To clarify some of the recent questions pertaining to COB and misuse of the Shipyards for bombing We are posting the following information:

This was Posted by Teal in another thread:

As for all the banter about the CoB issue and how it should be handled... Its simple, the 100gu limit to target was put in for a reason. The last code patch to release cause a bug in the arming code which enabled an exploit. No game company anywhere accepts and endorses any bug or exploit. They all take action in various means. Many just simply ban you permanently without any warnings or recourse. We give warnings and a serries of actions before we permanently bar someone. As we are more willing to talk to the community, more people try to decry any actions that would have someone instantly banned and their CD Key blocked in any other system. As such, we have stated our possition, and will continue to enforce the RoC and penalize anyone found using this or any exploit. We will not concede nor entertain any banter regarding our Policy as we are already far more tolerant than most other companys out there.

The issue has been addressed, but until the entire 1.483 code base is ready to be released, we can not release this one fix. As such we are working dilligently to complete the update as quickly as possible. As a second thought, to ensure it can not be exploited, the system has been changed so that bombs will not fire below the minimum distance, and no matter what, def base fire, self detonation, impact... they will not explode if their arming timer has not expired.

Thus targetting past a planet or trying to self detonate them will not work. (End of Post).

As for the repeated crashing of bombers into the planet. This is misuse of the Shipyard. Shipyards were designed to allow for Spawning and Modding of Ships in a very large MV. Players who use the Shipyard to repetedly take out ships in short repetition just to fly them into planets or other players are clearly using the SY for something it is not designed for.
