+ +## Summary + +
+ + +The Manticore is the Caldari Stealth Bomber. Its unique selling point is its high CPU, which means that, unlike the Nemesis, it can comfortably populate its 4 mid slots. This makes the Manticore arguably the best solo torpedo bomber, since it can use its mids to fit EWAR modules to prevent a target from fighting back. +## Skills +While the skills above will allow you to 'fly' the Manticore it is pointless to fly a Stealth Bomber without a covert ops cloaking device (Cloaking IV), or torpedo launchers (Torpedoes I). + +Required to function as a Stealth Bomber: + Cloaking IV + 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 +Like all stealth bombers, the Manticore is designed for surprise attacks against specific targets. +## Notes +The Manticore is a fierce mythological creature originating in ancient Persian legends and widespread in medieval and early-modern European art. It is usually depicted with a human or human-like head, a lion's body, and a spiny, poisonous tail. +## Patch History \ No newline at end of file
