EVE New Citizens Q&A

I haven't played in a very long time, I was wondering where a solo stealth bomber should go? I don't know anyone anymore and I hate going through the pain of identifying if I am a spy so I am going to stay away from joining a corp for now.

Other than that ramble, where should I setup camp and bomb some people? Thanks :)

Is bomber's bar still a thing ??

I know that you said that you don't want to join a corp right now but also BlOps drops are still a thing. As a bomber you can be either the dropper or the one being dropped.

Haven't seen so many bombers visiting us recently. NPSI seem to be running inties / frigs / dessies a lot. I think everyone is playing with the new command dessies, snatching the careless and unwary from station undocks.

However, if you say "I've got a stealth bomber" and "I'm looking for trouble" I've no doubt something interesting will turn up. They are a lot of fun for not too much money.

I added you, and responded to your message in game. Thank you, can't wait to play.

Yes, stop by the Bombers Bar in game channel and you will find plenty of chit chat and general carnage. You will also find out about scheduled fleets that are coming up, bomber fittings and also you can sign up to the bombers bar slack so you can be notified about fleets that way too. Flying bombers solo is pretty boring, they work best in a group :)

Wormhole space, definitely. The lack of local actually allows you to do what the stealth bomber does best. Especially when solo, because you need to time things carefully to be effective (IE attack the ratter when he's already being hit hard by sleepers, etc.) and anywhere else people will just run and hide when they see someone new and unidentified in local.

You may want to consult the killboard of the master of solo bombers for ideas or just inspiration.

Bombers Bar operates out of Thera though on occasion, we will form up near a trade hub in K Space. Operations varying from Whale Hunting (carriers and other caps) to roams and other such shenanigans. It's just like Spectre fleet in that it is NPSI (not purple, shoot it) but the chat channel is much more new bro friendly (just my opinion). Access to Thera is relatively easy thanks to the good folks in SIgnal Cartel and you can usually find someone in BB to help get you in (always the case if you're fleeted up). Anyone interested in details can message me and I'll be happy to help.

Could someone please explain a bit of this dudes way to operate?
Looking some of his losses, hes always carrying extended probe launcher and combat probes.
2 things i thought couldnt be fit to a stealth bomber.. or atleast you cant get anything else active?

Second thing baffling here is that even if you could fit those, where would you do it? every activity he has is in J-space.
Going to station to fit combat probes and back to J-space to scan and then back to fit your combat fit seems kinda hassle?
And that dont explain why keep it in cargo :P

I'm propably missing something since im returning from a long brake :)

It's actually pretty common to have access to stations when wormhole diving because you're normally starting from empire space. From my experience you almost never need a combat scanner in wormhole space so he probably just has one just in case. The vast majority of the time people are at warpable locations or scannable sites. You really only need combats if someone has a safe spot or their site has already despawned and you don't expect them to go somewhere else. Using them otherwise will just spook your target and dscan plus core scanners will work just as well.
