EXPLODING DRONES 💥

Ok, exploding drones.

:collision:

One use.

They explode and cause area of effect damage. They are bombs, which can travel to and orbit a target. You can detonate them all at once with one hotkey, giving you greater instantaneous alpha damage. Any balance issues can be mitigated by adjusting cost and fitting.

Jita will be glorious. Orbit ‘bomb anchors’ and explode when targets pass.

love to see what cost you would consider to mitigate the potential,

Didn’t you serve on the CSM?

1 billion isk sounds fair for 30 bombs, each doing 10000 damage.

I like the idea.

One question: how many drone explosions can an exploding drone take before being destroyed?

To look at a similar example, launched bombs have resistances to their own type. A kinetic bomb for example can survive 6 other kinetic bonvs exploding, but dies at the 7th, or at the first bomb of a different damage type.

Drones too are vulnerable to area-of-effect weapons, and should be.

So how many of their own drone explosions should they be able to tank befire dying? 4, to enable a full flight of 5?

I was thinking if one explodes, they all do.

Kamikaze drones. Maybe made from the new mats found in the drone fabrication sites?

Another option is to expand the Deathless ship line and have a few different types of pods, ie: kamikaze (boom!), leech (energy), troop (boarding/capture), loot (steal cargo), etc.

Sansha Shadow heavy fighters want a word.

Daisy chain explosions . . . nasty. I want one or two drones that can explode of extra large fireworks.

or a drone that is an emp burst, all cap gone within radius, all locks lost.

We already have bombs, which do this, y’all are just bad at aiming bombs.

Git gud!

No bombs in high-sec - just smartbombs!

So this is an attempt to backdoor bombs into highsec, that doesn’t make it any better.

I have no idea what this is an attempt of…

Which is why I have to tell you

The chances of FC actually reading any of these forum threads is basically <0.0001%.

Add the tech to something you can put in the hold of a shuttle. Literal Kamakazi. But there should be no corpse. Vaporized.

This should be your number one CSM campaign promise and priority if elected into office. :thinking:

Yes, you should be able to fit one in a shuttle, and then you can detonate it!

To the best of my knowledge there are no mines either but that would be fun too.
