Did I say Meta 9 smartbombs were all the same?
How could I be incorrect when talking about faction smartbombs when the only thing I said about them was...

All I got from this thread was a slight suspicion that there may be some kind of award for ****-poster of the week..

..one that comes with a big prize fund.

Anyway if you think some smartbombs are better than others just use those ones? Same with sentries but obviously no one uses them Roll

Perhaps his sentries are broken because he tried to use them at the same time as smartbombs?

That is where you are saying they are all the same and that is where you are incorrect. If damage type has nothing to do with it, then why is it faction and officer SB's are different depending on their damage type?

Because they're not different depending on their damage type — they're different depending on their manufacturer. Damage type is just another of the manufacturer-dependent differences.

If your pattern only fits for faction and officer smartbombs, but not at all for Meta 0 through Meta 5, then how can you claim a dependency?

What you've noticed is an irregularity at the high end of the scale.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

smartbombs need some sort of rework to make them more useful while not making them instapop cruisers :P

a lot more range (similar to ECM burst range) would be useful, and considering large bombs can't do much to anything other than frigs, it wouldn't break anything too bad. smartbombs are one of the alternative weapon systems I actually think are sort of useful (unlike defender missiles or FOFs) so it would be great to see some iteration

oh and take off the "not able to bomb within x from gate/station" restriction in non high-sec systems Twisted

I bought the Gallente bomber because it looks pretty.

However, I have absolutely no idea how to use it.

Advice, pointers to bombers, use of, information please.

Of course, it may be that I am just too dumb to use smart bombs.

You're thinkin' of standard bombs, mate. You'll need a Bomb Launcher for those.

This thread is about smartbombs, though, the high-slot weapon that has an area effect around your ship and runs on a cycle. Normal bombs are charges that require a launcher.

(Tip: bomb speed depends on your ship's speed.)
