after stepping into the manticore post-patch, i can safely say it now rocks the granny panties off! good lord, the volley damage and dps are out of this world for a frig
400 DPS w/ rage, 360 w/ faction. we're looking at cruise raven dps on this badboy. the stealth bomber is now officially a ratting boat
what kind of tank is necessary to make it workable? the BSes can't hurt me, but the frigs and dessies can. i've tried using range, and i find that i often can't pop the BS in time to keep out of range of the scramming frigs. i can kit it out like a hulk using a faction booster and get about 60 dps perma. is that enough? is it overkill?
also, can you pop elite frigs in an bomber with just one painter?

It was hard enough to do that when it was cruise missiles lol.
SB isnt for ratting since tank is horrible, and you have no way of killing fighters. I'm pretty sure they could passively tank you with the shield recharge.
You could dual rat with someone in a destroyer or interceptor.

how about you try the tank out yourself? And no, I doubt you'll be popping much of anything smaller than a battlecruiser.

SB with 5 assigned fighters sounds pretty fun, on the other hand ___________

kk, tested it out. the tank works for keeping frigs at bay (gistii b-type booster), but i can't break the tank on the scrammer frigs, and they can't break mine. ended up having to log and wait 15 minutes to disappear.
anyways, if there's scrammers, forget it. don't even bother trying to keep range, unless you want a boring game of chicken.

I had the same passing thought, but TBH.. SBs not that great at ratting. Not saying you can't do it.. but, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. In EVE you can smash the square peg into the round hole sometimes. In other words, If you're not going to be smart, you gotta be strong. You Can use an AF to do LVL 4s, but not sure why you would. On the other hand, if it makes you happy, have at it.
The problem I see is that you might find a rat pointinng or webbing you, then local fills up.. Then you realize that trying to kill a frig with Torps is not the way to go. There just is not a lot of margin for error.

Medium T2 shield extender and racial active resists.
Manticore with kin/therm hardeners and a medium T2 extender was tanking 0.0 rats perfectly fine for me. Don't forget a target painter in last mid slot. I'm toying with the idea of dropping racial hardeners and using an invul II, and then having 2x target painters.
A few volleys to kill BS, 2 for a BC, 1 for destroyers, a couple for cruisers.
The scramming frigs die - eventually - you're more at risk of them keeping you pinned while someone else in local comes and squashes you.
My fits had damage rigs on them as well.

I'd imagine SBs would be good for chaining, not so good for clearing spawns (since they don't kill frigs very well)

Was wondering how long before someone would post about this. :)
The setup i found for it so far : 3x t2 siege, cn/jav ammo cov ops cloak small dimini nos --- domination ballistic shield hardener - active domination heat dissipation amp gistii b-type small sb gistii b-type 1mn af --- domination bcu x2 - or t2 if you can get some cpu implants or ditch the small nos
ccc rigs
about 500 dps ... enjoy. :)
PS: Don't take on dire frigs/cruisers, as for the rest it has no problem taking down. --- I smack just for myself.
