Looking at keeping a couple of these on a bomber mainly because normal bombs have a limited use because they kill friendly drones around the target fleet.

The lock breaker bomb has a strength of 12.5..is this enouch to jam a logi? will it jam a logi with a single ECCM mod fit?
Is brealing locks enough to reduce the incoming dps?What is it's effect on drones? do the dornes keep attacking?

Or is a void bomb better. 1800kj of cap drained. How much cap does a logi take? would a ship even notice such a cap drain once? Or is this more for many bombers?

thanks

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Guardian according to this has 19... So run that through the ECM formula and see what the chance is... Also not sure if ECM skills impact those or not.

Someone told me that these bombs are affected by signature radius, much like normal bombs. At least the neut one supposedly is. This means you might get the whole effect on big ships and MWDing pilots, but not much else.

Wow that makes these teri bad.

The lock breaker is not chance based....since it is 12.5 it can't break the lock on anything of importance.
That is if i'm reading right.


If the nuet is affected by signature radius a single bomb would not do much to destabalize a cap chain...

Void bombs are really good against capships. Not much use for lockbreakers in my experience, though.

Void bombs are becoming the new FotM in 0.0.

A wave of void bombs to take out hardeners followed by a wave of regular bombs. It's brutal.
