Deploy-able drones that are solely for industrial defense
concept: white a full flight is deployed, if struck by a bomb... ship becomes invulnerable to bombs for 5 seconds at the end of which the drones are consumed and blow up
reason: you don't need bombs to blow up industrial ships and they are OP when used to do so, torps work just fine
They over load their shields to spear head the explosions which essentially negate the bomb damaging effects, the drone doesn't survive the overloading process and ruptures from excessive energy use burning out every possible system |

Show me the lossmail. I'm guessing you got bombed by someone camping a jumpbridge?
Also, don't forget, none of the industrials actually have dronebays. |

"Industrial defense" can also apply to mining ops. It just sounds prettier.
What I want to know is why the OP thinks that time manipulation drones are such a good idea. If the drones don't shield your mining op until the bomb goes off then the damage is already done and the shield only protects against following bombs, but as described it protects ships from the initial bomb which means rolling back time so that the blast wave/explosion never actually damaged anything and so that, in effect, the shield is created before the explosion happens.
Well, either time manipulating drones or prescient drones I suppose. Either way I'd love to know what in-game justification the OP would like to use to explain it. |

I actually came here expecting some form of anti-missile system, like tiny drones that you can launch to intercept missiles.
Plus, if you are in a situation where your industrial can be bombed, then something wrong has gone on in your situation preparations. |

Further, the vast majority of industrials are far too large for 5 drones to absorb a full bomb for. That missile interception sounds interesting though. The Law is a point of View |

What does OP mean as your refering
It doesn't seem to mean over powered or operation
Sorry for the miss wording, the intent was that the first bomb and all others 5 seconds preceding it would not damage the craft
...if an industrial ship can't flight drones... tough luck |

Not a good idea. Shield bubble drones... that only protect the initial blast... makes it so a flight of interceptors and a Heavy captor can bubble you and then the bomber WING can come in and do what they came to do... your anti-bomb shield that only works for one bomb means I can have one bomber drop one bomb and blow your nifty shield apart, then have my bomber wing 5 seconds behind his launch and drop 50 bombs on top of your now unprotected head... IOW... useless in combat.
If you want protection then try...
... parasite pods.
Launched from your cargo bay, using your jettison system, much like a container or POS gun; you jettison one, set it up, it has 20 heavy assault missiles, you have a semi-mobile missile battery. To reload, you must get within 2500 meters, and it takes 30 seconds to reload it.
Simple as that. |

No you can't. You can drop eight or they'll blow eachother up.
The effect is the same though |

So you're saying that a bombing run should equal a free warpout for your mining op?
Howsabout no. Learn to pay attention while you're in 0.0 and hanging out without friends to help keep you alive. (Also, you have 10s to get away from a bomb before it explodes. Use that time.) This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.
