My search skills suck, but I did try.
I understand that placing a bubble in line behind a gate will cause a ship on that path to be drawn into the bubble.......
The question I have is, were someone to fix a position at some midway point between two gates, or a POS and a gate, or any other such example, and at that point in space, anchor a bubble, would a ship passing along that line be pulled out of warp into the bubble like a fly in a flytrap?
Or does this only work at the terminus of a warp line?

My understanding is that it only works at the terminus. I base this on when they first were released I was hoping that the midwarp option would be the way they worked and being told that it was not :-(
On a side note, I do think that the mid warp option would be cool and allow combat to move away from gates, belts and stations but the main issue would be ballance I guess, I mean being pulled from warp early into a camp for 20 people would be no fun whatsoever....well for the 'fly' anyway.

No it won't work - it used to IIRC but its a bit overpowered that way.
Your landing point has to be on the same grid as the bubble for the bubble to have any effect.

Hmmm. I wonder, then, if CCP would be in some way amenable to a change in attitude now? Station camping and gate games are boring beyond belief, and traveling through nullsec should, by nature, be a bit more hazardous than simply scouting the gates.
The universe is a big, nasty, scary place. Let the once who mean to do harm have more freedom in where they choose to do that harm, I say.
Lots of space in a system. Let us use it.

No, it's a terrible idea. And it won't be implemented.
So...no. ____________

Confirming that it only works at endpoints. The only exception are cats, which are able to bubble camp anywhere in system.

Great tutorial, I wonder why he never made any others.

I was wondering this and tried it out the other day. The ship warped straight through the bubble and continued on so it must only work on the same grid from where you start or finish warping.
I've been caught in sling bubbles before, I wondered how they worked...

To be caught in a bubble, you need to be either
1) inside the bubble when you initiate warp, in this case you will not warp at all, or 2) the endpoint of your warp must be on the same grid as the bubble, and the line you are warping in must intersect the bubble itself, either before or behind the endpoint. (i.e. really a line, not just a segment) In this case, you end up at the nearest point of this line in the bubble.
