It's not like there is already no real stealth for these things, they show up in local after all.

So on top of the inherent nerf built in you'd like to remove their entire reason for existing?

Interesting.

Mr Epeen Cool


Speaking of stealth... we could introduce stealth blankets which we could cover afk players with to immediately cloak and disable any cycles they are running... Big smile

No to the OP. In fact, you should be able to put a bomb in the hold of a rookie frigate and suicide detonate it.
Also, make this forum suck less on a phone, ffs.

God, yes! I was so excited after running those two trainer missions that let you ram (and blow up!) things using a ship, and probably for the first two weeks of my time, I was afraid of getting too close to structures, lest I lose my ship to YASD, but ALAS! such was not to be.

CCP! Let us ram and suicide into other ships! Think of the emergent gameplay that could be born of this! Especially if we could send drones on a suicide bombing run... So many possibilities!

Sure. Lot's of fun until you realize that bumping an Exhumer with your Catalist accomplishes nothing but watching your Cat disappear in a puff of smoke while giving the miner a laugh and a kill right to sell on you.

Come to think of it, I kind of like the idea. I haven't seen any good ganker tears in a while now.

We could get in someone's ship and then use a guy's own ship to smash his pod against the station. Big smile

Actually, CCP should make "bombs" workable in Low and High Sec.... huge fun to be had... ganking would be immediately "cool" again in oh so many ways. Pirate

If I can suicide a Bestower full of shrapnel bombs, I don't think the tears will be gankers'. Also this should work on structures, too.

Related to that...

A large well-loved alliance such as Goonswarm could jetcan thousands of bombs in Jita next summer. Then a brave hero could launch one into the cluster **** to set off a chain reaction. We could call it.... Burn Jita.

The chance of CCP making a mechanic to blow up a full hold of ammo in a single shot is close to none. Something remotly close is allow you to set the travel time of your bombs from 0 to whatever the max range is is something that has much more chance of happening.

Well yeah but I think the fun would kind of die out after a while. I'm trying to think a bit longer term here...

Should go big and go with a Cal freighter V pilot in a charon full of bombs if you really want a big explosion.

Re-design the Naga so it can fit 8 bomb launchers instead of hybrids. You know you want it. Twisted

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

That's why you need to vote for Erotica 1 for the next CSM, so stuff gets done.
