So i decide to train up being able to use bombs. What could be cooler than firing off a 'mini doomsday' with a 15k area of effect weapon amirite? MMMM my first target, a buzzard asleep at the wheel, not moving at a jumpbridge.
20:03:48 Combat Your Concussion Bomb hits Ahbrial [10045]<X.W.X>(Buzzard), doing 576.0 damage.
And the ******* lives! err, so bombs are affected by all that sig radius gobbldy-****? So what i now have is a weapon that i need a small fleet firing off to kill a t2 frig whos dumb enough to sit around for 15 seconds and watch the fireworks? So besides added damage to large targets and killing off drones, bombs are pretty much worthless unless you have three or four firing at the target? or am i missing something here?

bombs are not intended to be used on frigate sized ships. Use on appropriate targets.

They're decent against frigs (600 damage is a good chunk vs a frig), but no, they're not solo IWIN buttons.

Maybe if you built a giant wooden badger...

IMO if a ship is not moving it should take full damage from bombs.

Now what what happens if the frigate is hit while MWD is on.. even better what a HAC pop if its hit while MWD is on.

Bombs are intended for big targets, they shouldn't be limited to that but the devs disagree with me. Anyways, you can always use a target painter. They help a lot with the torps too so should be a pretty standard item to fit on a bomber.

Edited by: Serra Polaris on 06/05/2009 01:06:31 I've never used bombs before but they always seemed like an interesting weapon type and bombing runs always sound pretty exciting. I don't see the logic behind bombs not affecting all targets equally regardless of their size within its area of effect though . Seems like they work more like a missile than a bomb to me.

Medium shield extender, 3x torp launcher, 1x bomb launcher, cloak, 2x target painter.

And I still want Bombs to work in lowsec so we can use the in FW. Throw one at the button and watch the orbiting ships go pop ///my vote is for sale, he who sends the most iskies gets it\\\ |

Haha, assuming that the pilot targets the bomb, and chooses to orbit it at 5km while MWD is on, then mayyyyyyybe you do have a chance. I would think the pilot has other issues than his MWD though.

The rate of fire needs to be adjusted. 1 / 1min+ is garbage. 1 / 15sec or less plz.
