Jita undock.

No, but it maybe a little more playable and complete than just make a kamikaze ship because i am not referring to a ship but a product that interacts with other aspects of the game and it's more fun like that for me at least.

You can balance it by simply by adding a drawback, like if you have explosives in the cargo hold you can't cloak or let's say radiation or volatileness of the explosives result in the ship structure affected.

For example:
There is danger of very high temperatures and the ships hull is compromised. (THERMIC)
The electromagnetic radiation from the type of explosive/device disrupts the ships shield. (EM)
The volatileness of explosives is very high and the ships propulsion system functions at 15% (EXPLOSIVE)
The Kinetic energy of photons from the kinetic energy generator is unstable and can start a chain reaction
that creates a black hole and the result is an implosion. (KINETIC)

You can affect everything with anything.

i suggest a other way of suicide strike

you could buy explosives on market, fill your cargo bay and fit a remote detonator in high slot, once you activate it cycles in 15seconds then ship detonates , inflicting long rangedamage, more explosives you have , more damage at longer range. this could be done in many ships the detonation causes explosive,thermal and kinetic damage

ship type -------------damage type ------------------------damage value-------------------------------------------range
frigates t1,t2)---------------- therm/kinetic.explosive----------500 dps---------------------------------------------------3km
destroyer (t1 dictor t3)------------explosive kinetic --------------------750 dps------------------------------------------6km
cruisers (t1,t2,t3)------- thermal explosive ------------------1225dps-----------------------------------------7km
battlecruisers(t1,t2)-----explosive-----------------1500dps-------------------------------------------------10km
battleship----------------thermal kinetic explosive --------2250dps--------------------------------------13km
industrial-------------explosive thermal kinetic----------2000 dps ( only regular hauler sush iteron)----16km
transport ships -----thermal kinetic explosive --------3500 dps (deep space transports)---------------20km
orca -------------------all types of damage----------------7500 dps------------------------------------------------40km
carrier-----------------explosive thermal-----------------------------5000dps--------------------------------------------------75km
supercarrier----------explosive therma----------------------9000dps---------------------------------------------------100km
dreadnought--------- explosive--------------------------------12000dps------------------------------------------------120km
titan--------------------- all types---------------------------------20000dps------------------------------------------------250km

And, as has been pointed out, what stops anyone from doing this on the Jita undock?

Repeatedly?

Well, there is always stealth bombers, too- just don't warp away after dropping and you'll have near the same effect.

If you're suicide bombing you wouldn't care about "safety" anyhow, right?

I was hoping I wasn't the only one thinking that.

No, look back at the abortive thing called Mines in game if you wish a decent reason although baltecs answer pretty well summed it all up.

1. Having smart bombs is not the same as having explosives, the one is module the other payload ( stable / unstable damage) and besides not the same fun.

2. Now for Jita undock smart bombs and explosives is almost same there isn't much difference in the outcome for frigates at least.

3. The post name is Suicide Attack, Cargo Explosives because i presumed that everyone will figure that you can do this exactly how this four words mean, i apologize if i chose the wrong words for it (basic idea is denote with type of payload in cargo and Kaboom no corpse, straight to the clone) .

4. Amak Boma you got this man maybe by combining your idea and this posts idea something awesome will be.

5. Zakks the safety measures you post are a very good idea also and must be taken in consideration .

6. Stealth Bomber.... Really, average cost is 25 million ISK not the same as a iteron witch is 500K or 1M depends on trade hub.

7. Mines are spring traps, waiting to do damage if and when someone comes that way, a mine must work like a structure or a warp bubble it needs time to arm.

8. Droping a bomb from a Stealth Bomber is not the same as being the Bomb.

9. And final for this reply everyone is worried about Jita what's stopping you now from forming a fleet of destroyers or battle cruisers and fit all the high slots with Smart Bombs and have a go?!?

Thank you all for you posts.

It works better with battleships, that's what.

Would your bomb idea not do more damage than 8 large smartbombs? If not, what would be the point in ever actually using it?
