Likes received: 5	#1 - 2015-06-30 09:50:42 UTC soo serious question CCP Why can we Smartbomb on Gate gates and not Acceleration gates?... why can we smartbomb near gates anyways?? Are accel gates the only thing other then Stations? we can't use Smartbombs on? cuz if so thats honestly... rediculess... And maybe pods shouldn't die to 1 smartbomb? but thats not the point.

Pods don't die to 1 smartbomb.

Also wormholes are really the only thing that you can't smartbomb on due to arbitrary range limitations. Stations, gates, and acceleration gates you can smartbomb, your smartbomb just can't hit the object, you have to be on the edge of your smartbomb range.

In the case of stations and acceleration gates, the problem lies in the fact that some stations have MASSIVE 'hitboxes' meaning their docking radius extends far past the model of the actual station, so you can be 100km from a buddy on the opposite side of the station but still be at '0' on the station. This also applies to acceleration gates making smartbombing them much harder. This large hitbox most likely exists to allow easier interaction with stations/acceleration gates. However it is possible to smartbomb people on station/acceleration gates it's just rather difficult.
