Do you draw aggro when you drop a bomb?
if not, this is going to be an awesome gate camp eleminator.
warp in, drop bomb, jump...
If you jump or dock after dropping the bomb it doesent go off. You can however warp or cloak.

Bombs do (i think) around 6k damage, base, then they are sig radius sensitive, like a torp. So a successfully deployed EM bomb next to a few static targets will, just, rip their shields off regardless if they are frigs, bc or bs. On my tests I hit an untanked bc for 4800 and a frig for 380.

 A new skill, 'bomb deployment' or summat is required to operate bomb-droppy thingy.
Yes, it has pre-req Missile bombardement V
Bomb launchers can only be used by stealth bombers?
Yes, the usual way, 10k CPU use 99% reduction by the ship bonus
There is only one type of bomb launcher.
Yes
There are currently no bombs available for sale on the market (in the systems I've checked anyway). Anyone else got bombs (lol)?
Someone needs to build one first?
The bomb's only effective if you plant it relatively close to the bad guys
15km radius
You're in a frickin stealth bomber so you're gonna get popped getting to aforementioned bad guys (unless you cloak - til you're too close)
Or unless you use a warp-in point.
Then you hit your MWD (overheat it in fact!) and peg it to a safe distance (I doubt a stealth bomber would make it out alive - couldn't recloak unless PVE-ing and another ship takes ALL the aggro to avoid you being locked) 
Or unless you have a warp-out point and a nano II fitted?
Then you spam cruisies from a 'safe' (ha!) distance...assuming all that kit fits on yer average stealthy bomber.
It does. But ships wont take that much damage from the bomb. Trick is to warp a squadron of bombers in and blow up all the enemies in one big ZAPP. Of course thats only economically viable if the enemy has alot of ships. Thus the bomb is a anti-blob weapon, not something to be used against 1 guy in a vagabond.
I can't login to Eve at the mo so can't check but...does your average stealth bomber have special bonuses for all this bomb-launcher malarkey?
Yes. 99% cpu reduction to fit the launcher. 5% racial damage per frig skills (so automatically 25%) and another 5% per covert op skill.
