EVE General Discussion

Die and sell kill rights to mercenaries. Or someone looking for cheap fun.

Post in various public channels, free smart bombing battleships for hunt (post location)!!! That smart bombing pilot won't be there for too long.

Why would the smartbomber decloak with a HIC on grid/scan/nearby

Lowsec gatecamping in smartbombing ships works like this:

Your sb ship is cloaked on the outgate, in line with the selected ingate, where your cloaky scout sits. Once a target in pod/shuttle/low HP frig warps to the outgate, the sb ship decloaks and engages smartbombs. After target is dead, it cloaks/warps away, order depending on the ship type he uses.

Assuming he also eyes on the other side of the outgate, catching one of these is actually fairly difficult.

Smartbomb yourself.

or batphone someone who will kill them.

while big pirate groups are usualy blue to each other

I was about to say, where is santo lol!

Seriusly tho, look his fit up:

How about you speak a word about this.

One would assume ... I do ... you have a few things to say.

And Hi! Long time no see!
Didn't know you switched to t3.

Ewww ... ^_^

You know, if he is sitting on the gate with smartbombs running, he has aggression and cannot jump until he turns them off. So warp in at 20 with bombers or anything else that applies well and blap him.

How hard is it?

Also, smartbombing gatecampers are gei. Plz, get a life.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

Cant bubble in Low Sec which is where most of this occurs. Unless you script it.

Killing the invicible travelers is the most Fun i 've had in a long time . Getting the pods too is the best part of it! Although once the cormack smarties rised to 4b a pop, i decided to go over on a rack of T2's



I agree with you, smartbombs are unbalanced. Here is a link to a decent balance proposal in the FI&D section. With the T1 and T2 Tiercide, most, if not all ships, have gotten increased HP also. Next to that, no uniform ranges across the differant damage types, exept on T2, do makes Pulse Weapons V worth it ;)


I would disagree a bit. In blobs, its does requirs baiting, coordinating and lots of organisation with a lillte bit of luck! Solo it requirs an insane amount of skill and tricks to catch the normal fitted frigs! (some rl ductape, a mili sec cloak ect ect)

As with the new warp speed changes and the T1 and T2 shiptiercide, cycling the smartbombs doesnt kill the firgats anymore (pods yes, untanked firgs maybe just, everything fitted and more than 1200 (4sb) hp before resist > you wont kill).
So basicly the only moment you will be able to apply damage anymore is that 1 second timeframe window just before a ship lands on a gate. (You cant activate in range of a gate and when a ship is on gate, hes out of smartbomb range)
