The four most common bomb types deal large amounts of a single type of damage, and so are most effective when the enemy's fleet composition is known before deployment. Each of these bombs deals a base of 5800 damage of their respective type, which can be further increased by ship bonuses. Bomb damage scales based on the size of a target's signature radius (they have a fixed explosion radius of 400m) and is also mitigated by damage resistances as normal. Unlike missiles, the speed of a target does not influence the applied damage. | ||

A frigate that has an MWD on at the moment of detonation is likely to die to one bomb, however, because of the MWD's signature-quintupling side effect. The deployment of a target painter also serves to increase the signature radius of the targeted ship. | A frigate that has an MWD on at the moment of detonation is likely to die to one bomb, however, because of the MWD's signature-quintupling side effect.

On 2022-03-08 bomb damage got increased from 5200 to 5800 to compensate for the resist module stat increase in the same patch. At the same time bomb armor HP got increased from 75 to 88 apparently so that the same bomb run sizes remain possible.<ref>https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-20-03</ref> | |||
