I don't know if it does, but it shouldn't... I mean you're not targeting somebody like you would be if you were warp scrambling them. You're just creating a friendly little local warp disruption field.
I have this really cool idea where you could have your buddies camping a station and you could undock, drop a bubble at the undock point, and quickly redock. Nobody could leave the station, not even with insta-undocks. Not only that, but your interdictor would be impossible to kill if somebody was trying to break the station camp!
You could do this with gates too! |

No it doesn't and if you drop a bubble and your gang mates kill a ship thats caught in it you wont even be on the killmail unless you shoot at them as well.

It'd be nice if it did cause aggro.
I think I'm still scarred from when a 'dictor warped into a gate baside me, I thought "Oooh...tasty, I'll kill that then", and realised my mistake as a shiny blue bubble appeared around me, 'dictor buggered off to the other side of the gate, and his gang warped on top of me.
Oh yes...and can we make the bubbles look the size that they actually are please?

They can only be used in 0.0 correct so that wouldnt create a arggo --------------------------

The real question is, can you drop a 'dictor bubble and then jump immeditately. If you can (and I'm pretty sure you can), this seems a bit wrong. Not sure if there's a way to do anything about it, but there you go.
This is a tactic I've only seen recently (doesn't mean people haven't been using it since the interdictors were introduced but anyway . . .) - a group of gatecampers has an interdictor that drops a bubble on an entrance gate to 0.0 and then immediately jumps back into secure space. Once the bubble dies, jump back in, rinse and repeat.
So basically, the interdictor is close to 100% immune from getting blasted, since all he has to do is drop the bubble and jump. I suppose it would be possible to snipe him from far away before he made it back to the gate, but it's unlikely, especially since the rest of his buddies are bound to be on the 0.0 side giving him some cover. --------------------------------------------------------------

Let me put it like this: The interdiction sphere launcher is very bugged and exploitable, so is the bubble you spew out of it. I'm not going to mention the bugs here as they'll obviously be exploited. CCP are working on fixing these.

The dictor bubble shouldn't cause aggro because intidictors atm are very fragile the go boom real quick from anything thats god any kind of DPS to it because of its high sig radius. The dictors job atm is to hold down the enemy fleet and make a quick escape. which suits is just fine. Want to be a pirate? Join Sniggwaffe |

All the more reason to make them cause aggro.
To be honest the interdictor bubble should be locked to the interdictor, and make the interdictor immobile while active (Player then clicks Sphere launcher again to deactivate. the probes would merely serve as fuel) |

Edited by: Rells on 29/06/2006 10:08:53 You can jump right after firing a bubble and its stupid. Its as much an offensive weapon as a blaster. There is only one purpose for warp disrupt probes and it isnt to say "hello".

On one hand im disgusted to think that the Interdictor can instant to a gate, drop a bubble and jump through, while a gang of friends can be in warp at 100km or what ever.. ready to snipe unsuspecting folks at the gate..
On the other hand, im delighted by the news ill be flying one in a matter of days..
\o/ for interdictors.. finally a solution to those pesky shuttle alts..

Dictor bubbles should not cause agression. Nor do or should regular bubbles.
Most tacklers in the game are light ships. Easily dispatched if you are fitted for it. Dictors are not tacklers. They don't make good tacklers. They are there to drop a bubble and once it's dropped, killing them is just an act of revenge. It won't get you out of the bubble.
If anything, dictors should get a tank boost so they can stay and fight more often. Against smaller ships, my dictor does excellent damage. But against a BS, I can hardly scratch it and one volley of torps is enough to wipe me off the map.
That said, I've never run from my own bubbles. I drop it and open fire. If I die, I die. ___________________________________________ The deeper you stick it in your vein, the deeper the thoughts there's no more pain. ___________________________________________ |

I may be wrong, but as your missiles should lose lock and go haywire some seconds after you warp or cloak, a interdictor buttle shouldn't do te same? And BTW from what I get it is an area weapons, so should do aggro. If the fargility of a ship had meaning in causing aggro I go hunting in a noobie ship, and no one should be aggroed even if i fire on them

what I found odd to barely make it past a bubblecamp to have the dictor immediately jump through to the other side and drop one there too. I managed to MWD out of the bubble and warp before getting scrammed, but landed in the middle of 5 giant veld roids in an asteroid belt ----------- Turbulance |
