
And don't tell me "If 10 atack at the same time they can kill a battleship" because if the same 10 people would atack with battleships the battleship they atacked would be dead a lot faster...

Have you added in the skill they get?
Gallente Frigate Skill Bonus: 19.65% reduction in Cruise Launcher powergrid needs and 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage per level Might help alittle

If they could use the cov ops cloak and were able to warp while cloaked then there'd be no reason for us to use the Buzzards and Helioses, Anathemas and Cheetahs etc...

Edited by: boubou bzh on 13/04/2005 20:11:55 when i read the first post, i feel that many players cannot wait for something, 2 monthes ago, we did'nt know the stealth, and now that u know they are coming, u cant wait some days?
i've many R&D agent, i donnot wait anything from them, it is simpler :-)
have fun

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...

If they could warp while cloaked there would be no point for the regular covert ops ships.

These ships suck. They will be slow and they dont even get a reduced cloaking penalty in regads to lock time.
useless

No, but its point shouldnt be warping cloaked (unless at a really uber slow speed and huge cap cost). But 3 cruise missiles just dont cut it. --------------------------------------------------
