EVE General Discussion

there's your first problem right there.

Carebears.

im a sharebear in a carebear suit

great news!! thanks for the support! I did shoot you a mail, hope we soon can trash that place together!

dont miss the additional 30 rifters coming from Wolfhammer, thats a total of 60 ships + the 10 stealth bomber, our warchest will be nicely filled to do nonstop trips to VFK

Good Morning Gentlemen.

Today we will be training on the Caldari Manticore. This state of the art stealth bomber is capable of sneaking across enemy lines and engaging ships much larger than itself.

A product of the Lai Dai corporation, this bird is capable of carrying and launching torpedoes, weaponry designed for much larger battleships. In addition, in the hands of extremely skilled pilots, she is capable of firing torpedoes from a much greater distance than any standard battleship could ever hope to. These are it's strength.

However, due it's highly specialized nature, it has some major drawbacks: namely, it is very fragile, as any properly fitted Manticore will not have much room for defensive modules, and because it is designed to go after battleships and battlecruisers, it performs very poorly against frigate and cruiser class vessels.

You must be aware of these weaknesses and use your stealth to dictate when and where to strike. It is advisable to keep range on battleships, however should it become necessary to point and hold a target, it is advisable to carry sensor dampeners to slow the battleships lock time. This works well in a group, but be advised only one dampener may allow a battleship to eventually gaine lock, and at point range you may become susceptible to drone attack.

It is also advisable to carry target painters on board, this will allow you to effectively engage cruisers and battlecruisers by increasing their signature radius and making it easier for torpedoes to land. Be aware some cruisers use weaponry that is very effective against frigates, be cautious when engaging.

Finally, avoid engaging enemy frigates at all costs. Unless you are trained to launch bombs, and you know the enemy frigate has engaged his microwarp drives and is in range, do not decloak and fire! Torpedo weaponry performs too poorly on its own, even with target painters, and a frigate class vessel will chew a stealth bomber up.

In the upcoming days we will continue to train in tier 1 vessels while you learn more about the stealth bomber class. Don't forget to brush up on support skills in addition to your stealth bomber training. Once you are in the Manticore, the brass will begin sending you across enemy lines, straight into the heart of the Goonwaffe.

I don't think I need to tell you how dangerous this is, but I will remind you the fate of the free world may very well rest in your hands.

Dismissed.

Good point. I just like the Manticore on looks, but Arch is correct. Goonbears will be fitted to defend against Guristas, they will have strong kinetic/thermal tanks.

Yes, you should use Purifiers. Please talk to Zed Mike for more details, he used to be pretty good at ganking Drakes with a purifier.

I like those guys here as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AGEm4y-fdI

Because we totally dont get our ships off alliance contracts

and you cant dock in our stations, our buy hub is Jita- try telling those guys not to sell

get back in your L4 scrub

Son, you're thinking way too narrowly for what I'm talking about.
Stick to tackling.
