Recently made this character for FW. Can anyone recommend a good stealth bomber for FW? Preferably one that would be good for PvP but could also be used for PvE and wouldn't take longer than a month to train for.

You should look into the in-game channel called "bombers bar", they do bombing runs, and can help you with the PVP aspect of Stealth Bombers. As for the PVE aspect, i hear that Gallente and Caldari FW missions are quite hard in SB's, but doable. Minmatar and Amarr is easier. This is due to the racial e-war they use.

You will see very little to no use of a stealth bomber in PVP Faction Warfare, as it stands at the moment it's all fast frig/dessie combat and a SB will be torn to shreds.

As for PVE your best bet is probably a Manticore, fit it with a AB, TPx2 with a shield buffer and Bay Thruster/Fuel Cache rigs and you should be set. Just be prepared to warp out a few times.

Keep looking around though, as I could be wrong, its just my opinion.
