safe emp exploit? (video)

[Lunchbox486]

i found that if you get within 3m of your emp bomb, then set it off, it won't make the station aggro on you

bug?

My general experience is that if no station ships, drones or surface elements (eg turret or shield) are in line-of-sight or range to be affected by the EMP then there is a good chance that station will not react to its use. I was certainly more than 3m away from the bomb each time.

I find that if one recalls to a ship to detonate the EMP it will always be "safe" and not agro the station. I have set off dozens like this and it has been a long time since a station went red.
