## Summary

</div>


The Hound is the Minmatar Stealth Bomber. It is bonused for explosive torpedoes and bombs. Stealth Bombers are mostly quite similar, but the Hound's unique selling point is its speed and agility, which makes it a good bomber since it is more likely to make its escape after bombing.
## Skills
While the skills above will allow you to 'fly' the Hound it is pointless to fly a Stealth Bomber without a covert ops cloaking device (Cloaking IV), or torpedo launchers (Torpedoes I).

Suggested Skills:
 Navigation III
 Acceleration Control III
 Warp Drive Operation III
 Spaceship Command IV
 Evasive Maneuvering III
 CPU Management V
 Power Grid Management V
 Capacitor Management III
 Target Painting II
 Electronic Warfare II
 Sensor Linking II
 Long Range Targeting III
 Signature Analysis III
 Target Management III
 Shield Management III
 Shield Operation III
 Energy Grid Upgrades III
 Launcher Rigging II
 Astronautics Rigging II
 Jury Rigging III
 Mechanics IV

In addition, you will want to get missile launcher skills as high as possible, as well as Bomb Launching skills. These skills include:
 Missile Bombardment IV
 Missile Projection III
 Rapid Launch III
 Target Navigation Prediction III
 Warhead Upgrades III
 Bomb Deployment I
 Covert Ops IV
## Tactics
