Smartbombs are different than most damage-dealing ship modules for two reasons. As already mentioned, smartbombs do not use hardpoints. Secondly, they are not targeted, much like [[bombs]]. However, unlike bombs, ~~smartbombs are not launched to move forward before then exploding to damage everything in~~ the ~~area of affect. Instead,~~ the ship ~~itself is the epicentre of the explosion~~, ~~damaging everything~~ within the explosion radius, apart from the ship which used the smartbomb.

Smartbombs are different than most damage-dealing ship modules for two reasons. As already mentioned, smartbombs do not use hardpoints, like turrets or missile launchers. Secondly, they are not targeted, much like [[bombs]]. However, unlike bombs, the explosion they create originates from the ship, rather than a launched warhead. They damage all ships within the explosion radius apart from the ship which used the smartbomb.

Both friends and foes are damaged by smartbombs. Care must ~~also~~ be taken in high and low security space not to unintentionally damage structures or ships protected by CONCORD, since this will affect ~~your~~ security status and ~~may also~~ result in CONCORD intervention (~~read: they'll blow you up if you're in high sec~~). ~~It's also worth mentioning that your~~ own drones, if they are within range, will also be damaged. In order to ~~even use~~ smartbombs in high security space, you need to set your [[safety settings]] to red.

Both friends and foes are damaged by smartbombs. Care must be taken in high and low security space not to unintentionally damage structures or ships protected by CONCORD, since this will affect the user's security status, and in high security will result in CONCORD intervention (ie. the destruction of the offending ship). Your own drones, if they are within range, will also be damaged by a smartbomb. In order to activate smartbombs in high security space, you need to set your [[safety settings]] to red.
