Well, many believe this 'Worm Hole' bombing cant be done, due to the complication involved on spotting the WH, but no. It realy can be done..So tell me, how is this a 'valid' tactic in Darkspace? What,because it's "Part of the Game"? Im sure faustus never ment for people to be able to level a planet six systems away, without stepping into the system..
-
--------View from Nav map, showing it coming from the enemy held Lalande-----------
--------Showing how close the wormhole is to the planet, maybe 30gu away---------
So tell me..How is this a rightfull tactic? No way to prevent it..Maybe faust should look into fixing this, along with other problems..

It's true. I see no 'bomb' diamonds at all..
all I see is a really close wormhole.

Guys are so technical.  I don't know why you deny it now that you do it, as many ICC have already admitted to doing it before.
In any case, why was an ICC wormhole sent there? Its impossible to get a wormhole to land that close to a planet unless your specifically aiming to (or a glitch which sends it way off ). So why would it be there in the first place?

Also, feel free to ask Obiwan ( The Fallen One) about it, bombs did come out the wrong way once, the others hit

I have witnessed ICC wh bombing several times in the past, it can be done easily, as long as you get the wh in the right place....Also, if the WH is that close to the planet, there is no way to get a screenshot of the bombs because as was stated, they hit IMMEDIATELY upon exiting the wh. The ICC have the best bombing ship in the game, the bomber dread with all the bombs it carries it can level a full planet in one run with no problems at all, other than its armor and shielding are somewhat lacking. However, all it takes to compensate for this is a couple of other ships assisting it. Really guys, there is no need for wh bombing from ANY faction. Luth can easily bomb any planet, UGTO can easily bomb any planet, and ICC can also, this has been proven many thousands of times in the last few weeks. WH bombing from any faction is just a very cheap way of getting great pres with no danger of losing a ship. I lost a lot of bombers before I learned how to bomb in this version, but I did learn, and got very good at it. Anyone else can also, with just a little practice.

i can vouch for that wh bombing cause there was about 3 stray ones and one of them did hit me in the process. that is probably the cheapest tactic i have seen anyone do.
