So I am a complete newb to PVP in Eve attempting to learn. I was playing with my bomber against some rats. I wanted to see if the ship would fire a bomb without needing to be locked onto the target. I pointed my ship towards the target and fired. Completely forgetting my MWD was on...

My thought process literally went like this.

*fires bomb*
"It worked!"
"My bomb is only 9m away."
"Wait. Why is my bomb still only 9m away from my ship?"
"Oh ****! Abort! Abort!"
*BOOM!*

Yep. Puts a new spin on "suicide bombing" doesn't it? :D


Too soon?

I think there was an old adage that you aren't a real bomber pilot until you've managed to bomb yourself.

Did you manage the kill the rats?

There's a youtube video somewhere from years ago where a fellow managed to pod himself.

One cannot truly call himself a bomber pilot without failbombing either himself or his fleet.. or both.

Indeed. Next time, go for the home run and bomb additional goons.

The most memorable lessons are those discovered while staring at the smouldering wreckage of your ship with a slightly red face.

And yes, I've bombed myself too Oops

I've done this. But the rat got credit and all he did was miss me. I edited him out and make me the killer but the kill board I put it on deleted it when I plugged in my api. This was back when kill mails were all text.

I think 90% of people manage to kill them selves with the first bomb they ever use. P

lol if you play with bombs long enough one of them will kill you.

on a side note, had a strange thing happen with a bomb one night.

sitting at a gate, timed the frigate fleet jumping the gate perfect. bomb landed right smack in the middle of the frigs.

bomb just sails right through the middle of them and keeps going.

one of the guys typed in local. IRC made bombs, it will kill something eventually.

i lol'd Lol

they lol'dLol

i just sat thinking,,, bastard bomb! Evil

Can you lock onto a bomb and web it?
