EVE General Discussion

Can I use smartbombs in highsec without getting concorded?

I am aware of the safety options and to even activate it I have to go safety red, so I assumed this ment instant concordokken upon activation,

Or may I use smartbombs, just have to go safety red, but as long as I hit no other capsuleer/structure concord wont show up?

The latter. However, there is really no reason to ever use them in highsec that doesn't involve CONCORD coming to get you anyway so you'd want to turn the safeties off regardless…

Smartbombing a WT's mining fleet :)


Thanks for the helpful answers guys

Just remember that warping in one neutral alt whilst these are running will get you concorded and that i why safety red is needed to activate. also fraps the kills and if you have a spy inside the war targets corp get them to record comms so you can splice their comms to your video.

I can think of one. This should be of interest to the OP too.

Amusing for sure, but that involved CONCORD.

Yes! Yes, I do! What's so funny?

My bad , you can't deny it's an appropriate use of smarties in highsec though

Ya know, it kind of sucks that concord has to exist. They're essentially like, NPC guards who show up to protect people who don't feel like employing the methods necessary to ensure their own survivability. Why should an entire safe guard exist designed towards showing up to "save" people be in place when all it does is limit the potential of others wanting to have fun?

This is a game where, granted, you get to choose what it is you wish to do, but that doesn't mean you should be able to do it without feeling that at any point in time someone can show up and take advantage of whatever situation you've put yourself in.

But then, to focus on the fact that we all get to choose just how we wish to play this "define your own goals" game of EvE we all play, sadly there exists a type of people who put their own desire to have fun above others and care so little about those they abuse that they don't even care about their personal feelings.

So Concord has to exist not to punish you for accidentally setting off your smart bomb you meant to kill NPCs in high sec with, but to protect you from the people who would abuse using smart bombs to prove that through their actions they are bad people.

Because bad people exist, Concord has to as well, and show up when you make a simple mistake such as blowing up an innocent guy with your accidentally misplaced smart bomb.

Blame the bad people, they ruin everything.
