So I was thinking about yet another module that probably isn't used on more than 2 or 3 ships throughout the galaxy: the micro smartbomb
Why would anyone use this module? With the tiny radius all it might be good for is drone defense. But with the RMR drone changes 25 dmg sure don't do more then tickling the drones.
If there is indeed a use for them that I don't see, please, be so kind and enlighten me.
What could be done to make these little buggers more useful?
How about.. turn them into a device to find and uncloak cloaked ships. By giving them a much larger range and alot less damage.
Looking at the real world and how submarines are eliminated, destroyers seem to be the ship for the job. Coincidentally the EVE destroyers could use some kind of boost/role as they're not widely used from my observations.
Here is my idea:
Limit Micro Smartbombs to Destroyers (both t1 and t2)
Increase Micro Smartbomb range to 10km
Decrease damage to 1 (or better 0, to give interdictors a use in empire. of course 0 dmg should still uncloak cloaked ships)
Fitting reqs to be adjusted if needed
That in my opinion would make for some fun ships and tactics, also for new players and finally a way to find cloaked ships.
Looking forward to comments regarding this idea.
P.S. Features and Ideas lab? No.

Sounds interesting, can def do with some looking at. i like the idea of there being some way to find cloaked ships, although i think the range should be somewhat limited.

Good idea . . .
I was thinking about something similar except that there should be specialized ships. The ships would do what you suggest, reduce damage and increase range.
Another option would be a "smart bomb like" device with a wide range that will auto target any cloaked ships that it hits. This would give the ship a lock and the ability to fire on the cloaked vessel.
It would create a new Hunter/Killer class of ships. If that was around ya can be a bit more justified with allowing cloaked vessels to passively target and scan ships while they are cloaked (which would help with obtaining fleet intelligence).
Some sort of change is needed. As you said, the mod is pretty . . .

There are anti-cloaking modules in the DB, have been for quite a while
'Voila' Anti-Cloaking Pulse I is one of them.
