Could open up intersting usage to bust up blobs, or at least require that some thought go into spacing a blob and keeping all the ships in motion so that a series of bombs wouldn't take it out.
On EFT a Raven with 6x Bomb Launchers would have an alpha strike of 38K, with max skills. And they require real player skill to deploy.
Would require some tweaks to the numbers, to ensure that 1 such raven wouldn't instapop any moderately tanked ship class that had some velocity, but do some significant level of damage (like 1/3 of total for 6 well placed bombs).
Bomb costs should go down pretty dramatically as well, maybe around 2M a piece. Those a bomb equipped raven would be a 1 trick pony, and cost 12M a salvo

Yes. Lets make the Raven MORE overpowered.

PvPers always say "GB2WoW". the message is that EVE is hard, and people just need to deal with it. wasn't it funny how when nano's started making it hard for *them*, that all went out the window? |

this is almost 'bio worthy'
terrible idea (not because of the raven being in the blast radius, that can be 'worked around' like smart bombs), but the ammount of damage output is greater than Artillery based ships.

Damage bombs have resists only of the same damage type. I hear that they can only take 3 bomb blasts as well.

theres another thing OP has failed to consider: the sheer cost.
a bomb costs about 17 mil last i checked. each bomb launcher can hold two bombs. you can fit 6 on a raven. a single clip would cost 204,000,000. why not buy another two ravens?

Alpha damage is certainly higher, but bombs have a significant reactivation delay so DPS is pathetic and the blast radius is really small (explosion radius 400, falloff 1500) and as I understand bombs are launched manually so its hard to optimize. Such a ship would really only we a bomb delivery device, and the dps would be pathetic.

Actually it only takes toon with good learning skills/implants about 2 weeks to get into a raven that would be able to fit bomb launchers, so anyone could fly. So i'd say that this might be a feature better found on a black ops ship just so its not every noob doing it

that i might approve of. a two, maybe three launcher black ops. thats enough to insta-pop an enemy mining op, and i can see serious merit in that.
