It looks sort of like something Batman would be seen flying. I think we should start calling them the Bat Bomber.

Doesn't matter. The agility is still ****.X

Apparently changing the art is easier than a simple recoding of mass or agility to balance it with other ships in the class. Roll

You see your Gallente stealth bomber is supposed to armor tank (with two low slots) and have **** agility like all Gallente ships are supposed to be.Ugh Was it Zulupark or who was it that used to be in charge of ship balancing? Anyway I hope they have replaced or are replacing or reassigning those devs that saw the racial predispositions as a straightjacket which totally overrode notions of ship roles. Fine to have some racial characteristics, but a bomber does not tank.

Even a ******** Gallente defense procurment agency would eventually learn that it needed a more nimble bomber.P

edit - on a related topic to my post above, here's a plug for rethinking the stupid tanking bonuses on BRs, particularly the "armor tanking" ones.Lol

While the new Nemesis model is very sexeh the major proble is exactly what Lili just pointed out.

Never not fly Minmatar bombers when it comes to serious stuff.

Sadly, the new Nemesis looks like a '90s attempt at a 'futuristic-looking' VCR player, and flies like you threw said VCR out a window.

(appliance defenestration, dont'cha know…)

Only downside I've noticed with the Manticore is a smaller hold, for less ammo.

Can't decide whether I'm more perturbed by the new Nem model, or the new missile effects getting rid of Torp blast-rings.

Not sure if you're trolling or not, but SBs only got new models because the new torpedo launcher models wouldn't fit on them without looking ridiculous.

Yeap ... Mega is the Batmobile supreme. If only I could still get it with a deathblack finish.
