But exploiting friendly fire to get an aggro timer so they could risk free kill a logged off titan? That's pure lame on BoB's part. While it might be a valid kill, it was way low class of BoB to resort to that kind of thing to kill another titan.
100% agree
200% agree on that

After the new evidence it seems to be legit kill considering the mechanics, HOWEVER
The aggro timer IS MEANT TO BE A WAY TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR YOU TO RUN FROM HOSTILES - NOT FRIENDLIES, esp gang mates! Also if Damage Messages are off which they often there's little in the way of indication of smartbomb aggro.
I'd like to congratulate BoB for genious use of mechanics and CCP for recognizing that creative mechanics and meta gaming is where EVE shines, not the actually laggy fleet combat using absurdly slow python based code which is no way suitable for anything but turn based game user interfaces. 
(unrelated to this kill)
I also believe it is about time to make logging off at POS shields not warp you around because we've seen that it's possible that your ship will warp off and get sucked into nearby hostile POS. That wouldn't kill a Titan but has killed countless battleships logged off at friendly POSs recently.
Since spying and corp theft are clearly allowed, nay, encouraged by CCP, please explain why being in the same alliance as someone makes them 'friendly'? The whole point is he wasnt friendly, he was hostile, noone in D2 had realised yet.
Regarding the POS thing I agree.
Even when the person behind the spy is hostile, you are still in the same corp / alliance as the Titan pilot, so that doesn't count.

So people are complaining that BoB used game mechanics to get a kill? Ever had a covert ops hunt down an aggrod pilot for you to warp and kill? It's the same mechanic.
No it's not the same mechanics. Because it's another story when a hostile cov ops is going after a ship. This time is about a friendly one that are in the same corp / alliance that aggroed the titan pilot when he didn't know that, or some few secs before he logged off, so BoC could kill the Titan while the pilot was logged off.
It's something different to scan down a hostile ship in a safespot since he's sitting there when he's logged on, and then he can be probed.
