I completely agree that the Manticore should be the strongest stealth bomber for using cruise missiles, since Caldari are of course the missile race.
Also since its the slowest, it should be designed more around the cruise launchers, instead of dropping bombs.
 A damage increase that is higher than the other races is what I would like to see(better alpha).
Another idea would be to give the Manticore a buff to cap regen and cpu(so you can properly use all of those midslots without any cap mods, while also fitting 2x BCU).
 Adding a ROF bonus isnt as good for the alpha strike as a damage bonus, since you dont always get to stay uncloaked for many volleys.
A missile velocity bonus wouldnt make a huge difference in most cases, unless it was quite a large buff. Most of the SB's I've seen/read use sensor damps, and without a bonus, you have to be relativly close to use those anyhow.
The same applys to the flight time.
Adding a 4th launcher hardpoint seems over the top IMO. You'd need to buff the CPU/PG to make a decent fit, which would bring the Manticore too far out of line with the other SB's.

Saying that the manti should get ... another bonus because caldari are the missile race is silly.

sure mabye some other bonus for each race with the caldari bonus being missile related.

Almost every ship in teh game has a specific role that is diffrent for each race.
Well the roles are to either drop bombs or use launchers. You cant really do both without gimping your setup.
All of the other races drop bombs better than the Manticore, so why shouldnt it use launchers better?

well there is a diffrence between using somthing better and using more of them. if you fit a drake and a ferox with 5 HML. what one would use them better?
If you are talking about adding another launcher to the Manticore, I agree that its a bad idea. Your response above made it sound like you are against a buff for the Manticore, and I personally think its in need of at least a small buff.
When I'm home from work I'll try to post a stat comparison.
