I haven't played in a very long time, I was wondering where a solo stealth bomber should go? I don't know anyone anymore and I hate going through the pain of identifying if I am a spy so I am going to stay away from joining a corp for now.
Other than that ramble, where should I setup camp and bomb some people? Thanks :) |

Stealth Bombers and Wormhole space go hand-in-hand, I've found.
Go out there and scan-down riches, steal them from the corp who "owns" the wormhole, and laugh all the way to the bank.

There are various NPSI groups out there that sound like they would be right up your alley. I'm not sure if bomber's bar is still a thing or not but someone will be by with names soon I am sure. |

I know that you said that you don't want to join a corp right now but also BlOps drops are still a thing. As a bomber you can be either the dropper or the one being dropped. |

Haven't seen so many bombers visiting us recently. NPSI seem to be running inties / frigs / dessies a lot. I think everyone is playing with the new command dessies, snatching the careless and unwary from station undocks.
However, if you say "I've got a stealth bomber" and "I'm looking for trouble" I've no doubt something interesting will turn up. They are a lot of fun for not too much money.

Confirming that Bomber's Bar is very active, just join the Bombers Bar public for fleets. Spectre Fleet also does Bl Ops work as well. OP contact me if you're looking for Bomber/Cov Ops content.

Is Bombers Bar also a Bomber's Lounge for general chitchat, or is it mainly for fleeting up, and if it is mainly for fleeting up, what area is it based out of?
My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

Yes, stop by the Bombers Bar in game channel and you will find plenty of chit chat and general carnage. You will also find out about scheduled fleets that are coming up, bomber fittings and also you can sign up to the bombers bar slack so you can be notified about fleets that way too. Flying bombers solo is pretty boring, they work best in a group :) |

Wormhole space, definitely. The lack of local actually allows you to do what the stealth bomber does best. Especially when solo, because you need to time things carefully to be effective (IE attack the ratter when he's already being hit hard by sleepers, etc.) and anywhere else people will just run and hide when they see someone new and unidentified in local.
You may want to consult the killboard of the master of solo bombers for ideas or just inspiration.

Bombers Bar operates out of Thera though on occasion, we will form up near a trade hub in K Space. Operations varying from Whale Hunting (carriers and other caps) to roams and other such shenanigans. It's just like Spectre fleet in that it is NPSI (not purple, shoot it) but the chat channel is much more new bro friendly (just my opinion). Access to Thera is relatively easy thanks to the good folks in SIgnal Cartel and you can usually find someone in BB to help get you in (always the case if you're fleeted up). Anyone interested in details can message me and I'll be happy to help.

Forget about Spectre for covert stuff and come straight to Bombers Bar. At least we know what we do.

That's Spectre that is only good at blobbing you guys in Provi.
We from BB have moved on to other hunting grounds and wreak havoc all over nullsec. Thera is awesome!
And no, I don't really miss my time hotdropping Provi. We only did it because it didn't require much effort and was in easily accessible range. Thera fixed that.
When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Could someone please explain a bit of this dudes way to operate?
Looking some of his losses, hes always carrying extended probe launcher and combat probes.
2 things i thought couldnt be fit to a stealth bomber.. or atleast you cant get anything else active?
Second thing baffling here is that even if you could fit those, where would you do it? every activity he has is in J-space.
Going to station to fit combat probes and back to J-space to scan and then back to fit your combat fit seems kinda hassle?
And that dont explain why keep it in cargo :P
I'm propably missing something since im returning from a long brake :) |

More likely than not he has a mobile depot for a refit so that he can combat probe a victim. Ime that is a last resort since you can quite frequently catch your targets via d scan or after you've used core probes to bkmrk the sigs. Occasionally though, you may need to get a warp in on some ship with combat probes. And yes, you have to offline most of the stuff on the bomber, but you could all of this pretty quickly at your mobile depot.
Tldr Mobile Depots are awesome and if you have the cargo room, you probably should be making use of them.

It's actually pretty common to have access to stations when wormhole diving because you're normally starting from empire space. From my experience you almost never need a combat scanner in wormhole space so he probably just has one just in case. The vast majority of the time people are at warpable locations or scannable sites. You really only need combats if someone has a safe spot or their site has already despawned and you don't expect them to go somewhere else. Using them otherwise will just spook your target and dscan plus core scanners will work just as well.
