stoicfaux your ideas are kinda cool, but please don't hijack this thread ;)

As for the main idea: Bombs yes, Bubbles no.
People go to highsec/lowsec because they don't like bubbles, don't force them on them.
I hate bubbles, especially the whole "catch bubble" mechanic, where a bubble on the same grid can make you fall out of warp 100km behind the position you warped to. Still, here is my idea for anchorable bubbles in highsec: They are always flashy red, allowing anyone to shoot them while they set up, and once they are up they could get instant aggression from faction police (they show up 10 secs after it onlines and start shooting the bubble).

Alice: Geez, Bob, you taunted the Goons and now they want to kill you. Bob: Should I call the police? Alice: In game, Bob, kill you in game. Bob: Ah, so petition it and call the police?

bombs in highsec yeah that sounds like a plan

All that would happen is that a bomb would hit the entrance of Jita 4/4 ever 30 seconds from here to the end of EVE

Sorry.

No to bombs unless there's a super-huge penalty for using them. However, even with a huge penalty, it takes just ~23 days to train up a pilot to fly a bomber with nothing but a bomb launcher, making them potentially throw away chars. So, a 'no' even with a super-huge penalty.

Bubbles would be a 'no' as well. It just doesn't make sense to allow indiscriminate collateral damage/effect type modules in high-sec. (Smart bombs are somewhat controlled by their limited range and difficulty in using them en masse.)

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.

There's a reason mines can't be used anymore..

Although bobms in lowsec seem fine to me
