With the deployable bombs coming out, i forsee a huge spike in cost of these stealth bombers...
After hearing testimony of how great this lil bastards are now, im investing in them now so im not paying 25 mill later on...
From what i hear, BC'c with great resist are hit for over 8k dmg.I cant wait for the new cov op gangs of the future...Ofcourse low sec gate camps might be to risky....
Can u imagine a fast moving fleet of stealth bombers through 0.0....

This is the first i hear of these deployable bombs. Can you link the thread mentioning these goodies, or would you be so nice to give us more info on these new weapons.
thank you Hells

Edited by: IHurricane on 30/05/2007 22:02:00 I'd advice you to go over your numbers agen, if you think a BC with good resist, will be hit for 8k of dmg.
Anyways, I am looking forward to play with those ships.

In response to that...CCP alreay said dmg depends on SIG RADIUS...So small ships can easily avoid being 1 shot...These bombs are meant for BC->Capital radius....A shuttle can tank 1 of these no problem, but a BC will see his shields +half his armor gone...

as u can see by the vid, your bomber is also small enough to drop a bomb and tackle the target....And survive...

Edited by: Zhaymus Hockhold on 30/05/2007 22:41:16 The bomb's 20 mil pricetag and 0.0 limitation is definetely going to make it a low sec pwnmobile, you are entirely right (and yes I know no one said that would be)
I dunno, it seems more like a tactic for alliance wars than pirating, but hey, I'm probably wrong.

I just can't see any good things in this new bomb.. They're gonna be annoing as ****, and they're gonna be a nerf to all the drone boats (many gallente ships) ..
I sincerely hope this doesnt make it to the revelations patch for god knows what reasons.. -

I don't see the use of bombs for pirating. Stealth bombers weren't cost effective already , and now each bomb costs 20m... there's no way you can make any profit using those. If anything , they will be used for gatecamp wrecking , but that's antipiracy.

0.0 Only would be ridiculous. Why make an Anti-blob weapon if you're going to limit it to a small portion of space. What about all the blobs (read, Gate camps) in Lowsec Empire? Why make an anti-blob weapon if you ignore the primary source of blobs. (Note the difference in a 100+ Man Fleet, and 15+ Man Blobs.)
Could you imagine how cheap Suicide Bombing a freighter in Jita could become if this gets widespread?

We'll see how it pans out I suppose. There's mention in the thread that the bombs are coming out pre-nerfed for fear of the effect they'll have on pvp in the TQ environment. I believe there's also a comment about the possibility of allowing ECM and cap drain bombs in empire space.

okay just a silly-assed idea that's not going to happen... why didn't they just give stealth bombers a range/ usage boost for smartbombs, say 20% boost to range/frig level and 7.5% boot to damage along with the 95-100% fitting cost reduction for smartbombs? or even covops cloak and medium bombs with those bonuses? it makes the thing into a stealth BOMBER.... eliminates the damned recalibration time problem, lets them warp in, position, set off a single alpha strike, then cloak and warp out.
maybe a firing rate drawback to keep people from just setting off smartbombs and leaving them on. they ALREADY HAVE the modules they need for this ship, i don't get why they won't use them.
I represent only my own views, they just happen to be the right ones. |

Happened already, 1 or 2 weeks ago. I have a Nemesis i purchased for about 5-6M about 9 months ago. Put in some buy orders at 8M in Essence as soon as i found out about the bombs. They're listed for 19M now...

the numbers are a little to high, at least mine eagle got hitted for some minor damage (like 200-500ish), the Rokh for about 1000-1300ish damage.
so as it is atm on the test-server, the damage-bombs are only useable to get ride of pesky drones.

How are they going to destroy hordes of drones? i thought the damage was dependant on Sig Radius? surely if not much damage is done to cruiser sized ships then drones will hardly be dented? I can see the possibility of a small gang of bombers killing plenty of fighters though.
The damage bombs also dont interest that me much, unless you have a large gang of bombers I dont see how they can be much more than an annoyance to BS's especially seeing as how the bombs can be destroyed easily and the ROF is so high.
What does interest me though is the energy neut bombs, i can see plenty of paralysed ships falling to these. Also I heard that these are Sig Radius dependant, anyone know if this true? ----- It was once claimed a thousand monkeys bashing on typewriter keyboards will, given enough time, produce the works of Shakespeare - Online Forums are proof this is B*****ks |

Since they're supposed to be impossible to target, they'll only be easily destroyed by smartbombs. As for the damage, the target they're claiming is 8k raw damage with max skills, modified by sig radius but not velocity.
Also, the game dev forum thread I linked a few replies up has a dev post specifically stating the energy bombs will _not_ be modified by sig radius. I cba to check, but I believe the number for them was something like 1.6k cap drained.

Well if they are designed as an anti blob weapon and most of the ridiculously sized blobs do operate in 0.0 then it makes sense to me.
I just hope they're careful with these things. they could really be annoying if they don't do them right and balanced. But, i shall place my trust in ccp as always and not complain until we see exactly how they are released.

At 20m each, it would take over 20 bombs to drop a freighter. That doesn't count the cost of replacing the cov ops ships. The same number of pilots in Domi's is cheaper. Cov ops ships do not enjoy the same level of insurance coverage. Sales: Capital Ships | Covetors Delivered - Bulk/Package/BYOM |

Cant suicide gank with them mate if they can only be used in 0.0
I can see how these would become extemley annoying for Carriers and such though, imagine 5 or so 20mil isk bombers decloaking nearby and flinging energy neut bombs at ya then re cloaking, you are unable to warp and in jumps the damage dealers, then the only defence you have at 20mil a pop are destroyed as the bombers uncloak again and fling damage bombs at your fighters. Of course this might be complete tosh and as someone said they can be destroyed by SB's, HACs and BC's are still gonna be rendered useless against them if the energy neuts aren't Sig Radius dependant. ----- It was once claimed a thousand monkeys bashing on typewriter keyboards will, given enough time, produce the works of Shakespeare - Online Forums are proof this is B*****ks |

They are 0.0. only but the damage is emense, they have a 10sec timer on which would give anything less than a bc plenty of time to get away, also you'd have to have a mwd fitted or deploy the bomb whilst moving & aloigned to a warp out point or you'll blow yourself up with your own bomb as it has a 15k range on it.
had a good play with one yesterday & i'll definatly invest in one as a gang stumbling accross a gate camp would be funny, but like i said anything less than a bc should get away aslong as it isn't webbed or scrammed & you have to make sure your out of the way when it goes or so will your bomber

10 stealthbombers vs blob
nuke them with a variety of different dmg. Drop some ECM and some CAP eating bombs also.
Blob of BC-BS = dead.
Thx CCP :) Now we gonna see even more blobs b/c a fleet of stealthbombs with bombs is STILL a lot cheaper than a fleet of BC/BS...
How about big ships get new guns to hit smaller ships? ______

Not true. You can easily tank your own bombs to not even break your shields. (If your shield tanking) You know which damage type the bomb is going to do - your opponents don't. Say your using Kinetic Bombs, stack up as much Kinetic resistance as possible and the bomb will barely scratch you. (I saw a video of a Manticore letting his own bomb hit him, and bringing his shields from 100% to maybe 60% at most.)

ok well i actually tested it so i know how it works & also why would you be tanking in a bomber? just fit a mwd & leg it or align to a warp out point it's not exactly hard & you don't waste midslots

Of course deploying the bomb then an interdictor sphere on the other side of a gate would be entertaining. You'd need a scout on the otherside.
