Hello I don't know if you guys will find this useful for your new bro's torp bomber stuff but I made it so here it is, Also I am terrible at write ups about pvp. ( This is for combat only , it does not explain how to d-scan or find enemies. )



Hello this is going to be a guide on what to engage and not engage in eve with solo bombers ,


What you have to understand about the solo bomber is that it has next to no shield and sig tank is pretty much your only option, The problem is the bomber does not go fast enough to escape any drones even MWD fit and will die very quickly under any dps pressure.

Another useful fact is that if you are rocking skills with T2 torps , You will want to use rage torpedo's only against battleships , and javelin via all other targets unless you have a target painting buddy with you.

Ships to engage and not to engage .

Raven, now with this particular ship it will depend if he pulls light drones out and is a clever cookie you will be in trouble but have no fear as you can kill him with Only a purifier in time before he hazes you. This would only be in effect in Pve zones with guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel.



Hyperion , now on this ship you will want to either pick between being 20km + away or right on his face do not orbit or manual pilot between 3km - 17km or you will be in a world off hurt if he has any sort of tracking skills. Also check to see if he is shield ( glowing blue ) or armor tanked ( glowing gold) if he is shield tanked you would want to be in a purifer in the regions of , guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel.

But if he is armour tanked you will want a hound to finish him off quickly , only engage a armour Hyperion in , guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space. ( Fun fact : if he has sentry drones you want to pick the in his face option as stated above always or you will die )

Same applies to the Megaton and Rokh .



Dominix , This ship is hell on earth for your bomber, But i will not say it is unbeatable infact its quite the opposite, If he has sentry drones out you want to get close to about 5km with full angular velocity which means don't burn straight towards the drones go at an angle that is aligned to something so if you suddenly get volleyed and ****** you can warp instantly . If he pulls light drones or medium GTFO you will not live long, If he neuts you same rule as before don't stay as you can warp without having capacitor.
Again if he is shield tanked you would want to be in a purifier in the regions of , guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel.

And if armour tanked be in a hound in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.



Apocalypse, This piece of **** is a cake walk , should and always will be armour tanked , You will want to engage this at about 13km because from personal experience they always seem to have webs if close range fit and cannot hit you at 13km if far range fit so happy zone for everyone.
If he has drones if you are in a hound you will be able to kill him before launch or even with them on you , you should out dps him before you die, again you can still align to something if worried , You should engage this in a hound in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.

( The same applies to the rest of the amarr T1 battle ships apart from the Armageddon see further down )



Armageddon, Well I normally would say don't engage but where is the fun in that, These things are a living hell because they always seem to carry a neut that has range off 40km or something and for this reason i have never killed one on my ( own ) but if you get two hounds you may be able to dunk this **** lord of a ship , If you are on your own you want to stay about 15km away from him and be alligned to something that gives you angular velocity and if he neuts you warp away or if he pulls drones .
You should engage this in a hound in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.
If he his shield tanked which is unlikely you will want to be in a purifier in guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel space.



Pirate faction ships

Nightmare, seems to be always long range every time I have engaged, but has a stasis web so i would say engage at about 15km and if it pulls drones be aligned to something and ready to leave on a moments notice if its not nearly dead.
Purifier if shield in guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel space.
Hound if armour tanked in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.

Vindicator , Same rule as the hyperion but is considered a worse ship for it has better tracking and kick ass dps also with good drone bay , You want to leave the site if it shows a competent pilot behind the wheel. Keep range from this ship or get very close it will depend on his fit he might have web so be aligned when you get mega close and if you get webbed just warp instant . Only engage this ship if you feel lucky.
Purifier if shield in guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel space.
Hound if armour tanked in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.

Part 2

All industry ships are killable apart from a few like the Skiff, Bait transport ship , Battle fit miners, how to tell if miners are battle fit they will only have one mining laser or none. How to tell bait transport it's easy it just sits there waiting on you.

All HAC's are a no , Unless it is a ishtar not moving with sentry drones then you can engage with a Purifier if shield in guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel space or a Hound if armour tanked in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space, but remember to keep range at about 5km if he has sentry's and also if he pulls other drones just gtfo if he is not in structure.

Tier 3's are a no if you are on your own unless it looks like he is struggling with a site but remember looks can be deceiving.

Capitals I would advise having a cyno with you and checking you are 1 mid away or in range from home system and calling it out, Also watch list any capital pilots and put on your eve notes what system and carrier he is ratting in,

Any T3 battle-cruisers you can kill in sites prior to there battleship race and weapons.
So Purifier if shield fit in guristas, serpentis, drones, Angel cartel space.
Hound if armour tanked in guristas, serpentis, sansha, Blood raider space.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very important tips

Any ship not listed or compared to the same of that type is not killable in your solo bomber and the reason i have only listed Purifier and hound is because they are the most efficient killers of the bombers so if you are not trained in either one I would say start to , Purifier being the most used and best one by personal opinion.

If anything warp disrupts you it could be bait or pvp fit and is upto you if you want to run away.
Train cyno 5 it is a well worth while skill,
Train covert ops lv 5 gives you a **** ton more dps and volley damage.

Use Caldari navy Mjolnir damage type while flying a purifier .
Use Caldari navy Nova damage type while flying a hound.

The solo fit bomber Has to be MWD fit. Not afterburner fit or you will die to gate camps.
If you are not aware of the micro warp drive and cloak trick then type it in Google and search.

Don't faction fit your bombers it does not help much.

Try not to talk or stay in the same local too long it gives them time to set up a hell camp and if you talk they know you are active.
If you kill something don't post it in local, gives them free intel about what missiles you are using and what damage type there bait will set up, but you can smack talk just don't mention you killed anything.

P.s I am a double agent. cool.gif
Tears are delicious.


Hope you guys enjoy blowing stuff up.

Doc Fury will be in here to tell you where you should have posted this (hey, is that "discussing moderation"? Lol )

In the past when other players wrote guides, like the still useful though outdated "rifter guide" and the first major wormhole guide from Arcdragon, it was put into PDF format and provided as a link to download. Those guides can still be found and are still of some use (they will show their age after a few years).

I would recommend you do that. You can use Bullzip PDF Printer to create your PDF file from any document. I would also suggest you include some bomber fittings - reason being is that I read your post and thought "so how do I fit the bomber to take out a BS?"

Bring back DEEEEP Space!
