If someone could please elaborate on this, it would be much appreciated.

Bombs: , require targeting, setting up warp points, aligning properly, and team work in the case of multiple bombs at once

smart bombs: activate a module and sit and kill smaller ships/drones without even needing to do anything further

bombs: not allowed in low sec

smart bombs: allowed in low sec


someone explain to me why it makes sense

Because bombs have a higher strike, much longer ranges, you can fire a few times with torpedoes also, you can get away more easily after you make your run, and stealth bombers are more agile and cheaper but have less HP. Oh btw, you don't have to target them to drop bombs.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

since when are bombers agile? i remember trying fw missions with bombers. id take a hit or two and start warping out at like 75% shields. the next 12 seconds or so would be a painful way to watch my ship die. yea no bombers are insanely slow.

Only when you do FW missions now with the webbing frigates. Before the changes to calmil and minnie FW missions I can do 6~8 L4 missions in a row with a manticore. Then CCP removed LP easymode for both militias by adding webbing frigs. Time to get the jackdaws out.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
