Theres no rules written anywhere dictating where you can and cannot place a bubble as far as I know m8. We usually have great success placing ours behind the gate and haven't been warned/banned over it.

If it has to be explained then you dont understand,
It was a big point of contention a while back.

It's really a bug with the bubbles...but everyone that knows about it uses it, and it's pretty much accepted. So technically, yes its an exploit. Most people don't consider it to be.

ridicilous question really so why do you even wonder enough to post it?
if it would be called a exploit then how many petitions would they get from people coming from the other side seing as it would be behind the gate for them.

If you have a gate to gate bm, aproach the bookmark and launch the bubble there, works a dream
If you happen to have you enemy alliance bms it works all the time

if bubbles worked properly people wouldnt have to put them beyond a gate. but they dont so people do.

Wrong, technically it's not an exploit.
'Technically' people shouldn't warp through mobile warp disruptors, but sadly sometimes they do unintentionally. That's a bug, not intentionally abused and therefor not an exploit neither.
I'm not even sure they are still bugged, I think they've fixed them.
Work everytime I put them in front of a stargate.

placing warp bubles behind a gate is as much an exploit of game mechanics as insta-jumps.

Not saying you're pointing out the obvious but surely your entire point here is redundant...
Thats like saying 'If you have to scratch then you have an itch'. Well duh.

Lol. Nicely put. I dont think its considered an exploit but its a shady area i think.

I've seen it vary between 15km and 30km with the same result. The important thing is the alignment to the originating stargate that you want to tackle people coming from.
It's funnier than hell watching anyone who warps in to the gate from any distance up to 100kms get sucked into the vortex of the bubble lolz

Hmm, we play in 3-dimensional space that extends infinitely in all directions, so this notion of "behind" is only relative, and not enforcible to begin with.

if it was an exploit then this thread would have been locked, as we r not aloud to talk about exploits on this fourm, and trust me find a bubble loose ur ship and pertion it, u wont get anywhere,

Let's suppose that bubbles worked the way that everyone expects them to. You place a bubble between the gates, say about 120km in front of the destination gate. Anyone warping from one gate to the other (and whose path passes through the bubble) drops out of warp when they hit the bubble, and are ~120km from here they thought they would be. The gate campers sitting next to the bubble wtfpwn the unfortunate pilot that got caught. I think that sums up how everyone thinks they should work?
The problem is that bubbles didn't always pull people out of warp (has this been fixed yet?). Placing a bubble behind a gate has the same result as that *described* for bubbles - people get pulled out of warp in the middle of the campers, and are prevented from using their insta-jump BMs. I don't see any problem with that, even if it is creative use of an undocumented feature. It would be a problem if placing a bubble behind a gate let you do something else that you shouldn't be able to, but I don't think it does?
Having said all that, I think that bubbles should be fixed so that they work as per their description, or that their description is changed to reflect the way that they work.
Now, can anyone tell me why my warp scrambler doesn't act like a tractor beam?
