I'll apologize beforehand for ignorance, but trying to figure things out before I take the plunge, because I'm a bit OCD, when I'm in, I'm all in. So, I'm trying to understand last night's huge battle in BDV3-T. Spais? Boredom? Need help here.

Fuckin' love shooting blues.
Anyone who fires an AoE weapon (like a smart bomb, a bomb, or a bubble) will tend to end up on the killmails for their allies. (I've even been on my own killmails) If enough people do this, the killboard gets very confused on who is on which side of the battle. This also happened with the TEST killboard last night.
Anybody that does damage to the ship that died gets on the killmail and gets credit. So if 100 different alliances all get someone on the mail, they'll all have the kill on their killboard, no matter who gets the final blow.
This also means that friendlies can get on killmails if someone accidently shoots a blue or area affect weapons like smartbombs does damage to friendlies.
i got on 65 killmails on the BDV op in my scorpion.
5 were hostile, 60 were blues...
there were 5 blues on my own deathmail + 2 enemy titans >.<
Because we suck at pvp. We're not kidding.
:welp:
Scorpions firing smartbombs. Smartbombs are for defense against fighters, and we got attacked by carriers. Smartbombs also damage nearby allies (though clearly, if you see the damage numbers on the killboards, not much). I think Alina Wize got the award for being on 82 killmails.
How well do the smartbombs work for anti fighter weapons?
doesn't always kill them, but they're just expensive enough to get them withdrawn if you're lucky. unless you just say fuck it and fill your high slots. (tip: this is what all the bestest eve players do)
The reason smartbombs were used in bdv was because we had a blue dictor from break bubble us in and we used the sb to kill the bubble
