Have you ever wondered if it was possible to bomb a capital ship?

Is the reload time on bombs fast enough that a large group of bombers could use the drop and warp method to create a revolving door attack against a POS?
Warp to point A (cloaked), align to point B (which is behind POS), uncloak, drop bomb, warp out, rinse repeat?


It'd be more practical and faster to use torps, even assuming perfect bombing runs.

Reports this morning indicate that this bug has been fixed (past the point of making it "right", straight on to "breaking" bombs the other way LOL). I'm not sure about all missiles taking damage again, but bombs are hurting other bombs at least.

I've also been told all other missiles are taking damage again too, so time to break out the firewalls ^_^

Word is bombs are oneshotting other bombs of the same type.

I went from planning bomberfleets to deciding to sell my bomber overnight!

Word is bombs have 0 resists now. Oh well, I'm sure the next fix for unified inventory or something will accidently bug them back to normal.
