Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Wow, this thread has turned into a plethora of bad trolls, none of whom seem to be interested in discussing the topic nor do they seem to have any experience on the issue.

If you live in lowsec and do the majority of your pvp there, then why/how would bombs affect you?

The only time I have gone off topic is to reply to your silly troll posting, I mean seriously do you just go from thread to thread posting about posting? Maybe if you posted on topic a little more people would take you seriously, I guess on topic posting is too much to ask for.



Unlike you I'm not an attention seeker, I don't go around posting in threads ignoring the topic and fishing for likes and asking people to post with their mains. I have consistently spoken about stealthbombers and how their versatility is overpowered, obviously that's too much for you too handle.

This suggests that bombs are not the problem and is reinforced by your statement that bombing strategies have not changed in years. If bombing mechanics and strategies have not changed, why do they suddenly need a nerf? Because something else has become imbalanced? Have I read the thread? Yeah, and it's full of butthurt. I also fly bombers on the regular, they were the first T2 Frigate I skilled into and I would rather see something constructive instead of your feeble attempts to derail the thread with slights against me. Do you fly bombers? Do you understand anything about their drawbacks? I see no evidence to support that nor any reasonable balancing attempts on your part. Until I see something that proves otherwise, I'll leave you to it.

i agree..... a squad of 8 bombers will do roughly 64 000 dmg with all 8 bombs......that is enough to take out frigs, cruisers and some battlecruiser fleets(depends on fittings) but will not be able to take out battleship fleet(for that u need 3 4 squads) and this is with out mwd.

The bomber should be very effective versus large targets but they are more effective against smaller targets,like 3 4 bombers will take out any destroyer or frigate fleet if they do a wrong move (like warping to a drag bubble), but will have small to no effect to battleships(even more less effective on armor BS).

I'm not saying nerf SB or anything i`m just saying make it harder for SB to bomb smaller targets.....

my idea is:
- the bombs should have 2000 damage and explosion radius 250 m same range of 15 km and add a damage multiplier based on target signature radius. For example for targets with a signature radius from 250 - 350 add a damage multiplier or x 2 and for targets that have a signature radius over 350 add a damage multiplier of 4 this way the bombs will keep their effectiveness against big targets but will lower effectiveness against smaller targets.
- The explosion radius vs signature radius mechanics should remain in place as it is now.
-And also signature radius of battleships and larger ships should be adjusted so that with fleet bonuses should not be under 350 m...

Those bombers were orbiting in a small bunch, and generally not aligned. Imagine what an enemy group of 4-8 stealth bombers would have done to Progod's SB fleet! In general, a fleet of frigates will obliterate a fleet of SB's as long as they don't get bombed on approach.

While your math is correct, I was using 8 as the maximum as you can't guarantee that every pilot have cov ops 5 AND are all flying the same bomber. Most bombing communities generally stick to Scorch bombs to take advantage of the thermal resistance hole that is prevalent in so many hulls. Unless of course they have prior knowledge to their targets resists. 7-8 tends to be the norm that I've seen anyhow.

Grr Goons are doing something that CVA has done for years, this is now some sort of problem.

It's a problem because Goons are doing it, or something.

You can bomb while cloa...oh wait.




So, your last complaint is that someone has an alt.

Wow.
