Content Suggestion Reduce the 1000lb bomb Cooldown & Cost

[Ronin]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Reduce 1000lb bomb cooldown to 45 Minutes from 2 Hours & Reduce the cost from $2,000,000 to $1,000,000

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- More use of it on SCPs
- The suggestion would make it a viable option for us to use in combat.
- Leans more into the Air Support Element that GOC has.
- Does not take up any precious Dev time as it can be configured in game.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- CI Base could be hit every Raid during a war which may become tedious but due to the UNGOC Raid Cooldown of 60 minutes it would not be too much of an issue.
- More for SCPs to fight to get on and stay on surface.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
In it's current state the 1000lb bomb really holds no use in actual Combat. It takes too long to deploy, it costs too much and you can only use it once every 2 Hours. In only other way I could think of balancing the 1000lb without buffing it is adding more items such as Napalm, Mortars & Artillery. However I am not sure these would be agreed to.

nah, make it the £1000 bomb instead

 

[The Guardian]

Cooldown yes, cost no, make it hurt more against SCPs or make it deploy faster.

Also, move GM plane so it doesn't land on GM plane instead of intended target.

 

[Charles "Ze" Whitmee]

Not bad honestly. Go for it.

I'd + Support this

Issue isn't cost as much as the deployment time is

B-but. I like having to wait 30 seconds, meaning by then whatever I was trying to hit is well out of its radius!

I believe my first comment was deleted due to its lack of critical feedback. I apologise for this and will now thoroughly write my new critique.

-I believe the poster of this suggestion, Cheesy, should relinquish his right to speak after the creation of this suggestion. This is due to a multitude of reasons, such as the cool-down reduction to 45 minutes - The same as a Main Raid cooldown, which would allow persistent use of the 1000LB bomb each raid they conduct. This would be especially detrimental to the Chaos Insurgency, as the bomb would atomise their base.
Furthermore the GOC already have trillions upon trillions in their war funds as of current, and as such a price reduction would be a pointless buff with no reason to it but to keep the rich afloat.
Overall I disagree with Cheesy’s suggestion, and believe he should cease communication before reading the communist manifesto as to readjust his current view points to the times.

reduce the cooldown but give GOC a cap on their funds so it's not overused

 

[Joris Kilotoviz/London]

All the people -Supporting this have clearly never tried to hit something with the 1,000lb bomb. The actual deploy time needs a serious nerf

 

[Joris Kilotoviz/London]

Cost and cooldown don't really need a nerf. But when you consider just how much can happen in the 30 seconds the bomb takes to hit (Excluding the times it hits GM plains or just doesn't go off) then it's a major downside, that renders the bomb all but useless.

The deployment time is unable to be changed ( without dev time ) however the cooldown can be.

Honestly the cooldown isn't a problem. It's absolutely decimates, and shortening the CD means it can destroy every raid instead of every other raid.

Do agree devs need to look at deployment time though.
