The idea is similar to Synth boosters (which are allowed in empire space), you would have nerfed bombs that would be allowed in Empire Space. Even if they were slightly better than a large smartbomb, they would give bombers a very interesting use in high-sec warfare and low-sec gatecamps.

until your bomb accidentally hits someone neutral and you get concorded . . . seriously nobody uses smartbombs in high sec for a reason, bombs would be worse than useless.

In high-sec you could use it to say clear a POS bash, the real value of these would be in low-sec. I would use them constantly in low-sec.

Imo the only thing bombers could use to be great in high/low sec is a 4th launcher slot.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

That would be a nice improvement as well.

Bombs in highsec would create very interesting suicide runs... they could essentially whipe out all the ships on the undock of Jita IV-IV, or destroy all those ships sitting around a gate as they afk'd to a destination...

There are many good uses of bombs, just like there are many good uses of bubbles... I think having limited versions of both of these for empire space would be interesting...

Jita bomb really opens up the possibilities there...
