The changes to red giants means it takes half as many bombs to kill a group of sleeper battleships, while it was possible to run them before, it has become significantly easier. The method for running the sites with bombers is:

-Bookmark each site at the spawn and 300kms off.
-Warp 2 dreads and 2 carriers to 300kms bookmark to spawn all the sleepers.
-Warp in some bombers,
-repeat until profit.


Bombing C5 sites in Red Giants is going to be easier, faster, and safer then running them with capitals.

um, theyre not increasing the amount of damage you can do with a bomber wing so presumably you can do the same thing now with 7 bombers. *shrug*

Doing it with 7 bombers would be more annoying, but yeah, it's doable... one site per minute anyone?

... go do the maths on how many bombers you can use before you pop your bombs. like i said, wing damage hasnt changed.

It has definitely put this idea on the map but hasn't changed much. Except you can more easily muster 3 bomber pilots than 7. or if you have 6, you just get to do the same thing twice as fast.

Overheat the bomb resistance hardeners!

New module to be introduced in hyperion. Bomb hardeners.

4 bombers is easier then 8

not saying it wasn't possible before, just that it's a lot easier now

I'm going to help you understand this. Keith has decided that the W-forums are his personal troll board, and has been exercising his newfound trolling powers.

We were able to pull off the smart bombing BS in our old C6 RedGiant. Well, sort of. We had 2-3 BS with faction bombs and the other had T2. The sleepers were usually able to get out of T2 smarty range pretty quick, even with webs.

The bombing runs would require the same amount of people/bomber. Alas, "Dude, where's my wreck? " is sure to follow

Actually despite my other post, this one isn't a troll, but pointing out something that *might* be broken. Back in Sky I talked to someone who used to run sites with a single bomber; when he was bored or just to see if he could.

Pretty sure if anything, he'd provide a video of how he succeeded.

Wait, are wrecks affected by bombs? Smartbombs don't them... (I think)
