I think this is pretty straightforward. Bombs are still pretty much a waste of time and are not getting used other than on an experimental basis (and failing).
I would suggest that they need a substantial increase in damage.
In addition the bomb deployer is too vunerable (to getting blown up by his own or his gangs bombs) and needs some kind of protection. Not sure how this would work but I think it merits a healthy discussion. Dropping a bomb should not be suicide. |

Originally by: Ulstan Stealth bombers using actual bombs seems to be one of those things that just doesn't really click yet.
It could be the big expensive of Bombs. I'd lower that some more before actually making bombs powerful.
Cost is not relevant tbh - I have actively field tested them. They suck.
The velocity issue seems to be a good start, but even taking into account that the current damage still does not merit deployment. Just do the maths and work out how many are needed to take out a reasably well tanked fleet and that all bombs need to be dropped with utter precision. |

Originally by: lecrotta Edited by: lecrotta on 08/06/2008 22:09:25 What would be the point of flying anything but a bomber if bombs could not be out run or avoided?
That is not what I suggested.
The issue with bombs is that they are currently utterly useless, and are not used at all.
Bombs, in theory, should be another good tool for breaking up BC/BS blobs, but sadly they would never pose a threat in their current forum.
I presume CCP wanted these things to be useful and if so they need some boost, but of course not an i-win-button.
For the record I have field tested them many times and have also had them used against me.
