VJ Maverick Caldari Maverick Specialized Services	Posted - 2007.02.05 22:23:00 - [31] Originally by: Beldan From the poster above: What do you need skill wise to fit this? I tried in Quickfit and couldn't seem to get it to go... Highs: 3 x Cruise Launcher. 1 x Cloaking device t2. Meds: 1 x Sensor Booster t2, 2 x Remote Sensor Dampeners, 1 x Target Painter Lows: 1 x BCU, 1 PDU 2 Engineering 5 - more powergrid overall Electronics 5 - more CPU overall Covert Ops 5 - reduction in cruise launcher powergrid use. Also, seriously, TP and and to a lesser degree sensor boosters, are a waste of a mid slot on a Manticore - unless you already have a dedicated tckler.
Victor Ivanov Liberty Rogues Coalition of Carebear Killers	Posted - 2007.02.05 22:47:00 - [32] Not just Engineering and Electronics 5. You need Weapon upgrades and at least Advanced Weapon upgrades lvl 3. Prefferably lvl 4. If all else fails, use a True Sansha PDU. ^_^
Carnor Jax	Posted - 2007.02.19 19:56:00 - [33] Edited by: Carnor Jax on 19/02/2007 19:52:50 IMO, there is no need for a target painter in a manticore. 2 good sensor boosters, and 2 T2 Remote Sensor Dampeners ftw. The "secret" bonus takes care of needing a target painter I think. edit this setup is hoping you have a dedicated tackler with you
Nicocat Caldari New Age Solutions New Age Solutions Amalgamated	Posted - 2007.02.20 00:07:00 - [34] Be careful of dictors, by the by. As a dictor pilot, the same rules apply to us as they do to intys: Cruise missiles explode too slowly to hurt. And that whole web trick someone mentioned... well, 7 guns say we break a bomber's tank before they break us ;) Originally by: Splagada SEED ME DADDY Down with alts! One character per account per IP!
VJ Maverick Caldari Maverick Specialized Services	Posted - 2007.02.20 00:55:00 - [35] Originally by: Nicocat And that whole web trick someone mentioned... well, 7 guns say we break a bomber's tank before they break us ;) If you read more carefully, you would notice that the whole web trick also included dampeners. So 2 dampeners and 1 web say that your 7 guns sit silent while the SB breaks your tank in short order.
Carnor Jax	Posted - 2007.02.23 17:37:00 - [36] I finally got a setup i'm very happy with. High: 3xCruise launchers 1xT2 cloaking device Medium: 2xSensor boosters 2xT2 Remote Sensor Dampener Low: BCU Nano I love how my ship goes faster cloaked than not cloaked. :) And I can hit targets at around 140k...though missiles will always have the problem of it taking forever to actually get to the target.
Max Hardcase Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.02.23 19:08:00 - [37] Edited by: Max Hardcase on 23/02/2007 19:06:44 well vs ~interceptors which are ~25 sig radius you will still lose a fair bit of cruise damage due to the explosive radius being 40m with lvl5 guided missile precision. Ofcourse they better be not moving too fast or you're SOL anyways.
Shel theDon	Posted - 2007.02.24 17:24:00 - [38] is there a good set up for manticore w/o using remote sensor dampeners?
Max Hardcase Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.02.24 18:42:00 - [39] Edited by: Max Hardcase on 24/02/2007 18:39:22 Edited by: Max Hardcase on 24/02/2007 18:39:12 Originally by: Shel theDon is there a good set up for manticore w/o using remote sensor dampeners? Well, since a large portion of that stealth part of Stealth bomber relies on NOT being targetted it makes sense to postpone that from happening as much as possible.
Shel theDon	Posted - 2007.02.24 23:32:00 - [40] right, i understand that but I dont have any skills in sensor dampening and it seems like you'd have to give up some range on the cruise missiles to use sensor dampeners. could you get away w/ a sensor booster and 3 ecm's?

You don't get 6.3 total, you get three attempts at 2.1 strength. And ECM is horrible on bombers, you have nowhere near enough cap to use it effectively.
Tomari	Posted - 2007.02.25 02:24:00 - [43] isnt that only for burst

Awing atHoth Caldari Omega Enterprises Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.03.01 09:30:00 - [45] Originally by: madaluap Originally by: VJ Maverick Edited by: VJ Maverick on 05/02/2007 00:53:39 The Solo U-Boat Manticore setup: highs: 3x cruise, 1 cloak mids: 2x dampener, 1 scram, 1 web lows: whatever you want or need to get the above to work properly I dont bother with target painters. As far as i'm concerned they are useless because the manticore's explosion radius bonus already makes me hit for full damage on almost everything. Why would you use them against interceptors? Just because of the small sig radius? big deal. It will just take an extra missile to kill them. I'm not wasting a mid slot just in case i run into an inty. And besides, if an inty is MWD'ing, his sig radius is already the size of a cruiser anyway. I used to play around with a small blaster or even a smart bomb in the extra high slot but powegrid never allowed me to do it just right so i just forgot about it. Maybe a nos would be cool but i never actually got into those things, either. Never seen a manticore hit my inty for more than 10-5 damage max... The BOB crow that I popped yesterday with similar middle setup says different
Phoenicia Macabre Votum Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2007.03.01 09:52:00 - [46] Bombers pop inties if the inties are webbed. Most of the time. Blasterranis or similar DPS-inties could come out on top. Nonetheless, I would advise a webber on any bomber setup. I've popped quite a few inties/T1 frigs in my Manti by getting them webbed.

Max Hardcase Art of War Cult of War	Posted - 2007.03.01 10:13:00 - [47] Edited by: Max Hardcase on 01/03/2007 10:10:42 Damps only require sensor linking skill. The Support skills are the same as with ECM ( opt/falloff bonus) only extra training would be the advanced SD skill to increase SD strength. ECM also have the heavy cap use drawback.

We are using the same setup in frig gangs sometimes. It's great fun. Killboard
DiaBlo UK	Posted - 2007.03.03 18:15:00 - [49] Edited by: DiaBlo UK on 03/03/2007 18:13:53 3x cruise launchers 1x improved T2 cloak 2x Sensor booster II 3x named sensor damps(or T2 versions) 1x bcu 1x rcu (can fit 2x bcu if have right skills) you do need good skills to fit this, but that always helps you do need a tackler, you can 1 volley a inty once its webbed. Out of the shadows, came the darkness, and ate his soul.

Ellana Githrael	Posted - 2007.03.14 18:00:00 - [51] Post Revelations, any thoughts about rigs to install on this puppy? Pretty much don't have the skills to run one effectively so working on that, but what rigs would help the ship live to it's fullest potential? I can pretty much build most of the T1 rigs ATM, and can train for the others, but IF I am going to build something to install on the Manticore, what should go on? T1? T2? Type? Thanks for any advice. ( I so love the one shot, one kill type of runs...)
Siliya AirHawk Alliance Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.28 09:16:00 - [52] I've been Running the #'s on the manticore and unless theres something I'm missing 3x Cruise 1x Imp Cloak 2x Dampeners 1x SB 2 1x Painter 1x BCU 1x PDU is not possible Electronics 5 takes the CPU from 245 to 306.25 Arbalest x3 = 129.6 (with Weapon upgrade 5) Improved Guise Cloak 2 = 51 Named Painter = 16 Named Remote Sensor damps = 56 Sensor Booster 2 = 10 BCU 2 = 40 Named PDU = 12 (energy grid upgrades 5) for a Total of 314.6 with a Difference of +8.35 so what am I missing
Peen Long Caldari The Fantastically Pantless Sporkmen	Posted - 2007.03.28 11:25:00 - [53] The whole point is to bomb, so I'd fit the calefaction rigs for the damage increase. Make that alpha strike a good one.
Lea Re Caldari The Descent	Posted - 2007.03.29 05:45:00 - [54] Originally by: DiaBlo UK 3x cruise launchers 1x improved T2 cloak 2x Sensor booster II 3x named sensor damps(or T2 versions) 1x bcu 1x rcu (can fit 2x bcu if have right skills) WTB manticore with 5 med slots and topic: fit a passive targeter and watch tacklers in gatecamps die =] beautiful guerilla warfare machine.
Cker The Black Ops	Posted - 2007.03.31 16:55:00 - [55] Originally by: Tregaron Edited by: Tregaron on 05/03/2007 14:02:51 my manti insta pop any frig. 3x arbi cruise 1x cov cloak t2 1x target painter t2 1x sensor booster t2 2x sensor damps t2 1x bcu t2 1x pdu t2 snip I've tried that layout in quickfit with lvl 5 energy management, and almost any skill related to energy at lvl 5, the capacitor dies very quickly, so i swapped out a low slot for a cap relay, died out again, then another, cap lasted longer, but did eventually die. I'm just wondering, is the layout designed for instant uncloak and a 1 shot off type fight, or is it like i am trying it for aka fleet ops?
Kadean Gallente Visual I.D GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.04.04 15:03:00 - [56] Originally by: Victor Ivanov Yes, the Stealth Bombers of this world have to endure a lot of hurtful discrimination. The ignorant bigots of the nation take great pains to keep us down. But in fact, a Stealth Bomber is more than capable of taking down a tier 2 BC by itself. You laugh? Well, I am willing to concede the point that a stealth bomber is best fitted for fleet ops. You need a tackler to keep the enemy in place, or they will be able to warp off. Which is a shame of course. However, properly fitted, the Manticore can not only be quite a valuable asset, but also be tons of fun to play. For me personally, some of my greatest moments in EVE were spent flying in a SB. I never tire of the "What the hell" messages typed in local as I uncloak and blast my unsuspecting victim to smithereens before they have time to react. Now, let's get to fitting, shall we? Highs: 3 x Cruise Launcher. 1 x Cloaking device t2. Meds: 1 x Sensor Booster t2, 2 x Remote Sensor Dampeners, 1 x Target Painter Lows: 1 x BCU, 1 PDU 2 Now, let me elaborate on my reasoning behind this setup. For a SB, there are a few things which are different about my setup. First of all, it lacks a passive targeter, which is commonly used to give you that valuable 2 seconds confusion time, where the enemy is unaware that he is being shot at. However, with 2 dampeners, a ships locking range is decreased by about 75% (A tad less, but let's use round numbers now, shall we?) Most people would also say "Fit as many BCU's on there as you can". In itself, a very valid point. But you must remember that it is a frigate, and thus has very limited CPU and PW. Fitting a second BCU t2 gives you a 1 second faster RoF, and a slightly higher damage. But, it also stops you from using a second dampener and target painter, plus that your cap is going to be absolutely horrid. Thus, we use the target painter to make up for the lack of a second BCU. That works quite well, as a matter of fact. The PDU t2 gives you slightly more hp, slightly more cap and a slightly faster recharge rate. Which is pretty darn nice for a manticore to have. To summarize: Warp in at a 100, cloak. Find a good spot to shoot from, allign to a cluster of celestial objects, uncloak, turn on booster, lock, activate all modules, fire untill enemy either gets dangerously close, dies or warps out. If things get dangerous, cloak or warp out. You should be full speed alligned at all times if engaging an enemy. My two cents. Hope it helped. :) Best setup so far i have tried :)
no1knowsWho	Posted - 2007.04.06 11:06:00 - [57] Originally by: VJ Maverick Covert Ops 5 - reduction in cruise launcher powergrid use. reduction in cruise missile launcher powergrid usage comes from frig skill not CovOps so you have max reduction in PG usage at Covert Ops 1. --- That is a Templar, an Amarr fighter. It is a combat drone used by carriers.
Phoenicia Eidolon Exploration and Exploitation	Posted - 2007.04.06 11:23:00 - [58] Originally by: Kadean Best setup so far i have tried :) Please do explain how the target painter serves you so well that you sign such a setup? Or actually, please, anyone, explain to me what a target painter is doing on a stealth bomber? All it does is increase an inty's sig size to near-your-missile's explosion radius-> Which matters nothing when the inty's still outrunning your explosion velocity.
Kasshim Omega Strike Force	Posted - 2007.04.06 11:33:00 - [59] Originally by: no1knowsWho reduction in cruise missile launcher powergrid usage comes from frig skill not CovOps so you have max reduction in PG usage at Covert Ops 1. I'd have to disagree with that. I just got my cov-ops to lvl 5 and it indeed lessened my launcher's grid usage. At lvl 1 cov-ops, I couldn't even fit 3 launchers and a decent mid-slot setup together. Took cov-ops lvl 3 to fit almost everything I wanted.

Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus: 19.65% reduction in Cruise Launcher powergrid needs and 5% bonus to Cruise Missile kinetic damage per level Covert Ops Skill Bonus: 5% reduction in Cruise Launcher powergrid needs and 25% bonus to cloaked velocity per level You're both right!
