Player Features and Ideas Discussion

As I floated aimlessly in my experimental research lab in the depths of space, and 3 days left until my next shipment of exotic dancers and sustenance from my sponsor I had an epiphany that I can only hope my masters find economical and applicable...

Experimental Bombs Fired from an average Bomb Launcher containing variable payloads!

1 - Warp Disruption Bomb - An ordinary Bomb with the exception that instead of delivering an explosive payload, it delivers a fully functional warp disruption probe. It would activate at the same time as a normal bomb would become active. I can only hope that fears of making the fearless interceptor pilots obsolete does not prove to be the undoing of a stroke genius.

2 - Bomb Web - Unusual and experimental electronic warfare probe which creates a stasis webbifying effect in a radius of 15km from the point of the probes activation. This could slow down a portion of a fleet for a period of time, causing unknown chaos. Do to complex electronics, these bombs are the size of two regular bombs.

[b]3 - [removed because it already existed]

This seems like fun doesn't it?

An organized bomber fleet using a combination of those could easily shut down an entire fleet at no risk to themselves. Terrible idea.

lol oh yeah I forgot about that... Damn i hate it when I invent things that already exist!



And entire gang fit with bombs can effectively shut down a fleet. You obviously haven't seen bombers being used in large scale. Bombers do take a risk as soon as they decloak, no matter what they're shooting at you. I think a more valid concern is the fact that it may take away from interdictor pilots but, in a sense, interdictor pilots have a little more survivability and they still could do thinks bombers can't do; especially the main job they have which is given away by the Caldari interdictor's name, "Flycatcher", which is to intercept small targets.
