  looks sound to me. except the target painter, i would drop that for another sensor booster/dampener maybe.

  what would be the difference between a target painter and a sensor booster, with scan res script?

  Actually, the cap recharger should be tossed for another sensor dampener. Stealth bombers do not need to be cap stable in any way, shape, or form. You can't use modules while cloaked and cloaks don't cost any cap to use. Thus, the only time you use cap is when you warp or when you engage a target.
  
  Bombers are paper thin. If you get targeted, you're dead. Thus, don't concern yourself with nos or neuts as it's much more efficient to simply shoot you. Barring that, your cap should last plenty long enough until you're dead, your target is dead, or you warp out.
  
  This is also why the second sensor dampener would be better in place of the cap recharger; you want to prevent your target from targeting you back. And keep the target painter. While the painter doesn't increase your volley damage in EFT, what EFT is unable to tell you is that a lot of your volley damage from your torps can be lost due to the torp's explosion velocity compared to your target's signature radius and speed. The target painter blows up the signature radius of your target, thus allowing more of your torp damage to be applied to your target. It's useful.
  
  The only other suggestions I have is to train some skills to use and fit T2 launchers, and toss some calefaction catalyst rigs on there. The last low slot that has the overdrive in it is kinda like a "wild card" and can be used in different ways depending on your skills and other modules. Replace the overdrive in the following priority: 1) another BCU II (yes, four damage mods, you want to max out your volley damage), 2) a nano, or 3) a CPU upgrade (probably not necessary if you're not using T2 launchers). I recommend a nano over overdrive simply because it will help cut down your align time which is useful for getting out of gate camps or other situations when it hits the fan. These suggestions are pretty skill intensive, and will probably double the cost of your ship, so look at them as a goal to work towards. But it's well worth it as it will also maximize your performance.

  thanx for the info, I'll look into modifying my setup, t2 launchers are one of my goals, but not immediate.
  
  thanks again

  Four damage mods? Are you counting the two Calefaction Catalyst Rigs?

  Of course. I consider them such because they impose the stacking penalty along with the damage boost from the BCU's. But since the sole purpose of a stealth bomber is to deliver as large of a volley it possibly can, it's definitely worth using 4 damage mods (2 calefactions, 2 BCU's) if you can fit them.

  OK, just making sure I understood you. I agree about the volley damage too. I miss the glory days of Cruise Missile-fitted Manticores (sigh).

  Use kinetic bombs instead.
