I was wondering how exactly the range of a smartbomb is calculated. Obviously each smartbomb has a range stat, but I'm thinking it must be modified by sig radius or something. For example, if a titan pulses a large smartbomb it will cover a larger "area" in space than a cruiser with the same smartbomb.
I assume this is due to sig radius. If I were to take a guess at how it works, smartbomb range actually starts at the edge of the magical sig radius sphere, so the larger the sig radius of the ship lighting the smartbomb, the more cubic meters of actual space are hit by smartbomb damage.
If it is actually based on sig radius, does the range adjust based on sig radius modifiers? Will a discophoon with large shield extenders cover more area than a normal typhoon? What about a discophoon with a perma running MWD?

Sig radius has nothing to do with it.
It is relative to your distance from the ship equipping them, as seen on the overview.
For ships like Titans I believe it is based on the distance from the ship model (or some defined 'model radius' rather than from the ships central point. I don't fly titans and haven't been able to find conclusive evidence of this but there is definitely some modifier involved. ~~~

Na sig radius has absolutely flap all to do with it. It's all down to 'distance from x' that you see. If a smart bomb puts out 300 damage, it will inflict 300 damage onto a frigate or a titan equally.
Real bombs from a SB are sig radius dependant on applying damage though.
But in terms of a titan covering more area than say a BS, well the titan is larger, so the area it has at 0 meters is bigger |

All ships in eve has 2 size attributes. Sig radius as mentioned above which is used for things like locking and tracking and stuff. And then there is the physical size. This is used for 2 things, bumping and smartbomb range. |
