How about a T3 Dictor that has the ability to launch a short range torpedo ( ie: slow , about 15-20kms ) that goes to a target and once within 50m activates into a bubble?
Dics are the most sacrificial of fleet ships, hics are great mobile bubbles but then rely on their ressists to hold up when targeted. In relation a dic has zero survivability if targeted, all it can rely on is either speed or a cloak and both get negated in a fleet fight.

Why does it have to be T3? :P Why a new ship at all?
I'd rather consider a new module which fires warp bubble torpedos.
My idea of how it would work: Warp Disruptor Bomb(we'll call it a bomb for now), can be loaded into interdiction sphere launcher. Fires a bomb that travels at a slow pace for 20 -> 30km range before deploying.
Not sure if I support it or not as I don't have enough 0.0 fleet warfare / interdictor experience to comment on balance issues. But I would say yes as it has a drawback of having a delay between deploying making it 'useless' for gate-camps.

T3 or a new module either way is fine. The point of the item is to address the survivability of a dic type ship in the midst of heavy combat. You are quite right about the ship being pretty much useless for gate camps. It's sole purpose is to be in a fleet and have the ability to deploy bubbles ans survive.
As a normal dic pilot, I have two bubbles fitted, so my options in combat are either deploy a single, move away rapidly and deploy a second, or deploy, move and cloak. But anyone who's been in a 0.0 fight can tell you, dictors are primary support targets and the chances are low deploying one and managing to deploy a second or get away.

I think the point if dictors is that they make such a huge difference on the battlefield as it is that their destruction should be a primary as such. Its much like ECM ships, theyre fragile because of the extreme threat they produce.

make the torpedo bubble relatively short lived - say 30s - so the dictor has to keep launching them? but these bubbles should be as shortlived as dictors currently are
