Notes
- JAMMING: Stealth Bombers (18) have an equivalent/natural sensor strength of a Catalyst (11) fitted with 1 ECCM - Magnetometric I (~19.8). It remains to be seen how effective jamming will be against this new threat.
- RANGE: The weapon range of torpedoes is much greater than the weapon range of the 'gankalyst'. This will allow criminals a wider range of options for warp-ins. Positioning for interdiction will require faster ships or long range snipers.
- Torpedoes are battleship class weapons, although the Hyperdunking examples thus far do not show fewer attack runs.
- These Stealth Bombers are 4 times more expensive than the T2 fitted gankalyst.
We will monitor this tactic as it develops.
