You mean best targets? Or literally the best kills in eve history done by a single Manticore?

Get on Comms, or die typing.

I imagine in terms of manticore, it killing a frig may as well be considered good kill. The point here is to see for example how well active tank would do on manticore.

Active tank? On a stealth bomber? It's a novel and amusing concept, I'll grant you that.

Why don't you give it a crack and report back how you go. I'll get popcorn.

A Purifier or Hound will get more dps, but sacrifice a midslot.
Definitely vs turret-based opponents.

You don't think it's just that much easier to try and outdps enemy or better yet simply strike at defenseless enemies rather than going for tracker, and Im saying that having killed a salvager for 30 mil.

Then I'd just use torps and target painters

"outDPS" usually means: 'your DPS vs his tank' against 'his DPS vs your tank'.

Knowing that usually SB is made of glass it would be pretty difficult to outDPS anyone with guns.

For example my alt in Endurance was recently attacked by SB. I decided to stay until i need to go (having 2x stabs i can leave at any moment anyway).
Launched my 3 hobgoblins. Vs his Torpedo launchers.

When he got to about 50% of shields he left. (that moment when you wish you had point fitted Lol)
... and endurance continued to peacefully mine. Slowly regaining lost 14-20% of shield.

Maybe shite rigs, I use rigs that decrease explosion radius of torpedoes since -20% from 450 may be more than +60% to target signature (eg. less than 237). Anyway you wind up doing like 1/7 of damge with endurances 40sig and 290ish explosion radius, after 1 painter and 2 rigs for minus explosion. With somewhat decent skills I say you don't kill endurance with its 3x tank and 1/4 damage (1/5*500 vs 25ish).
