I know this won't happen but it's worth mentioning just for fun. If I recall correctly there were some restrictions on smartbombs on when you can detonate them, you have to be a certain distance from a structure, etc. Remove those and let us do some Jita bombing runs, it drop people out of the sky and put them in a station which I imagine will lighten up the server load.

That and lets be honest I want to see some well timed smartbombs which will catch their pods immediately after popping their ships,

Smartbombing Jita is a sure fire way to kill the node.

Or, you could just gank them using allowed game mechanics.

But I want bigger explosions.

…because obviously, server load created by having to set up massive amounts of pilots in and out of space will be solved by forcing the server to do even more setups as those pilots transition from ship to pod to clone. Lol

Think about it though if you kill them all at once though the server only has to deal with that one lag spike Lol

A sensible yet modest proposal.

Short term pain, long term gain!

I think the smartbomb idea is a good idea. Sure, initialy you will have some lag effects. But as people get tired of getting blown up next to 50 or so others, they will learn to form a single file line into the dock. Others will throw up their hands in disgust and avoid Jita. It is the latter group that I will have to learn where they go, for they are likely my biggest source of income.

Right, because you would only do it once. :)
