Any time I launch a bomb I'm usually aligned. (I never actually see my bomb explode if I did it right) but if inertia based bombing is real and not a troll I have to ask what does that say for the missle mechanics in this game?

Wtf are you talking about? Everyone knows bombs are inertia launched and fire backwards. Always remember to align to your fleet at 30km and fire before you warp.

Bombs are dumb missiles that fly in a straight line, they shouldn't need inertia, just button press. Then again most people are moving when bombing like heroes so most of eve probably hasn't tested the inertia bit.

Actually this is ship specific. Some stealth bombers need inertia, some don't.
However safest runs and longest range come with combined mwd and ab in any of them.

Awesome thread!

Dont trust anybody... Don't even trust the bombs! They'll do whatever is most inconvenient to you at the time of launch.

Did you use the normal or expanded probe launcher? Next time, be sure to reconnect and recall lost bombs before they blow!

Also don't forget to set the bomb timer individually to each bomb.
You have to do this in hangar or cargo hold by right clicking the bomb while holding "½"-key.

Time is given in milliseconds so 100ms = 1 second = bomb will travel about 2-3 km and blow.
I recommend at least 500ms timer to give you more time to warp out. Maximum allowed time is 1000ms (10s).

The longer you set the timer the greater the variance of the explosion timer as well.

Also remember: the longer the fuse time the more time the enemy has to defuse it and hurl it back at you.

To the OP:

Next time you launch a bomb and it doesn't move, call Explosive Ordanance Disposal. Its there job to come out and remove any and all explosive material.

They have a saying:

"I am a bomb tech. If you see me running, try and keep up!"

Some days you're the bug, and some days your the windscreen.                   And some days, you're just a man with a gun.

my 2 cents
Folks they are bombs. They drop out of the bottom of your B-52 and simply fall to the Taliban below. No rockets, no motors, and the EVE bombs are not even laser or GPS guided. Just a piece of dumb metal that goes boom. Bombs have no friends.

BTW: They just found a two ton bomb in the river in Germany from WWII.
