I have 2 accounts and want to use stealth bombers fitted with Scorch Bomb to take out 7 custom offices. Is this a bad idea? I have been trying to find a way to do as much damage as I can in a short amount of time and came up with this.

Any advice is welcome, thank you.

Yes, thats a pretty bad Idea. Sure, DPS on Paper looks fine, but you have a looooooooong timer between two bombs. Use Torps on those bombers, way better. Oracle is the go to ship for pos shooting, or some Drone Boat with heavies.

A customs office has 10,000,000 shields, 500,000 armor and 300,000 structure for a total of 10,800,000 raw hit points. A base scorch bomb will do 6400 damage. Assuming poco shields did not recharge and bomb reload was not an issue it would take 1688 bombs per poco. 11,813 bombs for all 7. No single trade hub can supply that many, but assuming Amarr's lowest trade hub price of 1.232m per bomb had an infinite supply it would cost 14.5 billion isk.

Having (nearly) reinforced a small POS with naught but a pair of bombers, I can tell you that bombers are no fun for structure grinding unless you have larger numbers and an overwhelming need to remain mobile/stealthy. My preferred ships are:

Laser Domi
Laser Geddon
Laser Gnosis

There are some other good ones out there, but these are what I use primarily. The key is eliminating reloads wherever possible.

Thank you everyone for your input and suggestions, I am thinking to go ahead with torps (both my main chars are far off from lasers) and try and eliminate my reload time. @ Aerie Evingod I did a calculation of a scenario and it would take me 13 hours just to take down one custom office. I am still looking at my options and I just might have to call on some old friends to help me with this task... and by the way this is in a C1. Wish me luck I also have to scrape up some isk to put up back the custom offices, I'll have all the materials for the new custom offices before I take down the old ones.

I just want this to go face I know if I have a corp or at least an alliance to help things would go fast but I was away from EVE for a while... no alliance to help me and not much friends.

Am I missing an option?

I also created a separate post to create a website for the corp/alliance that get get this done but no takers...

Might be easier to buy the poco from the corp who currently owns it.

Pulse Oracles do a credible job of it. But since you stated that you don't have lasers, torp bombers are a decent option. They get really good application vs POCOs. Use Purifiers if you want that EM damage.

This, also think about the fit, you want max damage so look at the damage mods and remove unnecessary items from the standard fits for what you are doing, removing the bomb launcher gives you more options in terms of damage mods.

Another good ship to use is a Talos, heavy damage and good for PvP if of course you have T2 gun skills.

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.
