Insane bomber

I found this crazy youtube video featuring solo PvP in faction/deadspace fit Manticore bombers and Cerebus assault ships. For the first half of the video the pilot is flying a Manticore with a fit based around an oversized Corelum C-Type 10MN Afterburner. With speed implants he gets over 2700 m/s overheated (1900+ without heat), a tiny 39 m signature radius and over 500 DPS from 4k+ torpedo volleys.

Video link: New Era of Manticores

There are some insane fights in there like him taking on 7 or 8 Battlecruisers at once and not only winning but making it look easy.

The fit is expensive (around 750 million at current Jita prices) but it looks like an awful lot of fun. I may have to try it sometime.

  1. I'd recommend getting some experience with Bombers Bar or someone before taking that out :)

    Damn traders got too much money!

    1. Indeed I remember the article. I don't know however how much time you've spent with them.

    2. Not a whole lot, hence my use of the word "sometime". :)

  3. Inspired by that i made a 10mn fit without expensive stuff.
    It doesnt do as well as that up there but its 44mil :P

    Oh yeah i like the nemesis, should work with other bombers just as well.

  4. Interesting fit there kara. The speed is lower and it doesn't have the smartbomb for drone killing but it is a heck of a lot cheaper.

    Your fit works for Manticores too and there's room to fit the corelum 10MN AB in too. That might be a good compromise for someone willing to spend ~140 mil more for the extra speed but doesn't want the expense of the full faction fit.
