I blew myself up with my own bomb before but it didn't generate a killmail. Doesn't it do that when you are the only thing that is on your own (hypothetical) KM?

Anyways, no, you are not the only one and yes, it worked :D

OP said this "My bomb is only 9m away."
Also, you can use faction webbers to get more than 10km range.

Also, there are some ships with range bonuses to webs, so if they could lock onto an incoming bomb and web it...

And yes, I've bombed myself too Oops


I once managed to bomb myself - with the wrong bomb type - so I not only killed myself, I killed all the other bombs too.

There should be an acheivement for that.

I've done this. But the rat got credit and all he did was miss me. I edited him out and make me the killer but the kill board I put it on deleted it when I plugged in my api. This was back when kill mails were all text.

I think 90% of people manage to kill them selves with the first bomb they ever use. P


I haven't, maybe I should bomb some more?

I tried looking for faction webbers a while back for more range, couldn't see any ... you sure there's some with more range?

Anyway, point was, if it kills you at 9, it's gunna kill you at ten, ... so if it's in web range, it's going to kill you anyway. What you need is the reverse tractor beam :-)

Assuming it does kill you at 9 ... Lol

My thought process literally went like this.

*fires bomb*
"It worked!"
"My bomb is only 9m away."
"Wait. Why is my bomb still only 9m away from my ship?"
"Oh ****! Abort! Abort!"

You're not alone, we have a well known fail bomber in our ranks. Despite this knowledge the FC had him in a recent fleet and so it was no surprise to see he'd failed again.

You are not alone lol

Yes there are faction webs with more then 10 KM range. Overheat and links can both expand the range.

http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=17559 14km Range. Get a Loki with V Propulsion Subsystem Skill and it easily gets to 40km range with overheat, 60km with OGB.

http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=14264 has even 15km, but is also quite expensive, but you should be able to break 60km range with it.

So yeah, you can definitely be outside of a bombs explosion radius while webbing it, especially when using ships with bonuses to webs.

That is a normal kill report for a bomber pilot. No sweat.

Dying to a bomb, sure. Dying to your own bomb? Perhaps we have a different definition of "normal" :)
