Smartbombs are a high slot module, often fitted to Battleships, that deal an area of effect damage. The benefit that smartbombs provide to Gate Campers is that they do not need to lock a target to damage their target. A Gate Camper will often sit with their Battleship aligned between two Gates and use D-Scan to tell when a weaker target is in warp to them, such as a Shuttle or a Frigate. They are one of the main reasons why we do not recommend using a Shuttle to travel to the NSC as you can be killed instantly. Another benefit for Gate Campers is that Smartbombs will also kill the targets pod before they can warp out. The two main ways to avoid Smartbombing is to use tactical [[bookmarks]] so that you do not land in the area of effect, and to ensure that you have at least a little tank fitted to your ship to survive should you somehow still find yourself inside the damage area.
