Well.....I can read OK. And I'm reading that these many types of smartbombs I've been collecting in loot piles "cause damage (different types) to surrounding ships", and that the effective distance varies amongst the different types...I currently have 6 different types.
Anyway: here's the question I hope to get an answer to from someone who already knows.....
Do Smartbombs "cause damage" only to ships? Or, if they were floating outside my ship, would they cause any damage to a missile fired at me by a Rat?
That's the question. Thanks very, very much (in advance).

As far as i know, they'll damage anything short of a planet (and maybe asteroids). Ships, missiles (hard to time right, but it is possible) cargo cans, pods, stations and stargates (don't try the last two unless you want to get nuked by the concord and/or the sentries).

Smartbombs are reusable, high slot modules that generate a pulse effect around the ship they're equipped on.
They will damage *all* objects within their radius of your ship. This includes, but is not limited to, containers (secure and otherwise), stations, gates, missiles, and ships.
Note that all of those, except missiles, will generate a "Summon CONCORD and get ganked" effect directed at your ship, should you be in 0.5 or greater security areas.
Nice missile defense, but must be used with care. Rigging a punisher with MWD, blasters, and smartbombs, is not a good idea. (Not that I've tried this, you understand...... *sigh*)

Smartbombs are "area of effect" weapons, and don't need targetting. With Lvl 1 Energy Pulse Weapons, they fire every 9.5secs, and anything in the blast radius is hit for the amount of damage listed on the Smartbomb. Named and Tech II versions of most Smartbombs are available which vary in damage and/or fittings, but not range. (Micro = 2km, Small = 3km, Medium = 4km, Large = 5km).
Everything in range of the blast is hit, including Stargates, Stations and other people's secure containers, so make sure never to activate one in 0.5 space or higher anywhere near one of the above. Missiles caught in the blast are also destroyed very fast...so having two Smartbombs, set to Autorepeat for example, firing every 4-5 seconds make for a very effective Anti-Missile and Anti-Drone protection

from the patch notes for patch that should be out next week I think.
"Smartbombs now only do damage to drones, ships, missiles and pods. They do not damage items that you, your corporation members, or your gang members own, nor will they damage containers, stations or jumpgates. "
so next week thats the damage they will do, at the momant though they basically damage everything.

I lost dominix last week because I 'was aggressive' to a secure can with my smart bomb. Warped to gate and was wasted by sentrys.
Smart bombs still damage loot cans / secure cans.
IMHO the secure can damage needs removing as I've lost so much security status from this.

I lost 0.5 sec status 2 nights ago from a secure can hit and had to wait for 15 mins to lose criminal flag...... No patches have been released since then.

 Thanks very, very much BigJim, ActiveX, Krendig, KingsGambit and sableye. I knew I could get the expert answers here!
Sounds like many of those expert answers came from previously "un-expert" experience....learning the HARD WAY! I appreciate your sharing.....
So thanks very much. I shall begin experimenting "MY" learning experience later today...hopefully WITHOUT altering the shell make-up of my beloved Scorpion.
