Smart bombs in high sec question

A few things:

Yes you can smartbomb without getting Concorded in hi-sec.
You are required to turn your safeties off to do so.
You don't want any object that isn't an NPC pirate ship in range when you do.
Concord flags some weird objects, and you can't always know which is which.
As mentioned, a **** cloaker could tail you in the hopes that you SB him and get dokken'd, but... you could also have an aneurysm and die at your keyboard.

That being said: I wouldn't. I've done it in the past against those destructible battlestations some missions want you to take down. I didn't want to waste ammo, or wait for drones to chew it down, so I came back with my mission ship strapped with SBs, parked next to it and let them rip. It worked, but I was constantly worried that something would go wrong and my nice shiny ship would get blown up by the cops. Not worth it.

Train up your drone skills, kill the frigs as they burn toward you, fit an MJD, a target painter, web, anything. There are many far better ways to kill frigs that don't risk you losing your ship.

Hi guys,
Since I almost lose my battleship from 10 or more frigates in high sec I would like to ask how you can use those smart bombs everyone's say?


So 10-20 frigates were almost able to take down your battleship?

Please post your fit so people may give you some ideas on how to improve your tank.

+1

When properly tanked with rat-specific hardners, you should easily be able to tank mission rats. If you show us what you're flying, we might be able to help you deal with these little buggers more effectively.

By 10 or more Frigates, you mean 4 Gank BC's?

First off... Damn Bro... All that bling and only a baby tank!!!!


Smart Bombs would not have helped in this situation. As others have said, don't use them in High Sec. It's suicide. Throw on more tank if you're going to use such expensive modules. You don't really need to instapop in missions and, Eve being Eve, nothing tastes better than Bling & Tears.

4-6 Gank Tornados will probably pop any PVE fitting mission ship. The counter to this is to watch what's around you and don't always go for bling fits. T2 works most of the time.

Ugh that ship was a mercy kill.
Deadspace invuln.. Not only overpriced but garbage omni tank. Should have used specific T2 hardeners
Faction guns... Adds to the gank and T2 would work just as good
Cheap T1 tracking computer and afterburner... Really? Didn't have enough ISK for T2 after buying the invuln?

If I use them after I have warped through a mission acceleration gate will concord kill me?

Do I lose standing or something?

Since in overview I can't see near concord ship will I still die?

Is it a clever idea to use them in ship that has one free high slot in high sec?

Thank you



You will be instantly melted by CONCORD if you use any bomb in highsec, for any reason.

Use in nullsec only.



This quote is either BLATANTLY, INTENTIONALLY FALSE, or the poster is just plain ignorant of the facts.

1. BOMBS can't be used in high sec. They won't go off, you can't launch them.
2. SMARTbombs are very much usable in high sec; I used them several times when I need to grind L1's for a couple alts to get their standing up enough to better agents. Never got CONCORDed once, and I OFTEN set them off within range of deadspace structures. And NO, I never set them off with other people around.
3. If you *DO* set one off in high sec with INNOCENTS (ie, non-aggressors) around and they are hit, you will get CONCORDed.
