Hound

Specifically engineered to fire torpedoes, stealth bombers represent the next generation in covert ops craft. The bombers are designed for sneak attacks on large vessels with powerful missile guidance technology enabling the torpedoes to strike faster and from a longer distance.

Developer: Boundless Creation

Boundless Creation ships are based on the Brutor tribe's philosophy of warfare: simply fit as much firepower onto your ship as humanly possible. On the other hand, defense systems and “cheap tricks” like electronic warfare have never been a high priority.

The Hound is the Minmatar Stealth Bomber. It is bonused for explosive torpedoes and bombs. Stealth Bombers are mostly quite similar, but the Hound's unique selling point is its speed and agility, which makes it a good bomber, since it is more likely to make its escape after bombing.

Fit the Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I first and the rest of the mid slots second. If you have fitting issues, try Small Core Defence Field Extenders for the rig slots and/or Malkuth launchers. Swap out mid slots as a last resort. All races of bombers work together to form hot drop fleet doctrine. In a nutshell, Hounds and Purifiers have MWDs and points. Manticores and Nemeses target paint and damp.

The probe launcher is for scanning out cosmic signatures people might hide in. If you are AFK cloaking then its best to only use probes when you don't mind people knowing that you are active. Alternatively you could fit a covert cyno.
