With the upcoming Shiva patch and Player owned stations how about bringing in the the ablitity to conduct Terrorist style attacks. Pack your indy full of explosives, dock it, and detonate it. I doubt this would actually destroy the station but it could cause considerable damage.
These kind of ships could also serve other purposes. It could be used as a Breaching Charge on the other side of a stargate. Another corp has a gate covered and they just waxed your recon team....send an Indy bomb through to clear the area.
Both of these scenarios would mean that a pilot commits sucide.....but that is what clones are for. Unless, of course, you could remotely detonate it.

Bad idea! I am sure that most respectable folks will agree with me on this one. But acting out terrorist activities (even though it is a game) is a wee bit distasteful especially in light of what kind of events are taking place in the world.
Sorry, just digging for the right words but this idea just doesn't gel right with me.

Actaully this is a good idea, a breaching charge at a gate would be outstanding. Think of it as a bangalore that you can push through. If only for he shock value alone then the follow on forces will be able to capatilize on the disruption. I can see it now a fleet fighting a long range battle keeping hte defenders off balance long enough to send that slow Badger Bomb up to the gate.

You would get Badger bombs deployed at Gates, like suicide Kestrels are now -- and everyone would complain.

Now this is a good idea, tho indys would give rise to exploits cus of the cheapness.... unless the explosives due to size + blackmarket-ness (need a blackmarket) cost an extortionate amount of money liiike the price of an apoc for eg then u wouldnt get suicide kestral style attacks itd be a planned and carefully organised attack, also these would need the protection cus an indy carrying THAT much explosives with so little armour could go BOOM if shot hehe.
I like the idea of the station explosives tho it should be a sort of EMP charge that shuts down a certain facility... like sentrygun power, for a short time
Breaching charge would be funny but shouldnt be massivly damaging possibly killing frigs outright but 1/4 damaging a bs and cruisers somewhere in the middle but it could have a massive blast so it gets about 20km radius..... however pirates might complain if that armada on the other side of the gate which they outnumbered just half blew them up hehe.

A totally non-productive post (as probably this is as well):
He's entitled to his opinion, and so are you (and me!). No need to call him names, just say "I don't agree. I don't think terrorism in a game will inspire IRL terrorism.".
IMHO, the "exploit" potential of suicide indys out-weigh their use so I'm against the idea.
