Edited by: Zandra Bran on 20/02/2009 23:13:50 A very simple thing that will allow bombs to be used skillfully, is to allow bombs to hit ships when they explode that are in range of the explosion and out of warp but which were not there when the bomb was launched. I've noticed this mechanism in testing and if it was fixed to what I propose bombs will finally have a decent place in EVE, I promise.
It only makes sense that a ship gets hit from a bomb that explodes right next to it, what difference should it make if it wasn't there when it was launched.

Definitely a step in the right direction towards fixing bombs.

Originally by: Zandra Bran Edit: I would also like to know if this is a bug or it was intended this way.
Have you tried filing a bug report?

Edited by: William Hart on 21/02/2009 06:06:37 This sounds like a bug, but it could also be that your bombs are going off before the player has dropped out of warp and became vulnerable (ever notice you can't lock people who drop out of warp for a few seconds, or until they do something)..
But yeah, boost bombs!

Yes, I filed a bug report no response yet. And I did not notice on any known bug lists, I thought they might have it intended but it could be a result of the timing between the module activation and the aoe effect. Smartbombs activate instantly and I was pretty sure they could hit people in warp, at least so I have heard.
I did a lot of testing on the test realm a bit ago, to test the viability of bombs, and it doesn't look like they have fixed it from the patch notes since then.
During the test I asked them if they were out of warp when the bomb exploded and they would say yes, and during numerous tries I came to the conclusion that I could only hit them if I launched it right as they were loading on the grid.
I will try to setup tests on Tranquility and report back with a more detailed results.

If this is happening it needs to be fixed.

Bombs have so many stupid interactions at present. If this is one of them, it ought to be fixed. ----------- Herschel's Cruiser BPC Store |
