singularity bomb when launched causes a micro singularity causing -50% speed for 2-3 mins in the 30km blast radius

let the no's commence lol

or whatever time frame and radius and penalty would be balanced

Not a bad concept, but poorly thought out.

Sooooo... basically a temporary stasis webifer bubble...

Not of fan of the concept. Makes wiping out ships on gate too easy.

How did you Veterans start?

Hmm, not bad, but it should just stop every ship with no long-term effects.

I've always been sympathetic to the idea of creating what is effectively "space terrain" but, as stated, making it easier to camp gates etc is not desirable.

This has come up before and generally garnered negative responses. As far as I'm concerned I'd have no problems with this on the condition that it can't be used within a warp disruption bubble. So if the bomb goes off and the bomb bubble intersects with a warp disruption bubble the singularity bubble immediately collapses. The combination of this singularity bubble with, say, a HIC would be way OP.

just an idea and if we dont suggest then we wont get improvements.

So your using a bomb to create a black hole and it slows people down? If I'm traveling toward it it should speed me up. I think a better thing would be for the bomb to create an instantaneous spike in acceleration/max velocity in the direction of the detonation to all ships on grid. The magnitude of the acceleration spike can be reduced by distance from the epicenter.

This could have tactical uses of giving your fleet a quick speed boost while slowing the enemy from fleeing/throwing off their align. Or a bomber wing could do the math and launch several of these singularity bombs before they fire their damage bombs allowing them to fire their bombs from much further away

how about the opposite, a bomb that you drop and it ejects every ship in its radius (50k t1, 100k t2) as would be done by a pos shield, pushed from blast center at ejection velocity? would be a great gatecamp clearing tool as well as a blob scatter tactical tool.

That's not actually true, we just won't get the improvements we ask for.
