Player Features and Ideas Discussion

But, seeing as you can't activate any modules while cloaked, and active modules shut down when cloaking up, how exactly do you expect this module to work?

Also, bomber wings would not really care about losing a mid slot to this device, it's not as if they hang around long enough to activate anything but warp anyway.

And please remember that if you change the cloaking mechanic for one ship you change it for ALL of them.

Have you even used a bomber?

Obviously this module would have to run during cloaked. I am confident this can be programmed. But only the devs know.




Yes and yes.

Did space and ammzi bomb you again?
Are you saying you will pvp if bombers get nerfed?

Don't lie to yourself, bombers aren't the reason why CFC is so risk averse it's the blue doughnut and the fact that you have SRP.

Less than 4 hours and this turned into GRR ISBOXER.

While we're on bombers:

They're not sexy-looking enough yet, for something we see for about 20 seconds every 3 minutes they need to be stunningly beautiful.

Just reduce bombs resistance so 1 less can be on same volley. No need of massive complicated nerfs.

If an extra is to be added.. increase a tad their signature so they can be locked faster.

Bombers are one of the few tactics available for asymetric warfare. They're one of the best ways to fight a bigger, meaner, nastier group and have an effect. They require player skills in a way which is unique and interesting.
Personally, I feel they're a little to tough if caught, and have a little too much capacity, but are otherwise in a very nice place.I think that being able to use torps to do l4s, even in fac-war with the assassinate style missions means they have a bit too much tank or that such missions haven't got enough webs/paints, but that nuking the tank to deal with this is the wrong way to deal with this issue with their balance. +2-5 sig size and balancing cargo hold to make a 3 bomb bomber have to use a low to carry a reload on torps seems about right to me.

op do you even fly bombers

Yeah No this is a cry for "Nerf the Bombers So we Don't have to worry about them again" thread
the no decloak while cloaked mechanic was an amazing addition to the game, if you want this you may as well have cruise missiles fitted again and take away the warping cloaked abilitys too. Just like old times right?

Although i am pleasantly surprised this didn't have a "Make AFK Cloaking Impossible" bit to it

But still, No

Is the bomber wing really too powerful or are people really too bad at EVE?

Also, kill ISBotter forever. Just my opinion.

I neglected to mention that avoiding a bomb wave is 1000x Easier than it used to be.

CCP gave us Micro jump drives, both large and medium to almost instantly re-appear 100kms away which have been used to great effect both in Napoc Doctrines and the PL Vulture Doctrines we see in Providence. If you actually train the skill up your gone before the bomb hits every time.

CCP gave us a mobile micro jump unit, which if anchored and online before the Bomb run means you can get away with minimal damage. Although this is touch and go

To merely outrun a bomb you just need to go 3.1km/s as the result is traveling greater than 30km's from the point of impact, in 10 seconds ( time bomb takes to be fire and impact althout realistically its about 11-13 seconds because of server delay ). Most cruiser, frigate, and even some battlecruiser fleets can achieve speeds such as this or greater than this with ease therefore avoiding the entire run. Although messing this up does mean those bombs are going to hurt a lot more.

Back before all this you saw bombs coming you had to pray you had the tank and your logi was on the ball that night. So i would say were better off with Bombers as is, ISBoxer or not.
( though i will admit i will never use the program myself )
