How about this?
2 Types.
One that does half damage but 2x explosion velocity for small ships
Other Does 2x Damage but useful only against capitals.

This idea makes a lot of sense.
It would give me a reason to train T2 bombs at least. Who uses lockbreaker bombs anyway. How much herp could a herp derp derp if a herp derp could herp derp. |

I approve of this product and/or service. More useful bombs are always good. |

I'm not a bomber so I really can't speak as to whether or not these are OP or not, but if it's a suggestion that gives more tools to kill caps and supercaps then I'll throw my support behind it until someone shows that it's a bad idea or that it wouldn't work.

And let me fit two of T2 launchers :> You still wouldn't be able to instagib anyone, but you could have fun with just a few friends who took the time to train for it. |

I would prefer something like an AC20 from mechwarrior
It fires a couple of lower damage projectiles with a very small explosion radius. Used against a cruiser a few direct hits would kill it outright and probably the pod as well.
Of course staying aligned and uncloaked long enough to pull it off is another story.. Click here for LP store weapon cost rebalancing |

I could get behind this as it fits with choice and consequence along with balance. Nice one OP. Fast Character Switching "XP Stylee" Undocking - More Routes Out of Station Here's my tear jar > |_| < Fill 'er up! |

yahh currently afaik the t2 bomb launcher is the only t2 weapon system that doesnt have ANY t2 ammo, the prerequisites for using a t2 bomb launcher currently are not worth the training for the bonus it gives you.
DeDes's ideas are pretty cool!
half the damage (and therefore half the ehp of trad bombs), i think reduced explosion radius (not velocity) would apply better and easier. however hitting smaller fast targets is much harder because of bombs slow speed so something like this would have to have a pretty decent speed.
a more anti capital bomb would have to use explosion radius to scale damage away from subcaps so that theyre not used as a de-facto bomb against all. 3km explosion radius would do it and therefore BS sized sigs will only receive 1/6th the damage of those bombs, ahacs would recieve only 1/24th the damage for example so it scales quite well. |

Really like this idea. +1
Would add more flavour to choosing the right bomb for the right situation. |

Unlike most missiles, a bomb's damage is independent of the target's velocity. Only a target's sig radius matters.
If you halve the damage (up to 4k instead of 8k) and halve the explosion radius (200 instead of 400), nothing changes.
With a 40m sig radius, a regular bomb deals 8k * 40/400 == 800 damage from a single bomb. With a 40m sig radius, the "halved" bomb deals 4k * 40/200 == 800 damage from a single bomb.
The problem is, anything that would deal more "damage" to a smaller target will simply be superior to use when the sig radius of your target is smaller than the bomb's explosion radius. You need a different "drawback" to distinguish it.
Potential examples: Reduce the "optimal range" from 15 km's to 7.5 km's. Increase the flight time, but decrease the flight speed (takes 15s to detonate at 30 km's away instead of 10s). Alternatively, if this is a t2 bomb that requires a t2 bomb launcher, just decrease the "explosion radius" by an even 10% and you do more damage to small targets but the same damage to normal targets.

It could keep current specs to be honest and just replace his velocity with your radius. Not seeing it op then tbh. 10% radius is not game breaking with current bomb. those who spam the mwd when they see bomb released get hurt more but....they should know by now not to do that. If they haven't this will teach them faster lol. Seen many people assisted suicide because sig bloom of mwd is what killed them, they would have lived albeit banged up a bit with no mwd spam.
Also gives the capital kiler aspect as we can assume they will have the fattest sigs in the blast zone.
Bomb kind of needs to keep its range given its not a precise weapon. Flight time needs to be the same as when tidi acts up bombs time and distance numbers can get screwy. At least I have seen bombs get unpredictale quickly when the lag monster shows up.
but something would be nice in this area either way. the bene's of max bomb skill to get the t2 launcher jsut not awe inspiring really. Nice we get something but be nice to have more given its a level 5 train that is rather limited in use. |

And call them anty capital torpedoes. You can fit 5 to your bomb launcher , and they are launched every 25s. |

Stay uncloaked and out of warp for more than a second and someone will me more than happy to show you just how "OP" you are in a bomber.
Even bombs themselves are pretty killable, put an EMP smart bomb in one of those utility highs CCP was kind enough to give you. |

Since cloak changes and when TiDi kicks in its simple as f**ck. Not that much of skills needed to make a good bomb run. |

Doing bombing runs on capitals and structures is typically a useless endeavor, that is what torps are for...
