So I just decided playing with my stealth bomber around the pos, spent 15 mins bumping an AFK drake outside shields then shot a bomb at it. did 40% shield damage after 2 painters, all ok.
10 minutes later when another guy decided to jump on his rapier he had inside the shield - WTF? it's gone. Wrecks were there, the bomb I shot insta-popped the rapier, a zephyr, a cormorant and two bestowers INSIDE the POS shield. A geddon sitting nearby got to 30% armor as well. Bomb was fired at around 30k outside the force field, and the ships were in the 15k bomb range.
Got screenshots of wrecks inside force field, and kill mails as proof.
Is this a fail? Or it's actually meant to be work this? I haven't seen this documented anywhere though, and the CCP-advertised POS shield says or tries to say anything inside POS shield is invulnerable as long as the force field is up.
Thinking ahead, 30-40 stealth bombers could insta pop pretty much anything sitting inside a force field, including maybe carriers or perhaps orcas or rorquals which aren't tanked too much, and worse case scenario you lose a few 50 mil T2 frigs.

Sorry to ask, but how did you see how much hp the geddon had left if it was behind pos shields?

The guy who lost the rapier and other stuff started *****ing in local. It could be BS, but I think he had an almost zero tank geddon setup.
I've petitioned this thing, will upload shots somewhere and post link here.

Used 2 work when bombers first came out. Used to be able to launch from inside pos shields out also but ccp fixed that. Maybe dominion screw up code erroneously opened this up again. Bombs will enter pos shields and damage tower tho.

Until it is declared an exploit, we can assume it is an intended mechanic....
BOMBS AWAY BOYS!!!
*Hey can you see if the pos modules inside are taking damage too, like the shield hardeners?

Ya everything inside pos force field takes damage if its in the 15k bomb range!
And i reckon parked ships take MOST damage because without a pilot in they have no resists no nothing!
Also bombs dmg depends on ship sig radius => some XX bombs = BBQ damage on capital parked with no pilot?!??!?!
ISK for fraps!
