Ships & Modules

torpedoes
target painter
bomb launcher (if using in null sec)
sensor damp if using in pvp
cloaking (for a cloak duh)

Also why train for something you have no idea what you will use it for?

Well to be fair, how else am i going to find out without information from other pilots? Think of it as a passage of knowledge :)

welcome to the bomber club.

well this is my fit for my manti

highs:
cloak
3xlauncher

mids:
MWD
MASB
2x meta 4 TP

lows:
2x BCS

rigs:
2x poly carbon engine housing


mainly a nano fit to fly fast. i there is a ingame chat full of bomber specialists that will take you out and help you with fits, tactics and doctrine and the like. "bombers bar" is the chat name have fun

why not? i trained amarr recons simply cuz i saw how fast they kicked my ass and i thought they looked sexy doin it.
besides even if it doesnt suit her/him it might point them in a direction that does.

I have a Manticore fit:

Manticore
3 Arbalest Torps, Covops Cloak, Probe Launcher
1mn AB, MSE, Scram, Painter
2 BCU
2 ACR

I've solo killed all kinds of **** with it. Several battle cruisers (Harbingers, Hurricanes, Tier 3s, etc. Avoid Myrms and now Prophecies).

Training would be:
- Basic Ship Supports
- Torps 4-5
- Missile Supports 4-5
- Covops 4-5
- Cloaking 4
- Painter Spec 4

-Liang

Beat to mentioning bomber bar! Drat

That aside start learning now how to do bombing runs as a group. Nothing ruins bomber gangs more than a snow flake. Understanding how bombs deploy and why they need to be coordinated is important stuff.

Next train into cyno and cov-cyno. Even if you hate actual bombing those will make you a hero for scouting and cap work.

At the end of the day (as said above) bombers in PvP can be very effective in high discipline gangs. They can do some interesting but limited pve jobs. (That count I have never tested myself). But your first job is likely to be that of a fwd observer fleet scout or blood hounding targets for your gang. Learning how to move in and around other ships and objects and not decloaking is job #1.

If your corp doesn't field bomb/blop wings however you may need to decide quick if scouting is for you. It can be thankless hi risk and disproportionately boring work.

other than the corp that runs bomber bar chat i dont know of any. but the guys in there will take any 1 out and i believe they operate on a "if its not purple shoot it" policy. just head in X up and go nuts

I use one to surprise folks in WHS. Noctis on cleanup is good.

:) hy, the nemesis is one of the greatest SB for solo work

cloak
3x arbalest lauchers
bomb launcher

MSE
1 mn ab II
Disruptor II

2x Balistical control II

-DPS 470 overheat dps with my skills (missile suport skills at 3 4 , torps at 3 cov ops at 4)
Cap last 2 minuts

-with lvl 5 skills DPS is 590 overheat and cap stable (and you can drop a ancilar rig with a cheap PG implant and fit another one)


-rigs 2 ancilar rigs

-it's a beast....you should fly a SB only when you have cov ops 4, its a short training time for cov ops 4 , my missile skills are not that good and it still has huge dps.

-it's good for fleets and for hunting people rating that dont have their EM hole filled up, so do some research and find the areas in wich you can succesfuly do that.

-Purif is a great ship learn to fly it, perfect skills and GL Hunting (can kill any tier 3 BC except talos, rating BS, BC and a quick youtube search can get you a lot of footage,)

There is another fit with a MWD and cap booster has less eph but can escape gate camps more often and can do more stuff but its more SP hungry and a lot more harder to fly and managing cap so use this one, master it first.

You're joking aren't you?

OP, you have no kills listed on the board? A stack of T1 frigates in lowsec will teach you just as much about PvP as SBs and be much cheaper. You will also find a lot more opportunities.

If this is your first PvP experience I can guarantee you will make many embarrassing mistakes. Do it cheaply so it doesn't hurt.
