So I actually read the rules for once and found that I'm not supposed to talk about (possible) bugs, so edit and snip!

I will say, however, that not being able to see the status of a bug report is mildly infuriating. Was it a duplicate? Probably? Working as intended? Maybe? All I know is "closed" without comment. Last time I bother submitting anything.

I'm playing around with bombers and after reading everywhere that I can launch, then warp away, I decided to test on SISI a little bit.

Couldn't get it to work...

Plant a mammoth just outside the dock of a station, bomb, but stay on grid: dead indy; beautiful explosion.
Same, but warp away - notification that I did 0 dmg to a station, and that's it. Indy takes 0 dmg.

Do the same with the indy at a planet with nothing else nearby - same exact result.

Do it in an asteroid belt - same... I stay on grid - boom. I don't... no boom.

Can someone please link me to a dev post deep within page 72 of a thread saying that this was a recent intentional change and then berate me for not using the search function/google properly?

I could then cancel my bug report and save CCP's time.


CCP has a track record of giving Stealth Bombers Stealth Nerfs Lol

If this is true, then it's just the second silliest nerf they have tried, after the decloaking on other stealthed ships one. Instead of tweaking bomb application parameters or fixing shield battleships so they don't get annihilated by bombs, they come up with weird special snowflake coding like this one here.

I really, really hope this is a bug, but I won't hold my breath over it. Please stop nerfing the bomber and rework the bombs.

I tested it two days ago and did not have the same result as you did. I put a industrial on the undock, launched bomb at the indy and warped off. I saw the station damage notification but not the industrial, warped back and targeted the industrial, it did take damage. What you might have noticed was that there was no damage notification but it still indeed taken damage. If you want to confirm, have another person sitting in the ship your bombing to let you know instead of a unmanned ship.

It could have something to do with the grid unloading. Empty ship on a grid that no player is present on.
