The new Whom-pahs models are cool, but they don't fit as well in Omni cities compared to the original ones. They are perfect for Clan/Neutral cities though.

In Omni Shire (place where the Omni subway is located etc) there are also anti-air/spacecraft huge cannons that fire a beam into space from time to time (or a bit more towards Galway (or however it's spelled)) I believe.
That beam effect whenever a person uses the (new) whoompa and a few antennas then we have a deal

To address these points for you:
Jobe Platform, Harbor, Plaza and Market are all located above Rubi-Ka.
Plaza and Market are connected to the Shadowlands via the small, blue trans-dimensional portals. Harbor is connected by a larger portal. The Door that separates Jobe Research from Jobe Harbor is the barrier between dimensions since the portal was removed by development.
As for the kits - They're designed to only work in Shadowlands Zones, and since all parts of Jobe are Shadowlands Expansion Zones, they'll work there. This is a violation of Lore based on Game Mechanics.
Jobe's Survival is generally tossed in with "Why isn't Morningstar Station Destroyed?" or "Why isn't Sunrise Station Destroyed?". The Easiest way to explain this is the direct involvement of the Omni-Tek Naval Forces. They're in space fighting the aliens which are keeping the Stations protected as well as keeping Shipping Lanes open.It also makes me wonder, even more, why Jobe didn't get blown to pieces by the aliens since its orbiting the planet... also, why can't we see Jobe from the battlestations?
Jobe's unvisibility i'm not clear of. It could be that it's low enough in the atmosphere that isn't not visible, or, it's simply not visible from the viewing angles on the Battle Stations. More likely tho, it was a design oversight.
That's what we're trying to do in the Fourth Wall. Stop by any time with Lore & RP questions, we'd be happy to assist you.I'm sure I'm missing something about the story.. that's one aspect of the game that I feel has always been a fail. In a MMORPG, the storyline should be crystal clear if you bother to play the game.. I've done every quest and such a dozen times and still feel clueless on what's actually going on.

What would make it float over rather than being an inside out world under the soil of RK? Much like the tales of jules verne? :P

Go here http://www.rpgamer.com/games/ao/ao/aoart.html and take a look at the concept art for Kaneko Gardens, Inside the Gateway and the Jobe Administrators Estate. Based on the original concept art for Jobe i think it was supposed to be on the ground in a RK zone.
What we got looks like a last minute thrown together jumble of random rooms and NPC's that all say the same thing. Jobe could have been beautiful if they'd bothered to spend a little more time and effort on it.

To be fair, it came along with SL which was a huge expansion and I wonder whether you would still want Jobe to be prettier if it meant less time spent on the pvm zones. But I too remember being very disappointed in it at SL launch. I had something very different in mind from reading the descriptions on Jobe clusters and nanos, something more academic/lab-like perhaps. They ended up fitting it to the whole fantasy orientation of SL though.

You tit! I soiled my armour I was so scared!
Look, that leet's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Certainly it was shown on the original map as an island, and described as such, there was also to be a Jobe outpost in The Reck (see this and the Jobe link).
I'm not sure when the concept was changed to a floating city, though I'm sure it was described as such somewhere before SL launched...

FC should remake all of Jobe, make it into one zone and change the way it looks now. Would be neat with a possible hang spot while you're waiting for teams (could even make more portals if you have either the garden key or the ring to enter that zone :O)

So, how´s the STEAM release going? Did we forget about that? Or AO is so awesomely populated that it doesn´t need the space in there?
See this thread for that conversation. Short answer: There are still technical problems.
