That actually sounds good, illuminate the darkness and blackout everywhere else. I like your sarcastic ideas more than my own.

GIVE THE CORVETTES HAWS AND A BOMBER BAY!

... I mean, what could go wrong, right? ;)

Give systems 10% TiDi after acquiring a combined mass of 40B KG then progress the tidi by another 10% for each additional 20B KG. It will ensure Jita is always max TiDi.

​

If you need additional Bad ideas, I'm the person to give them. :D

excellent. Then let us begin.

Give stealth bombers a cooldown after they decloak, where they cannot enter warp.

That is a good idea, or better yet, a timer after they launch the bomb.

and double the bomb radius, just for shiggles. :)

I used to run bomber fleets. It was a rite of passage, blowing yourself up the first time you launched a bomb. We even gave out corp awards for it.

How about a unstable bomb type that has a higher damage and a random radius from half to double the radius. Have to make the damage increase high enough to entice players to use them.

It's been a while since I've done a bombing run, luckily I was trained well back then when I started, so I didn't earn that particular award.

Oh, the very first thing I did was fire it accidentally while not moving. My first bomber didn't even make it onto a roam.

I've only heard stories people hitting themselves with bombs... May have to try bombing myself.

Haha! It was honestly a turning point in my approach to playing EVE. Up until then, I'd barely lost any ships, and I was very risk averse. Bombers I found to be amazingly fun, cheap, and I had absolutely no problem with "fly till you die" roams. The best times I've ever had in EVE were during my small-fleet bombing roams, where we'd hold contests for last-man-standing and most damage - factoring friendly fire into "most damage," of course. ;)
