Just wondering, after the changes, has anyone tried any of the SB's for null belt ratting? Are they still viable for it?

In the end, I'm sure folks will find a way to make them work. The fact that they are small, cloaky ships with torpedo launchers is what made them good ninja ratters, and those things haven't changed.

Fit T2 launchers, prop mod, TP, and sebo. Use JAvelin vs BS/BC rats. Make mad isk, yo.

Many thanks to Fozzie for making my bombers capable of fitting T2 torp launchers now, in addition to MSE/MWD. Now I can rat and pvp at the same time.

I was only paying a little attention to the bomber changes, but if they can all fit t2 launchers, MSE, and MWD then that sounds like a good thing.

it was possible before patch, and now bombers were slightly boosted... why would be it now not possible?

I was a bit worried that the signature radius of all the SB were increased, their agility and align time were also increased, equivalent to a slight nerf to sig tanking.

I might take one out for a spin and try out in null. Anyway thanks for the replies.

Use the sisters of eve frigate or cruiser. They use dones and lazers (don't need ammo) and can warp cloaked just like a bomber. Any ratting a bomber can do.... a SOE frig/cruiser can do better.

Plus they mayke juicier km when you get wonked.
