Planet side duties have kept me quite occupied lately and I have had very little time to keep the crews in shape. Our patrol went well the other night and we just completed a test run in the new stealth bomber.
Although we didn't get any kills, we did not get killed or even take fire. We dealt over 1,000 hp of damage to an assault ship over the course of 2 bombing runs. Each time we were able to evade quick enough to keep from getting locked. The second time we did hear the alarm sound that we were being targeted just as we entered warp. We would have done more damage and perhaps gotten a kill had the weapons control officer remembered to use the target painter. Bombs don't do the damage to frigates that they do to battle cruisers and battle ships. The goal of practicing bombing runs in a combat setting was highly successful though and the crew was quick to get into a good rhythm.
I'm finding the stealth bomber a tough ship to solo in but cannot wait to start working in packs.
