The best advice I can give you is train signature analysis to 5 asap.
Locking targets as quckly as possible is the key to succesful bombering.

Try using: Eve-search
Search Manticore in the ships and modules section.
There are a ton of threads about this ship already.

* Good missiles skills, particularly Cruise Missiles, Warhead Upgrades, Target Navigation Prediction and Missile Projection.
* Signature Analysis to at least level 4 to get a fast lock
* Covert Ops to at least level 4. Level 5 is preferable to help fit the third launcher
The Manticore relies on burst damage, not DPS, so skills such as Rapid Launch are not really vital. Tanking is not a valid option either: If you do get caught, you'll be dead in a few seconds, and the ship does not have enough capacitor to successfully run ECM for any significant perios of time.

I've noticed something interesting though with the manticore...
If you fire you can cloak again and your missiles will continue flying. Only problem is they won't fly much further anymore (top of 40km or so I believe).
However, I was able to hit a target 80km away while still cloaking immediatly after firing.... I cloaked.... waited a few seconds, uncloaked and then as fast as possible (have to wait for recloak timer, short though) recloaked again.... missiles hit and did damage at 80km.
If I tried it by cloaking and staying cloaked, the missiles dissappeared after about 40 kms.
I haven't figured out the effects on locking someone who cloaks and decloaks again... is the locking stopped or does it continue for a bit longer?

Do I have to buy the cloaking device or does it have one already? I am trying to find out what attachments I need to by for it so i can buy them while training for the ship itself.

Ultimatley (sp*) I want to end up in the Cerebus HAC. This is going to take a while, so I only need 2 more skills for the Manticore, which is why i want to fly it until i am ready for the Cerebus.

The ship is only the ship, nothing else... you need to buy the cloaking device.
Plus, you might want to check the skill requirements for the cloaking device too.... make sure you can use the module too after buying the ship.
