I've read many forum posts about bombers in general but not lately of the current Nemesis build specifically. So how does it fare in Solo PvP/PvE? I read that it is mostly for group play, which im considering it for a later goal for small gang PvP and maybe some level 3 Missions. I like the stealth bomber fighting style a bit, but the only one I truly even enjoy at all is the Nemesis but I cannot stop hearing how much it lacks in the battle, so im thinking of not even investing in the skills at all.

Honestly, can it be viable and put up a fight against the other ships? Or contribute to the main group?

Solo hunting NPCers in 0.0 with a Hound is good fun...

Stealth bombers are only good against player and NPC ships that are battlecruiser size or bigger, due to the explosion radius on torpedoes and bombs.

The moment you decide to try and solo PVP in a stealth, bomber, you immediately limit the number of targets you can even think about going after to just those handful of idiots who think that going to fight solo in a slow moving, slow aligning large ship is a good idea.

Not to mention that drones eat up stealth bombers, so your engagement envelop is even more limited to just idiots in slow moving, slow aligning large ships who stay in space without drones.. ie virtually nobody.


A lot of people hear about the stealth bomber concept and imagine that it would be great to stalk someone, uncloak on them and blap them. They don't realise that to stop this being an OP tactic, CCP ensures that cloaking ships have significant combat drawbacks.
