Also, stealth bombers kill frigs easily. IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
But these are often franken-fits, like rocket fit SB.
Now I don't think bombers should be changed - they have their specific set of preys and it's fine this way. On the other hand I agree with OP that the guerrilla/submarine warfare is an interesting part of EVE, also for solo players.
Which brings me to an idea I was pondering for some time...
Perhaps we could get another stealth hunter balanced around SB ideas(* ) but with bonuses in smaller weapons. Specifically I imagine a frigate-hull stealth missile boat with bonuses in RLML. There are rocket fit SBs around so obviously there's interest in such boat.
(*) paper-tank, covops cloak, no lock delay on decloak

Why again missiles? My dream ship would be a cloaky AF...not game-breakingly powerful, but versatile enough to deal with a lot of situations.
I have SP in torps and missiles  Also rapid launchers would go well with covops, as you not going to stay on grid too long.
Of course could be other weapon system, but something I can apply to small sig radius. |

Your dream ship already exists. It is called the Astero 
Except astero have lock delay on decloak. And it can have some tank too. I wrote about platform similar to SB but intended to ambush smaller targets. |

Rapid Heavies on a SB would be quite a boon for a lot of players and put it closer to being a "solo killer" particularly for cruisers and BCs. Considering the nature of how a SB is used and the horribly long reload time of a rapid launcher, it would almost seem like the rapid launchers are made for SBs.
While this is true, SBs are already the apex predators of eve, at least during the fountain war they caused more cumulative damage than any other ship class, including caps. I might be biased here, but from my experiences, I am still a little traumatized in regards to bomber squads..if there is one ship class that definitely NOT needs another buff it's SBs in my opinion..
Yes. I would expect it to be a separate weapon platform, but balanced similarly to SB. |
