I noticed today that it seems smart bombs of the same meta level but different damage types differ strongly in range and damage, but continue to have very similar cap cost and cycle times. Anyone got a reasonable explanation?

faction smartbombs are kinda weird. the more capacitor they use the less damage they do

t2 are all the same.

Because CCP

honestly they need a rebalance and put on equal footing, as everyone uses EM Smartbombs for range usually

This is true for allot of deadspace and faction modules and brings variety to the game.

Ah, but if it is purely variety for varieties sake, this is ungood. I am all for the short ranged ones doing better damage, or using less cap, or the high damage ones using more cap, or having higher fitting requirements. But when the only thing you get for lowered DPS and lower range is a different flavor, thats just an imbalance in this sort of weapon.
