As the title,

We already have delay for targeting ships after decloak, that was introduced long ago after many tears from nullsecs due to solo bombers typically wrecking their day.

So then Im saying, it also should fall to logic to have an as significant a delay when using smartbombs after decloak ?

Cloaky smartbomber detected.

I never talked about bombs.

Smartbombing yea, namely the cloaky and utterly risk-adverse type that gets away of blowing up 3bil pods for literally no effort.

Point of Order: Why should the value of the pod reflect upon the effort or risk of the opponent to blow it up? How would it be a better game if pods (or ships for that matter) were safer if they were worth more or were carrying more valuable things?

Someone needs to provide some risk for pods, which let's be frank, are near impervious in Empire space where there are no bubbles. I for one am glad there are apparently some players stalking these veteran players and apply some risk to them flaunting their wealth to improve their PvP chances over the poor new players who cannot afford such bling implants.

So, no OP, it is not time to make pods even safer and give more advantage to complacent veteran players with heads full of expensive implants. Let's keep those players at least at theoretical risk to being out-played and losing those implants. Not only does this risk mean players have to make a real choice, implant loss is a great stimulator of the economy and keeps the markets humming along.

tell you what, stop flying 3bil pods in paper thin shuttles, i mean how ******** are you flying your 3bil pod in a ship that has 0 tank, risk-adverse, lol totally wrong on soo many levels give it a try sometime and see

Stop being bad instead.

FYI it is risk averse.

Second, please don't misuse the concept of risk averse.

K, thanks bye.

I don't know. A weapon that needs no lock logically need no delay. But it rather adds to the flavor of the game that you can just decloak and go full disco right there. Much lols to be had.

yep
