ReptilesBlade KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 49	Posted - 2015.03.10 04:59:48 - [1] - Quote So I am a complete newb to PVP in Eve attempting to learn. I was playing with my bomber against some rats. I wanted to see if the ship would fire a bomb without needing to be locked onto the target. I pointed my ship towards the target and fired. Completely forgetting my MWD was on... My thought process literally went like this. fires bomb "It worked!" "My bomb is only 9m away." "Wait. Why is my bomb still only 9m away from my ship?" "Oh ***! Abort! Abort!" BOOM!* https://zkillboard.com/kill/45148984/

Scipio Artelius The Vendunari End of Life 34630	Posted - 2015.03.10 05:11:14 - [3] - Quote I think there was an old adage that you aren't real bomber pilot until you've managed to bomb yourself. Did you manage the kill the rats? Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Why, if it prospers, none dare call it "treason."

And yes, I've bombed myself too
Tuttomenui II Aliastra Gallente Federation 243	Posted - 2015.03.10 11:07:10 - [15] - Quote I've done this. But the rat got credit and all he did was miss me. I edited him out and make me the killer but the kill board I put it on deleted it when I plugged in my api. This was back when kill mails were all text. I think 90% of people manage to kill them selves with the first bomb they ever use.

Kiandoshia Applied Anarchy SpaceMonkey's Alliance 2227	Posted - 2015.03.10 13:59:14 - [22] - Quote I blew myself up with my own bomb before but it didn't generate a killmail. Doesn't it do that when you are the only thing that is on your own (hypothetical) KM? Anyways, no, you are not the only one and yes, it worked :D
stoicfaux 5503	Posted - 2015.03.10 14:09:07 - [23] - Quote Leannor wrote: stoicfaux wrote: Can you lock onto a bomb and web it? even if you could, webbers are , what, 10km range? ... OP said this "My bomb is only 9m away." Also, you can use faction webbers to get more than 10km range. Also, there are some ships with range bonuses to webs, so if they could lock onto an incoming bomb and web it...
