Tuxford bomb. But it would cost enough PLEX to reimburse affected players.

Wasn't there a small squad capable nuclear bomb developed during the cold war? I cant seem to find the video I watched on it... but it had a launch range of something like just under a half mile...but an explosion range higher than its launch range... so pretty much any squad who used it would kill themselves..
That was the M-388, which was launched from the M28 and M29 launchers, commonly known as the Davy Crockett or nuclear bazooka.

Depends on which version of the warhead you were using. There was a fixed-yield version which was nominally safe - and a variable-yield version where if you used the higher-end setting, you'd best be firing it over a pretty big hill, or you'd be all kinds of sorry.

For the sake of ballancing, such bomb would have large sig and be slower then the small bombs. If such thing existed, there would be fleets of instalocking ships to destroy it before it arrived to their targets. And it would be too slow to hit a single target as well

What I think would be fun is self-destructing the ship with AoE damage or some other kind of suicide maneuver, but that would make suicide ganking even easier (unless prohibited in high sec)

Space jalopies.

Make a mechanism whereby ships must undergo periodic upkeep at some nominal price, or be subject to degradation: Misfiring weapons, reduced beam damage, weakend shlelds, stuttering MWDs - up to and including random ship-destroying power-plant detonations. Such detonations would be AoE, and would subject the owner to secuirty status hits as if one had cooked off a smart bomb. If your jalopy blows up at Jita Undock, you might find yourself immediately exiled to Nul for your sloppy maintenance habits. :D

Then Harry can Leroy his space jalopy into a large fleet, and hope for the best (worst) to happen. P

I think they should revise mines and bring them back. That way you could mine your warp bubble, but maybe when someone flys into it the detonations blow up the bubble itself too. I can think of so many cool things you could do with that. Imagine a bait fleet surrounded by a sphere of anchored heavy bombs. Fun for all! Big smile

Whatever happened to the bombers for capital blobs? Was that really a thing?

If any other class of vessel from battleship on down clusters together in a blob they are highly susceptible to bombs. the meta for the last 2 years has been to drop carrier blobs on anything.

I guess he has know idea don quixote is about.



I feel this needs to be requoted :)

Either, Harry is the most determined troll, or he has never understood the imagery :p

Alternative theory.....someone else made the picture for him, and one of his close circle is not as close as they should be *tinfoil*

The Tsar bomba had a yield of 50 to 58 megatons of TNT. It was originally constructed to have 100 megatons of TNT. That would have had an estimated destruction radius of 35km.

We already have bombs and they inflict enough damage to small targets and have a radius of 15km. The scale of EVE ships is large already, and creating "mega-bombs" or bombs already bigger than the ones we have now would be an imbalance.

CCP is not here to empower your crusade against nullsec, King Harry Forever of Highsec, first of his name, lord protector of the 4 realms, leader of the anti-nullsec crusade.


sure we need it, and the game needs it as well... at the moment the focus is too much on alliances and groups... there are many soloplayers who are able to build up big amount of ISK on their own, but the superweapon to use it is missing

if I'm able to build an amount of ISK comparable to a corp, then I want to have a weapon to fight that corp

the only balance needs to be the price for the weapon, that can be discussed


Do you know what happened in the old days when a solo titan would DD a fleet unsupported by a lot of subcaps?

the big alliances and stuff are good for the people who want it, but it mostly attracts only a herd of sheeps

powerful personalities is what the game needs much more, they don't want to be in alliances with those others

trust me they hate those groups, thats why they want to fight them, more tools are needed for this

we need wargear for those individuals, it would attract much more interesting players to the game


I dont mind if development and production of such a bomb takes 3-6 month, and if only one at a time can be produced,

but there needs to be a superweapon for dedicated soloplayers


the content they will bring to the game will be far bigger then most of the average alliances nobody cares about



Powerful personalities? You mean like The Mittani?

Harry, while I thought I would never ever be able to say this, but you take shitposting to a level that Ace can only dream of. I didn't think a sane, cogent human being could believe half of the things that fall out of your mouth when you leave it open.

On this, and this alone, you have proved me wrong. Well done old boy, my faith in humanity falls yet another notch. And that's an achievement, I can assure you. I haven't lost a notch of that since the day I found out what Honey Boo Boo was. So, rejoice, you are in hallowed company.

You are most certainly correct. It will require a nerf to highsec to return it to balance.
