Silverlancer	Posted - 2004.03.03 09:30:00 - [1] Don't you hate it when you're fighting NPC rats... and while you kill the bigger ones, the smaller ones manage to speed at right up to you, so close your turrets track too slow to hit them? Equip a smartbomb. If you're in a cruiser... just use a small one, its enough, hardly uses any CPU or grid. Put it on autorepeat, and when the rats get too close, just activate it. It won't do much, but usually the rats are faster than you... and lock range guns can't track for crap...

NajZero	Posted - 2004.03.03 10:03:00 - [3] I have fitted for BIG NPC Rat hunting in my Raven 4 x MegaBeamLaser 4 x Medium Smartbombs and of course, tank fitting. If some Pirates coming close i bomb them into pcs.
Ophielle	Posted - 2004.03.03 14:08:00 - [4] Smart bombs are nice until you kill everyone around you with a rong click ;) Ophielle CEO
Synapse	Posted - 2004.03.03 14:55:00 - [5] Large smart bombs are also ace for killing pods and frigates - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - In a future where freedom is outlawed, outlaws will become heros
Randuin MaraL	Posted - 2004.03.03 15:24:00 - [6] Very useful against stations and sentry guns, I must say. And no mercy for pods and loot containers! ____________________________________________________ Never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die.

Dirtball	Posted - 2004.03.03 16:55:00 - [7] A tip for anyone new people out there, if you have afterburners or mwds in your first and second medium slots put your smartbombs in your high slots that are not the first and second ones. If you don't use AltF1 while traveling though you don't have to worry about it.
Ukiah	Posted - 2004.03.03 17:51:00 - [8] Edited by: Ukiah on 04/03/2004 06:00:12 I'm still waiting to hear how this is a new way to use smartbombs
Dirus	Posted - 2004.03.03 18:28:00 - [9] Nothing new about this. Most people dont use it, as its far less effective than using med/small blasters for frigates. It also tends to destroy loot cans, which defeats the purpose of NPC hunting. Effective way to kill those pesky frigs: blasters or webbers. double-web them and even a 1400mm can hit them. ********** Everyone deserves to die. You go first.
Mrissa Easeah	Posted - 2004.03.03 18:44:00 - [10] Webbers are effective, but a whole different slot tactic. Gallente ships don't have the midslots to spare, but often have 1 or 2 high slots and not enough power or CPU to put another of their 'big guns' in. Smart bombs don't need a roll 'to hit'. Despite their name, they're a fairly no brainer to kill with. Takes brains, (or at least paying attention) to -selectively- kill with them and not bring concord down on you for 'bombing a fellow traveller, neutral drone, can or other property.
Pojo	Posted - 2004.03.03 21:05:00 - [11] The real use for smart bombs is killing pods, havent checked lately but earlier there would be no big hit for killing a pod if you used a smart bomb. "Caldari capacity for good is only exceeded by our capacity for evil"
Dirus	Posted - 2004.03.03 22:43:00 - [12] The only truly unique way Ive seen a smartbomb used was on a Raven that was trying to kill frigates that were warping to a gate. Setting off 4-5 large smartbombs will kill any frig instantly, without needing a target lock (and yes, they tried to use it against me, hehehe) ********** Everyone deserves to die. You go first.
Jequan	Posted - 2004.03.03 23:21:00 - [13] Also useful for masskilling in Yulai it seems.
HavokTBP	Posted - 2004.03.04 02:33:00 - [14] Just shoot the small ones at a far distance first, they cause more problems anyways. Member of the Curse Alliance before the Corruption Leader of The Black Plague.
NoNamium	Posted - 2004.03.04 08:53:00 - [15] I'm not the biggest PvP player, but could you effectively fit an Apocalypse with 8 large smartbombs(2 of each) and 2 MWD's, keep distance at 50m and PvP that way... I'm sure it would be fun when cloaking arrives. The Idea is that you should kill ALL missiles if you activate the smartboms with even intervals and at that close range you should be hard to hit with large turrets. Also, no targeting required and you should be pealing 200-450 points of damage away from the opponent every 1.5-2 secs. Don't know if it's sustainable, haven't done the math. any comments? (flame away :)

Vanishing Lex	Posted - 2004.03.08 16:27:00 - [18] Medium smartbombs anyone? I cant find them on the market anywhere - even with it set up as active items only not checked. I sure would like to buy them but can't. Please someone enlighten me. --------------------------------- Cogito ergo sum. I think therefore I am. Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum.

Arkazon	Posted - 2004.03.08 19:33:00 - [19] medium smartbombs drop as npc loot ------- I'm not stupid, i'm just confused
Dirus	Posted - 2004.03.08 20:58:00 - [20] Medium smartbombs are bugged and cant be sold on market. Seems like the devs forgot about meds, and only have micro,small,large smartbombs available on market. ********** Everyone deserves to die. You go first.
