Having a discussion wether or not the stealth bombers always have had the ability to use a bomb launcher.

They have not. They weren't even bombers... they were just cloaky torp kites. But yes the "stealth bombers" predate bomb launchers by some time..

I'm your source. I've been maintaining an every-ship-in-eve list for 6 years here.

I'll look around for some old databases that haven't been updated... no promises but there are a few that might still be up and in a pre-bomblauncher state.

Edit: Revelations II Patch Notes - introducing the bomb launcher

Edit 2: I believe the stealth bomber ships were introduced in Red Moon Rising, but I can't find the patch notes...

Edit 3: I was wrong... stealth bombers were introduced just BEFORE Red Moon Rising... still long before the bomb launcher though.

Changing them to torps was one of CCP's better fixes.

I remember the days of tanking Stealth Bombers in a Kestrel in the days before we left IAC, when the Cloak (Curse) Coallition used to use AFK cloakers to deny us access to RNF...
It was great fun trolling them with Defender missiles Twisted

I beg to differ. I used one all the time, in fact, even enjoyed it much more than the Torp versions. Was fun, sitting in on corp mining ops, and blowing up the noobs who decided to can flip in cruisers. Could usually one volley them, he he he. Was also fun seeing people run out of belts in low sec when you uncloaked. Even had a few awesome 1v1 fights out in low sec against various ships, even interceptors. Would also love sitting outside stations in a small gang during wars, waiting for some war target in a battleship undock. Uncloak and fire. Was fun. Some of the most fun PvP I had in a ship was the Cruise Missile Manticore. Blink
