Arian Snow Minmatar Megalomaniacs at Arms	Posted - 2006.10.13 01:47:00 - [1] Okay in the torp description its stated that torps have no guidance system ... and yet they have no problem hitting a frig orbiting you at 400m/s ... So why dont you make some real torps... dumb giant warheads you launch into space which blows near the target(s) and causes damage like smartbombs...? That would be pretty neato... You want to solve the issue of fleetcombat where ships are in close cropped groups... they would be a nice answer... I dont remember I dont recall I dont have memory of anything at all!

And they only hit frigs for what, 5 damage? Save Low-sec
Avoid Gallente Omniscient Order	Posted - 2006.10.13 02:15:00 - [3] It was abit like that whit torps 2 years ago. nice until you got ganked by concord for doing splash damage on smtg random. Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content - Cortes "Here was the brand of the cigerates i smoke" I don't smoke - Cortes
Arian Snow Minmatar Megalomaniacs at Arms	Posted - 2006.10.13 02:20:00 - [4] Well they should be powerful and dangerous to use in Empire... they should have their own launcher type. Not like the ones two years ago! I dont remember I dont recall I dont have memory of anything at all!
Noriath	Posted - 2006.10.13 02:25:00 - [5] I would LOVE to see a weapon like this in general, something that just fires straight forward into whichever direction your ship is facing so you aim it by aligning...

Then you would never, ever hit anything with them, unless you fired at point-blank range. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language." --Daitan Beringe, honorary director in charge of bottles--
Rafein Eye of God Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.10.13 17:42:00 - [8] Originally by: Beringe Originally by: Noriath I would LOVE to see a weapon like this in general, something that just fires straight forward into whichever direction your ship is facing so you aim it by aligning... Then you would never, ever hit anything with them, unless you fired at point-blank range. And then the splash would hit you too. Personally, if they ever created a weapon like this, I would have a blast getting an intercepter, and getting right in front of him, 1 KM away, and trying to stay there. With the Inties small sig it could kill a Raven without ever firing a shot. Let the Raven kill itself with it's splash damage.
Noriath	Posted - 2006.10.13 17:45:00 - [9] I don't think it would be impossible to hit something with them, they would datonate as soon as something comes within a 1-2km radius of the warhead, and if you just lob like 50 of those in the direction of a blob there will be pain...

You want to solve the issue of fleetcombat where ships are in close cropped groups... they would be a nice answer... Torps used to explode like this. It resulted in massive amounts of concordokkens in empire, thus was taken out. Ahh the days when you could take out a whole group of tightly clustered frigs with a spread of torps. This signature space for rent
LaCoHa Caldari Deep Space Navy Caldari Deep Space Industral	Posted - 2006.10.13 18:03:00 - [11] I LOVE this idea. Perhaps some tracking... but easily avoidable by smaller ships who are paying attention (which they never are) Just about insta pops frigs not paying attention and does about 500 damage within 3k. Slow, and easy to avoid, but very painful if used right (which would be hard to do)
Android Mindslave Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2006.10.13 18:04:00 - [12] Right. Then I guess smartbombs need to be removed from the game stat. Just because you can't use it in high-sec does mean a weapon is fundamentally flawed.
Ranger 1 Amarr Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.10.13 19:28:00 - [13] Smart bombs might as well be removed... as it is they are very, very rarely used even in 0.0.
St'oto Wings of Turul Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.10.14 20:47:00 - [14] Edited by: St''oto on 14/10/2006 20:52:02 Edited by: St''oto on 14/10/2006 20:50:33 Edited by: St''oto on 14/10/2006 20:47:26 Originally by: Ranger 1 Smart bombs might as well be removed... as it is they are very, very rarely used even in 0.0. But still useful against interceptor gangs :)
Noriath	Posted - 2006.10.14 21:02:00 - [15] Smartbombs are not useful because ship movement in Eve is entirely too slow compared to the rate at which ships die and the range of weapons. It's just not like a smartbomb-ship would ever manage to fly into an enemy blob without being either nuked first or the enemies warping off...
