Spineker Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:30:00 - [61] I want a stealth bomber Drake with 7 cruise launchers
Aeo IV Amarr Xomic OmniCorporation	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:40:00 - [62] Originally by: Tamia Clant Wait... first you say that frigates should be easier to kill, then you suggest cruise missiles should be replaced with torps? Well, ether or: if they could fire torps they'd be more able to do more damage to battleships/etc. on the other hand, if they had bonuses to cruise missiles so they'd be able to hit frigates and do more damage, that'd be fine too. They just seem underspecialized for t2 ship; SBs are suppose to be powerful ships, but fragile, but currently lack the firepower and/or role bonuses to be truly proficient at their weapon of choice. Of course, missiles in general seem to be pretty bad at hitting small ships as is.
Spurty Caldari The Pikey Rebellion II	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:44:00 - [63] OP, you miss the point of MMOs. YOu are supposed to be out there in NUMBERS, none of this 'Johnny no mates soloing around the cosmos' fluff. All you need to do is throw more manticores at the problem. About 45 should have a high enough alpha to pop the drake So, yes you are correct, just had the number of manticores too low to solve the problem. -- Two fat blokes in a pub, one says to the other "your round." The other one says "So are you, you fat git!"

Spineker Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:46:00 - [65] That is silly. I solo all the time. The manticore can wtfpwn frigs before they know what happened. I don't take on Battlecruiser with a frigate T2 or otherwise. I will shoot at some T1 cruisers also especially if I am lurking around fleet battles and will be ignored mostly.

SBs are suppose to be powerful ships, but fragile, but currently lack the firepower and/or role bonuses to be truly proficient at their weapon of choice. Of course, missiles in general seem to be pretty bad at hitting small ships as is. have you flown a Stealth Bomber? My Nemesis has performed plenty of one volley kills on frigates. Bombers are fine and are meant to be flown in fleet operations.... ___ Serving the Gallente Federation... one Caldari ship at a time.
Winterblink Body Count Inc. The Requiem	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:53:00 - [70] Originally by: Absolom Hues have you flown a Stealth Bomber? My Nemesis has performed plenty of one volley kills on frigates. Bombers are fine and are meant to be flown in fleet operations.... I don't know what you're doing, but you're doing it totally wrong. You should have ineffective DPS and die before anyone else in your fleet. If you can't fly a SB right, trash it and go back to T1. :) warp drive active \| nature vraie

Bombers are fine and are meant to be flown in fleet operations.... I have flown them. I understand they're good in fleets, but that seems to contradict the whole stealth part, at least in part.
D'ceet Shadows of the Dead Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.07.07 21:56:00 - [72] Originally by: Absolom Hues Bombers are fine and are meant to be flown in fleet operations.... uhm, no they are not, lets say, we're on the same fleet, if i see you in a stealth bomber, im going to pod you myself. SB's are not to be flown in fleets, sure they have good dps, but you want something with survivability in those long drawn out battles...fly a Raven, its like TWO manticores AND has a tank

I promise you wont feel a thing Why would I do that? If you are in a fleet battle are you going to hold your guns cold waiting on a SB to show up? Didn't think so you will be engaged and I will pop one of your frigs or crusiers and stealth away laughing.

Nyza Lobot	Posted - 2008.07.07 22:03:00 - [75] The fact that so many players "Agree with OP" makes me want to cry. If you look at this tree of sizes of ships. 1. Frigate 1.5 Destroyer 2. Cruiser 2.5 Battlecruiser 3. Battleship 4. Cap ships (can be further subdivided) Now, a SB is a frigate, yes, a T2 frigate, but a frigate nonetheless. It can easily best other ships its size, usually destroyers, and often cruisers. The battlecruiser is MUCH larger than a frigate (2.5 times larger according to my chart, yes I made it up off the top of my head). T2 ships are not meant to be the WTFomgLOLroflPWNshipsOFD00M, they are SPECIALIZED ships. They perform certain roles. Mauraders and Black Ops (T2 battleships) cannot solo pwn capital ships EVEN though they are "t2" ships, and so it should be. They have SPECIALIZED ROLES. To summerize, SB are not meant to be able to solo any ship in the game and win. They have a certain niche to fill, and that does not include the ability to solo kill ships 2 and 1/2 classes larger than it.
Spineker Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.07.07 22:03:00 - [76] It could happen but it doesn't in fleet battles, one little blip isn't going to matter on a overview with 30 targets, fire and leave before it registers. Tacklers going to run away from a pointed BS to go after a frigate 100 km away? Its really not difficult to do and is fun and the SB is a blast if used correctly. I could possibly get tackled in any thing shit happens.
