Or do. Couldn't care less if you did, really.
Anyway! Originally this was going to be a post about cyno fields, but it has come to my attention recently that most people can't fly a stealth bomber worth a damn. It's a fairly easy concept but most people get themselves killed in a retarded way. So, without further ado, Here's Bernie's guide to Not Suck at Bombing.
Step 1: Get in a bomber.
Step 2: Equip a bomb launcher and cov ops cloak.
Step 3: Load a bomb that's situation specific.
Meaning, if you are going in a fleet, use a bomb that is agreed upon or watch a bomb take out the other bombs, wasting isk and ruining a perfectly good kill.
(Here's where we do the actual run btw)
Step 4: Warp to the target about 50 km off.
Step 5: Approach target until you are 35 km off.
Step 6: Align the front of your ship to the target or where the target is heading.
Step 7: Turn your engines on.
Step 8: At 32 km, uncloak. This is so you can actually launch your bomb with no delay.
Step 9: At 30 km, launch the bomb.
Step 10: Get the hell out. You should not be concerned with watching your bomb go off, or staying around to engage if it's a pure bomb fight. It's the fastest way to lose your bomber.
Step 11: The post fight. Here's where you decide to cut and run or go back for more bombing goodness.
Other than a few technical things here and there, this is all you need to know. Although I do have to remind people that bombs are explode on contact. If you're making a bomb run and there's say, a pos mod, between you and the target, if your bomb hits that pos mod, your bomb will explode prematurely, and you will probably lose your ship. Don't be an idiot.
Soooooo, go forth and bomb. Bombs are fun.
Blue Probes out.
