For a couple of reasons.

1. Most folks can fly them, so it's easy to match up bomb damage (everyone grab a manticore works, everyone grab a purifier - not so much)


Why is that?

Requirements for Purifier are the exact same for the Manti except its Amarr Frig V instead of Gallente Frig V...

What happened to Eve's old motto; Here's a spaceship. Fuck you.

Because most folks join eve and fly caldari from day one. They have caldari frig to 5 first. So, in a gang of mixed SP players - most lower SP players have manticore first. I've been processing new players for years - it's an observation.


Atomeon - the arbies and so on. It's a standard fit I have that most pilots can fly. I can hand them out with the reasonable expectation that the person I'm passing it to won't offline it. This is the all arounder fit - which for years in wh space I have found to be good enough for what we do. There are always the max/min ninnies and the EFT warlords that will tell you what you have to do. I'm the reality guy that has developed a good solid manticore fit that doesn't require months of training and crazy implants to fly around in. This is one of the cases where I have found the "best fit" is the one that everyone can get into quickly and have fun.

Big picture - it's a freakin' bomber - tons of fun for cheap. It's not always about polarized torps and all the other garbage folks try to sell you. Buy 30, fit them up, hand them out to your guys and go have fun. (reship as necessary)

No uncloaking target delay on a Bomber though. I like that.
Oh and it is hard for a Astero to blow up a large indy or BS.



I like to see bombers as half a raven (dps) w/ all aces in uncloaking surprise sex.... er pvp.

Interesting observation.
