I have also got on my own KM with a bomb but that's deliberate to keep KB efficiency neutral. If I know I am going to lose a fight (God I hate interceptors...especially Taranis) then I will launch a bomb directly at the ship and make sure I am within the explosion radius. Cancels out the kill quite nicely. Big smileBig smileBig smile


Do the KB stats mean that much to you or are you actively using them in some way?

I know some merc corps advertise their kill ratio's... is this you? I'm dying to k now if there is something else I'm missing...

My personal KB efficiency is more useful when it's misleading & says I s*ck... I don't get the alpha and can dish out more dps.

With a little practice you can hit your own pod, but it doesn't generate a killmail :( I've only done it on sisi to see if it was possible, if it generated a killmail I'd do it on TQ just for ***** and giggles.

The basic technique is the fit your bomber to go over 3km/s, get up to speed, fire bomb, eject 8 seconds later.

Any alliance that calls primaries based on KB performance needs to die. I might occasionally look up a toon to see if they have a history of baiting/flying cyno ships, but beyond that having a kb that sucks is just going to make life difficult if you want to join a decent PvP corp.

Same goes for alliance KBs, you'll have more corps/members apply if your killboard is good. Sadly that means using tricks like jumping on corp mates KMs, using neutral triage alts etc :P

My most memorable kill to date

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=12255927


  • Forgot to cloak
  • Warped to a perch at 300KM from gate
  • Sat there observing the gate
  • Dram warped to gate @ zero
  • Freaked out when I got targeted as Dram burned from gate right at me
  • Launched bomb and warped to gate
  • Passed right next to Dram mid warp, turned camera and watched Dram go Pop
  • Grinned like a drunk monkey


Have never been able to reproduce!

I agree, if we're talking about fleet battles... but I live in wormhole space. When you've had scouts on a small corp in the neighboring hole for 10 hours, you know how they pee and f*ck and have queried every DB in the known universe for thier information. The best PvPer will be alpha'd when the rubber hits the road, in small gang WH warfare.

Most of the time, they are in the primary ship anyhow.

I guess I should call this Topic: "Stealth Bombers Anonymous" instead of "Bombs Versus MWD Faction Frigates"... We can all talk about how we've done bombing runs and how we've screwed up or succeeded in doing our jobs/hobbies and talking about killing, or getting killed, by our bombs and other players.
