So guess what, I have a lovely little Nemesis stealth bomber sitting in FD pretty much fully fitted at a reasonable cost. Hannibal already has some lovely missile skills for the Drake so that’s not a worry. I only need to get the Torpedo and Bomb Deployment skill books and I can go cause some mayhem in 0.0.
Mail will continue training for the SB as well and will also get a Nemesis on station in FD sometime next week.
My list of ships now available for flight in 0.0 is a Brutix, Caracal and Merlin for Mail Lite and a Nemesis, Helios and Drake for Hannibal. This gives me some nice options for roaming and I should be able to field a ship for whatever fleet is called for.
I took Hannibal’s Helios out for a spin last night to check my scanning skills were still at an acceptable level. Got a couple of nice Screen shots from the plexes I scanned down:
So tonight I am out, having dinner at friends, but I’m going to try and get 30 minutes of EvE before we go so I can get those skills into Hannibals head. By Friday evening I should be able to take my Nemesis ‘TARP!’ out for a spin.
My fitting at the moment for the Nemesis is;
‘TARP!’ – Nemesis
3 x Siege Missile Launchers I > (Mix of Torpedoes)
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Bomb Launcher I > Concussion Bomb
Parallel Target Painter I
Parallel Target Painter I
Sensor Booster I > Targeting Range
1MN Microwarpdrive I
Ballistic Control System II
Ballistic Control System II
Small Hydraulic Bay Thrusters I
Small Hydraulic Bay Thrusters I
Not bad and I will soon have two characters fielding these ships. That’s nice.

Stealth Bombers are fun ships, paper thin, but a lot of damage potential. They are great for lots of things and they totally suck at lots of others, finding out which are which is the real trick.
ReplyDeleteI fly both the Manti and the Nemesis, both good at different things. SB can be fit a bunch of different ways, but the rule is keep 'em cheap, fast and light. Cause you will be killed in them a lot.
Have fun!
Congrats on the Nemisis, but I have a few suggestions for your fit :)
ReplyDeleteuse a scan res script instead of a targeting range one, since torps have a restrictively low range as it is, of 60km at max skillz and your lock range already exceeds their range, it's unlikely that you need extra range to lock a target. Scan rez lets you lock faster and get torps on target! Use the best painters you can, and if fitting for pvp unless you have dedicated tackle (we always tend to) then fit a point.
As for torps to carry, always use the ones you get the damage bonus for as the effective dps, even resisted is still going to be marginally more than the torps without the bonus.
Also how do you fit all this on a bomber? You running some kind of launcher cpu implants? Can't EFT whore it in there :)
My Bomb fit is
[Nemesis, bomb]
Ballistic Control System II
Co-Processor II
1MN MicroWarpdrive I
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron
Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron
Sensor Booster II, Scan Resolution
Bomb Launcher I, [bombs]
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II
Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Inferno Torpedo
Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Inferno Torpedo
Siege Missile Launcher II, Caldari Navy Inferno Torpedo
Small Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I
Small Warhead Flare Catalyst I
Can't recall my missile DPS fit right now, though that might work well for both!
Enjoy FD- =)
Bonused torps or bust. You need a serious resist hole to compensate for losing that big a bonus, in practice those targets (T2 ships) will patch the hole anyway.
ReplyDelete@ Logan, yeah about that fit. I'm using a best named Sensor booster and Siege Launchers T1 as well as best named TP's.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am aware it all fits tho I haven't fitted the bomblauncher to it yet and if it does have issues I will likely follow your lead and grab a Co-Processor II to throw on.
I will look into the type of torps to use when I get back. I should be able to take Hannibal out for a run tonight, I'll probably start with NPC's, just to get my eye in and then see if i can bust a GC or something later.
