Bombs are a fun thing in 0.0 but SB tend to be pretty limited in lowsec and even more in hi sec, I have recently looked at the mechanics of bombs and feel they should be allowed to be launched in all space however concord IF they can shoot the ship will also shoot and destroy the bomb meaning people wont really be allowed to randomly grief.

How would this help people?

PvPers will be allowed to use this for heavy engagements, SB are nice for smaller corps / alliances so these will work fine when at war.

Due to the loss of T2 ships a person will have to decide if the sacrifice is worth it

What about griefers?

As stated concord will shoot the bomb(s) and player if they see it launched, we need to give permission to players to ALLOW bombs in hi sec not just restrict.

Where would bombs be used?

A player would have to be away from concorde in order to use this correctly meaning it will be best suited for pos warfare

What about low sec?

Low sec guns will shoot bombs but will not always destroy it, so camping will still be possible although gate guns will fry your SB

What about missions?

Bombs will be allowed on NPC rats, however to prevent abuse, bombs will instantly cause rats to change targets and depending on how many rats are there will most likely succeed in destroying the bomb(s) and SB (assuming it failed at warping.

However any damage dealt to a neut structure / person will ofc cause you to get aggro from concord (like if you hit an accel gate)

What about carebears?

Bombs will encourage the use of transports with defence mods, assuming this isnt at gates / concord camped areas (stations etc) there should be no real way to get away with launching bombs at gates / stations because of concord but that doesnt mean we should allow people to use them

This wont harm players at all even an inty without mwd can evade a bomb
