Well smart bombs are different from constant damage calculations in all of new eden.
Smartbombs are not always going off
People are always bumping/exploding next to eachother. Look at the constant bumping in incursions for example. Ships are always exploding right on top of the fleets. (NPC sansha) It adds up and its a real strain.
Is this a secret ânerf lowsecâ thread? I guess itâs no surprise once high sec was made safer, people would begin begging to make lowsec safer.
OP, you already can do what you want to have your âlowsec alertsâ and âmercenary escortsâ:
Use d-scan to detect combat probes. If you see >4 of them within 1AU D-Scan of you, youâre being hunted. Mashing the âvâ button.
Right click name and show info: You can see their sec status. Not that it helps anyway since a lot of us âlowsec ganker muggersâ bribe the corrupt CONCORD and tag up.
You can Ctrl+A the list of names in local to highlight them all, that way when anyone new shows up, they arenât highlighted, and you know exactly who you need to âright click name and show infoâ on.
You can pay the local pirates in lowsec to be your Mercenary protection to escort you in/through lowsec. Player interaction in an MMO! Awesome thing.
