Ability to use Bombs in low security

Hello, I was wondering if it would every be possible to use bombs in low security or even high security space. Now I know what you are thinking, "WHAT THE HELL? ARE YOU MENTALLY UNSTABLE?" but think of it this way, it can be easily controlled just like when you fire a missile in high sec.

When you fire a bomb you dont have to lock them, you just fire away in the direction you want it to fly. So just like you have the choice to fire missiles in high and low security space, you should be able to fire bombs. Concord could be upgraded so they have defender missiles for instance and they could easily shoot the bomb down before it detonates. I believe that would give me more power to make my own decisions in the game and reap from the choices whether they are positive or negative.

Just an idea, thought it would be kinda cool, If anything I do believe that concord being able to shoot defender missiles is a good idea, that would significantly reduce ganking.


Any feedback would be appreciated gentlemen and ladies

Why is this necessary?

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

It would be nice if you could override the restriction with something negative as a result ( perhaps an insane sec drop or something )

Great title. Wretched OP.

1. Leave highsec out of it.

2. Leave defender missiles out of it.

3. Until a bomb explodes, the SB hasn't aggressed anyone. It's not a targeted weapon system such that module activation would constitute aggression against the target.

What's the reason for restricting bombs from lowsec, anyway? Isn't the space distinct enough from the ban on bubbles?

I presume bombs are banned from LS because your pod is supposedto be (relatively) safe there.

Bubbles are pretty much the only way to protect you from/catch a well executed bombing run.

Bombing wings in LS would be pretty close to invincible and unstoppable.

Well thanks anyways for your feedback guys, I guess it would be OP if you could launch bombs in high for sure. But why say no to defender missiles on concord? and also you could make that whenever you pressed the launch bomb module that you were aggressing someone. I think that would not be that difficult of a fix
