Ccp hates caldari , no wonder why the missile race which had the best bomber now has the crappiest.

The one that happens to have a bonus for bomb type your FC orders to use, I guess.

Or maybe the one which is bonused for damage type not matching the typical one of rats in this particular region.


Doesnt matter in a bomber wing of 10 you can put any bomb in and if your all on target its still 60k alpha.


That small bonus you get from using your bomb is nilch in any fleet engagement.

If you want to be the snowflake in the nemisis in a purifer gang go ahead. if your bombing you bring the em bomb and launch it with the rest. If its a torp op you bring your inferno torps and go to town.

Nemesis is sexy but a little brick. Good dmg type all around imho

I prefer the fastest and agile these two factors are the ones that will probably save your ass most often, Hound is fast and agile, his explosive dmg bonus makes it a little bit better over all imho.

Actually they're all quite good except maybe Nemesis agility being a pain some times.

Hound is my go-to for fleet bombing.

Manti is tops for sec ratting, and it has 4 mids, so you can viably use it for cloaky hunting (Prop mod, point, EW, EW)

Here's my ratting Manti fit:

[Manticore, Ratter]
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II

1MN Afterburner II
Small C5-L Emergency Shield Overload I
Dread Guristas Kinetic Deflection Field
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron

Torpedo Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Torpedo
Torpedo Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Torpedo
Torpedo Launcher II, Caldari Navy Scourge Torpedo
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
[empty high slot]

Small Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Small Semiconductor Memory Cell I

Ideally I'd like put missile rigs on it if there was even a tiny bit of CPU to spare, but a bit of extra cap, speed & agility never goes to waste. If you're willing to use a +3% CPU implant, you can put 1 Rigor rig on.

Here's my fleet bombing fit: It's wholly geared to warping in, dropping a bomb and then getting the hell out ASAP. That's its only job. The ECM is a last ditch defence against some frigate getting a lucky tackle with a scram.

[Hound, Fleet]
Warp Core Stabilizer II
Warp Core Stabilizer II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
'Cetus' ECM Shockwave I
Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Induction

Bomb Launcher II, Concussion Bomb
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
