why aren't bombs allowed to be used in High/low sec area?

I would like to know from gm of ccp if possible the reason for banning Bombs in High/low sec. Specially since if you kill someone you get concorded anyway. Isn't the use of bombs just another tool to be used by gankers. I would think that at least in Low sec you should be allowed to use them.

This would be pretty awesome, I have to admit. Although I'd kill my sec status pretty damn fast...

I imagine the reason no bombs in jita is something to do with the lag it'd cause.

Also, CCP's playerbase is mainly Goons/Carebears, and theres lot of them in jita.. so dont want them unsubbing... :/

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Maybe if you keep on about it, they may bring out "snowbomb launchers" for next xmas Blink

You mean like buffing destroyers and introducing miniature battleships? Indy/Miners shat bricks when that happened.

We need bombs. Bigger ******* bombs. And not the smart variety.

You cant be very good at ganking then if you need even more ways to do it! Is this similar to the "easy probe button" thread ive read recently? You want an "easy gank" button to? Roll

No, you need to move yourself to other areas of the game where you can do that without a single consequence.

Move to null sec of Wh, there are plenty of guys to bomb&gank, why are you so afraid of moving there?

I think that happened. It was one of the reasons bombs were turned off for high sec. Not sure about low sec.

Cannot smartbomb too close to undock or too close to stations, however could you imagine bomb dropping in low, camp the hi side tell your mates what's coming thru drop bomb and insta gank there would be no end to all the lows that would be camped.
