We have assault frigates and heavy assault ships, small ships and their larger counterparts, what about a heavy stealth bomber ship class? Cruizer size.
5-6 slots launcher slots, maybe even 7 but that might be overpowered, cruiser hitpoints, cloak the same as as stealth bomber, it would be a fun ship indeed.

I'm sure cerberus stealth bomber version with 5 cruise missiles launcher (and signature radius hidden bonus) would be a nightmare for lots of people...

but why not a heavy bomber based off the industrials, basicly make them like RL heavy bombers in that they would need serious wingmen to stay alive but when they make their mark its really really felt. and then T2 Heavy Bombers based on freighters. can you imagine the fear of a properly escorted Charon Class bomber(basicly think of a B52 but EVE style). whole new weapons classes for the bombers. Indy based ones would get Lightspeed Torpedos and the freighters would get something bigger then a Citadel.

That would be so overpowered..if they ever make that , it's the first step of gimping the game completely..( like they did with jedi's in swg , they did it , now look at it.. dead as a doornail )

How about we make SB useful for more than just ganking rookie ships before we add more ships to Covert Ops.

SB are useful now.
1/2 SBs alone = ganking small/low hp ships
1/2 SBs in a frig gang = makes the gang extremely tough against frig gangs without bombers, and even uncloaked they're hard to notice
So what if they can only gank low hp/frig targets? That's their weakness, is they cant really afford to get in close. Their strength, is their massive range for a frigate, and their cloaking.
Theyre fine.

i totally agree regarding the SWG comment. Those who didnt be a jedi, quit.
Stealth bombers do enough as it is...another one will just make it too much towards ultimate ownage. Sure id love to pwn someone, but i dont want to be myself....and i would be with one.
Just cos many other ships have counterparts, doesnt mean that they do...couldgo on forever. Cruiser -> Hac -> recon ships -> ??? TBH theres more than enough ships to keep me amused. More types maybe useful with lower skill requirements, but still...thats going a bit far. You now have Field command ships which are the BC version of hacs tbh. thats enough pwnage.
We have what we need for now...and we dont want eve to die..thats in everyones best interests. Also, if you really wanted to go to extremes we could have a titan with 110 small 150mm hybrid rails...but with spike ammo....that would be insane.
Even tho its a game, be realistic. lol

i like the idea of torpedo boats for fast strikes...but tbh a cloak would make em indeed overpowered.
my suggestion:
maybe a cruiser with a better basespeed and a lil reduced sig radius but less armour and torpedo tubes with some according bonuses.

torpedo frigate? basicly a dive bomber. doesnt cloak just has blistering speed to get under the guns and drop a torpedo.

To be honest the current iteration of the stealth bomber should be considered "heavy." I'd personally like to see another "bomber" that is not allowed to cloak that is essentially half the speed of an interceptor but twice the damage.
But I think CCP has run out of t1 frigs to make into t2 ships. I don't want to see an t2 Ibis with Cruise Launchers.

its all good with stealth bombers now, but still one thing that annoys me is the manticore with 3 launcher HP's and the rest with 2...
Really blows.

The Manticore is overrated. Ultra crappy warp endurance makes it a liability for group work. And it's a very tight fit for those 3 launchers.

They need to make bombers "real" cov ops
IMO a cov ops can warp cloaked and move fast while cloaked. With the bombers you have to warp in then cloak (wheres the stealth in that) then uncloak again lock target fire and recloak before they re lock you. Then your stuck sitting there until they leave so u can uncloak and get away.

you know what id really like? just a bomber, no stealth part.
How bout a frig that gets a bonus to fitting Citadel torps and a explosion velocity/radius bonus so they are the same as a torp.
1 ML hard point no other highs.
Time to bring the pain

I like the idea of an industrial-sized bomber. Slow as hell, tinfoil for amour, 2 highslots but able to dish huge amounts of damage.

Why not make it a cruiser with torpedoes??
It should have 2 natural bonus's ... ability to fit seige launchers, and -70% to torpedo velocity. This will ensure that they are not over-powerful (have to get into range first) but once in range ouch.
They should be able to cloak like current bombers,and travel slightly slower than basic cruisers, with HAC resists, but not enough pg/cpu to tank it much beyond it's resists. That will require it to have escourts.

Everyone in this topic is basically just asking for a raven the size of a frigate... Nerf all but pimp frigs...? don't think so

Make it a ship that fires 3-4 torps per volley. Torps dont do much against anything less than a BC and as such would make the perfect 'heavy' bomber weapon. Give em stats equal to the T1 destroyers, perhaps a bit less mass and more resists.

Guided Missile precision and a low sig radius quickly solves alot of problems mate ;)
edit: Also it seems rather useless to make a ship ''because they don't do much damage anyway''

Guided missile precision wont make torps hit cruisers for full damage. In fact, I doubt that even at lvl 5 one of these would be a threat to any cruiser.
Also, don't take my sentence, cut out the bit you don't like, and reply to it. I said "not much damage against anything less than a BC". They'd still be a threat to BC's and BSes. Which is precisely the role of such a ship. You got the bombers for Cruiser- and that heavy bomber for BC+.

Why not just get a raven and fit a cloaking device on it. Sit at a nice distance...have a few buzzards ready for warp locking and TADA! you're torp/cruise carrying STEALTH BATTLESHIP
how about a cloaked titan :)
