The turret points on stealth bombers really are wasted. There aren't enough to protect the frigate against any other frigs that get close or to be worthwhile against a larger target making them more or less redundant.
Give the ships the same number of missile slots or give each ship somthing unique that makes up for the lack of an extra launcher point (e.g: better speed, resitances, targetting range, damage bonuses and so on).
yeh i agree, and the extra mid slot of the manticore is also another advantage. sensor dampners and passive targeters etc.
the only thing i could think that something like a hound would be able to do better than a manticore is fit a plate, and use remote repairers or transporters in the high slots for some outlandish gang setups, which probably wouldn't be of use practically anyway.
I also totally agree. What's the point of the turrets? especially considering the powergrid of your average stealth bomber, which severely limits the fitting of any decent turrets without using mapc's in your low's rather than overdrives or nano's; which are the only kind of of propulsion upgrades which benefit a steath anyway. i've been flying Sealth bombers for a while cause i love the Tristan  but now it seems that they will finally be a good deal more useful. I wish i'd spotted this thread sooner, I would have trained covert ops to level 5 instead of Assault ships. Also: please please please look at the powergrid of the stealth bombers, at least give the nemesis the extra 3 power that the tristan's gonna get with the overhaul. every little helps, and with the ridiculous power that cruise launchers need it would really really really help. atm i have adv weapons upgrades to lvl 4 but still need 20.1 power to fit each launcher and that's two launchers out the max 43 pg i can squeeze out of my nemesis, leaving less than 3pg for my 4 mids and 2 lows. you do the math. please get it sorted ccp. anyway, i know the stealth bomber need some attention and thanks for this overhaul.
