? friendly fire? doesent the name "smart" bomb mean it atleast has sensor's to not explode on allied contact? just my gues tho :p

It will only kill noobs since it will likely have some kind of delay to it, it will also likely only one hit scouts. This just means when you kill someone, you need to watch out for any audible or visual queues that they're about to explode, and get the hell out of dodge. Also, this HAS to have friendly fire, I will laugh so damn hard the first time I see someone sniped while near their buddies, exploding and taking them all with him

I for one thing the T bag defense mechanism will be a fun and interesting addition to the game, and this coming from a CQC guy.

They said it would kill ANY infantry within it's range, so it's probably going to be as strong as an E3 remote detonator .

I think you're hanging too much on the light description that they've given us so far. I for one reserve all judgement until I actually see how the damn thing functions. It will likely have high CPU / PG requirements, meaning to put it on a cheap suit would severely gimp you, and putting it on a good suit means you're guaranteed to lose that ISK as opposed to being revived. I think it will be fine, I'll STILL ghost up on people and merc their face off, bomb or not.

You'd think, but smart bombs are anything but in EVE. They damage anything and everything around them, so you need to be really careful with them. Plus, you can't use them in High Security space without alerting CONCORD (I believe, can anyone confirm?)

I think 125 hp a blast would be a fair start for it

People are going to run militia scouts with only a smart bomb.

Sci fi jihadding. once one gets' close enough, you're all going to die.

I would rather not see it be implemented at all.

they will kill any and all infantry.

Which means it'll be strong enough to down a heavy.

Says who?

CCP said that smart bombs will be strong enough to kill any, and all infantry within it's ranger. That includes heavies.

Post your source, because all I've seen is a single line translated from IRC that said it will take out infantry. It didn't say how much damage. It didn't say what kind of blast radius. It didn't list stats. It was just a tiny little blurb.

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill >_<

again, we're talking about CCP here. They like to overly buff new things.

Cool story bro! Now show proof

its a device you can equipment, and it'll explode when you die, killing all other infantry within it's radius.

Yea, that's going to ruin CQC combat.

wanna-be CoD martyrdom. STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS GAME INTO COD PEOPLE, AND NOT THE FISH! ugh.

Teh lulz at rage +1

Wanna-be good player, you can't even pull off a 360 no-scope throwing knife quad from exactly 666 meters. What a scrub.

Seriously though, it's a bad idea.
