I tried new interceptor with warp speed rigs, amazing acceleration and warp indeed.
Make sense that now an interceptor actually can " intercept " enemy few jumps ahead or enter in a system, warp to ice field and have a chance to tackle some bot that auto warp off as soon as neutral eneter in local.
But please consider the result of fitting a cyno
You can easily fit a cyno on a interceptor if you have cyno trained at least at 4 and just 1 expanded cargohold.
Let's take as E. the ares.
With cyno skill @ 4 you need 300 liquid ozone and with 3 inertia stabilizer + 1 cargohold + 2 warp speed rigs and interdiction nullified special role you actually end up with a cyno that can travel 20 jump in few minutes, can't be locked in time, can't be bubbled.
I'm not judging if it's a bad or good idea, but it will drastically change 0.0/low sec projection force.
You could allready force gatecamps with cyno covert ops or covert nullified t3, but the covert op isn't nullified and the t3 it's a ship the require some skills and a bit of isk.
As Rubicon hit we will have low cost, low sp interceptor that will travel over universe map faster then ever.

i agree, this must be looked into a little more, cyno jammers are an okay solution, but you must be able to stop them before they get in a system. I see this as a very easy way to infiltrate without any risk. With a t3 you risk 400-500mil + skill points, with a ceptor, a few milions and no skills, true that you can't hot drop with cov ops cyno but still a bit unbalanced in my opinion.
I'm curious of the effects of this on live servers if it won't be changed untill then. |

You are totally missing the point.
You don't prevent force projection with a grid-wide (wasn't announced 80km range btw) cyno jammer.
We will still have ceptor roaming that can travel 10 jumps in 3 min (just tested myself).
Jump in poorman camp tackle all u can, 1 ceptor cyno fitted bounce on tactical or nearest planet, light cyno, field X capitals, assign fighters to tacklers, GG.
And all this happen in matter of seconds, really... warping from gate to station in 5 seconds with rigged ceptor. |

No it's fine.
The new interceptors get rid of those f***ing 50+ large bubbels on a gate trying to stop anything from getting into the system.
Now you have to actually protect your ratting carrier/system. Not just be there and farm ISK afk. FFS this is 0.0 not high sec.
Get some back up into the anomalie or on the gate and protect your ass. Place smartbombs BS on a few gates etc. not just whine about them being op... use your brain and protect your stuff. |

QFT
Doesn't matter if you get dropped by 3 carriers, or 50 legions or even 6 supers... Cepters, indeed, are not the problem or cause of force projection.

New interceptors are fine ! You'll just learn to be more reactive.. and you can still instalock them or smartbomb them.
If a change is really needed, it lies in Titan force projection.
Also, if you're actually watching your gates, you're then able to warn your friends that a ship is coming.
Null sec was never intended to be safe ! Now at least it will be a little more dangerous, even in fully bubbled, cul-de-sac systems.

That dude doesn't understand the concept of force projection.
Having a nullified ship able to travel over 3 systems / min that can fit a cyno and isn't targetable ( i dare u to target triple inertia ceptor ) is an epic change to force projection and this need more attention.
Regarding personal flame with that moron... bubbled system with ratting carrier is the wrong way to make money, i know safer and more profitable ways but i'm not going to tell u 
But really, carrier are just bad... u can find them in drone regions but this has nothing to do with force projection.
Nullified ceptro will have the same strategic value of a t3 cloaky, nullified that cost 20 x and need more SP to fly.
Nullified ceptor is just a wallhack.
IAs i said in 1st post the warp acceleration proportional to warp speed is a good thing, making interceptor real interceptor but if u couple it with a cyno u will change all 0.0 mechanics.

Ceptors will be useful, and 0.0 was never meant to be safe, so Now... Now you have to be ready, always. If you see a ceptor on D-Scan you better know how to callup your defensive fleet.
Even in this last post, you compared it to a T3 Cloaky, So what if it's cheaper and easier to get? That might just be the point, an alternative to dumping isk (and SP) into a drain. I can just as easily null up my Manti, bring a cyno, and just cloak right onto field. |

So here's how I look at this, Chicken Little.
Yes, Interceptors will be able to ignore bubbles and warp directly to a gate. If a smart Interdictor pilot sees an Interceptor approaching on DSCAN, they won't bother bubbling. Most other gate camps are around drag bubbles set in line with gates, which the Interceptor will now ignore, and land on gate. The gate camp party will have lots of time to decide what to do as the Interceptor is burning towards them.
Normally you want to bait the gatecamp fleet into aggressing you before you light the cyno, as otherwise they will jump the gate or warp away once the cyno is lit.
Because Interceptors rely on their speed and signature tanking to survive, as soon as you light the cyno, you stop moving and can be one-shot. If the cyno pilot is destroyed before the fleet can bridge in, they'll get scattered randomly in the system, which just adds hilarity.

Nullified intys are bad for null sec. Its as simple as that.
TBH I can not believe CCP is using this idea. Over the past year CCP has done some great ship balancing. But this is just stupid.
Id rather see intys get more base speed and survivability in combat then interdiction nullification.
All they will be now is null sec shuttles and fast response uncatchable cyno ships!

With the proposed mechanics, by the time you see an interceptor on d-scan, it will be too late. He will have tackle on you in less than 10 seconds. The only thing that will prevent this is a cyno jammer.
Cyno bubbles will be seeing a lot of use. But they can't do the job of a system-wide cyno jammer. And do you really think professional isk farmers (ie carrier ratters) will be anchoring dozens of cyno jammer bubbles in every anom just to prevent a hot-drop?
I am still concerned about bubble immunity on interceptors. Perhaps on a tech 3 frig some time in the future?

Focussing on the interceptor or the bridging Titan is missing the issue of cyno transit being near-instantaneous.
There are a number of issues to consider: the cyno interceptor is paper thin, so the moment it lights the cyno it will be dead. This can be exacerbated by adding a spool-up time to the cyno. In my little personal EVE-from-hell ideal, there would be spool-up and transit limits on jump drives and bridges similar to wormholes: you can push a battleship through each second, pro-rata by ship volume or mass, with the limit increasing over time due to stabilisation of the cynosural flux or whatever technobabble explanation can be devised.
So considering the fit the OP came up with to get a rapid response cyno, I think the devs have actually thought this issue through.

OP I disagree.
Don't forget it's ALL ships warp speed that is being adjusted, not just intys. They just happen to be the fastest and getting all the buzz. Why not cry wolf on sabers passing enemy fleets in warp to the next gate jumping through and bubbling the gate before the enemy fleet even activates the prior gate? Or how about high warp speed heavy dictors?
It's a game changer, but all around the game. Not just intys. It's a balance adjustment, so we all are going to make changes to the way we play this game we all love.
IMO this is awesome. Relax. Put on you big boy pants and play the game.

this makes interceptors OP this is realy ridiculous i am fine with risk and everything that comes with 0.0 even hotdropping a single ship. but this way is realy over the top.
mining in 0.0 DEAD because not only can they see where the ore sites are and warping to them instantly they also can travel to the ore site in like 1 or 2 sec if its close by (which is mostly the case) so you dont have time to get out.
same goes for ratting in carriers now they cant catch you if you pay attention and arent a complete idiot. but that changes because of the drone changes you had to switch to sentry ratting and well that is a past station when rubicon hits.
i like PVP a lot but i do have to PVE to be able to PVP |

yeah great a ship with 3 au (nearly all ships and caps even slower then that) gains a small bit its not in comparison to the interceptors that can do 21 au with T2 rigs. this will result in a lot of people not being able to make isk to play the game. |

It's a good thing then that they balanced it out by giving you something that will prevent cynos being lit within 100km. Also you should be able to tank an inty long enough for someone to kill it before your mining ship dies.
is it really that mining is dead? or is it more that you increase your risk of being caught and killed by mining without any support around at all?

this isnt balance and they wont stop covert cyno`s and 100km is not enough range. the speed that interceptors and even interdictors gain is insane or covert ops with a covert cyno.
this change is too powerfull and will for sure have a negative effect on the game. i am fine with the boost as long as its not over the top and at this point it is over the top. |

I keep reading about ppl talking about ratting carriers, afk miners... dudes u are missing the core of the thread!
FORCE PROJECTION
I bet those ppl didn't even bother to test themself rigged interceptor on sisi.
You can travel 20 systems in 5-6 mins and the longest part of travel is gate animation.
I'm talking about 5 seconds warp inside a system...
People talking about tiny tank on ceptors? Ok i light cyno... my fleet bridge inside a HIC cyno with 200k ehp my ceptor dies but my fleet jump to HIC cyno.
You actually need to lock a cyno ceptor before oneshotting it!
99% of fail cyno is because orders come late or cyno bait wait to much to light.
If u land grid and light cyno ASAP u will have 100% chance to bridge inside a HIC cyno.
I'm just saying cyno ceptor will be a wallhack because you can't lock a nullified ceptor travelling, period.
No way, u can't if he isn't dumb.
I jump in the mother of all gatecamp cause enemy fleet is trying to lock down a strategic system (ihub,station timer,carebear haven, the **** u want...) i don't even look overview i just warp to exit gate because i've an ares with 3 inertia, 10 seconds later i'm jumping exit gate.
Smartbombing bs is just bullshit, it works only in place liek rancer where u know ppl is coming from 1 gate, will land in exact position, is not caring about bouncing on tactical cause he's flying condor in low sec and u can place your smarty AOE on the edge of gate body.

I want to explain me better about the wallhack sentence.
1) covert op:
You can bubble it.
With smart frigate pilot You can take direction and try decloak or even better fire another bubble.
2) nullified t3:
With very very little chance if you have a ton of people with a moltitude of drones you might be next to him when he leave gatecloak and have a little chance to lock a cruiser hull before he enter warp.
3) nullified ceptor:
align time if properly fitted is nearly the same if not inferior of (overview delay + human reaction time + locking time).
It's something that need more work on, maybe prevent cyno to be fitted on interceptor class, maybe lower interceptor grid and give role bonus to small guns powergrid usage so you are force to fit auxiliary power core in the low slot instead of inertia stab. to fit a cyno or drastically reduce cargohold so u need to fit 3-4 expanded instead of just 1. |

again... the new interceptors are NOT op, here's why:
Force Projection:
Cyno alts are already all over EVE, ready to go if **** goes down somewhere... If some tries to shoot an I-Hub these days, someone knows already, someone has a cyno already in system. So no, the new inties are not the problem with force projection.
It only maybe helps smaller groups to burn a cyno somewhere if they don't have 1000 cyno alts.
Carebearing:
Keep your 50 bubbels on a gate, nothing other then a ceptor or t3 can ignore them. If you're scared of 1 ceptor something is wrong. If said ceptor has a cyno then use the cyno jammer on your grid.
If you mine in a group 20-40 drones will **** a ceptor... or keep someone there to guard you. they have 6-8k ehp tops.
If you still get tackled & die you deserved it. ANYONE actually playing the game and pays attention won't die to the new ceptors.
also scouts/intelchannels FTW. |

i dont have an issue with ceptor being nullified also that they gain speed is fine aswell but it is just too much and that DOES make them OP, the cyno jammer doesnt have enough range

The Cyno Jammer will have a range of 70-100km. Even if it only has 50km range, NO ceptor is able to point @ 50km, hell even target that far... even if he is, he deservs to point you, becasue that dude just spend alot of ISK on a 20m ship.
You DON'T need a gazzillion scouts. Only 1, next door or 2 out what ever. If a ceptor enters that system you just warp out early enough.
Let's say you're stupid and still get tackled from 50km then the ceptor can't move and a cyno goes up... let a arty nado sit next too you, which insta locks & insta pops it. even if the cyno went up there is some delay on the other side which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to jump a lachesis trough which can lock you in 1 second & cyno up again. And nothing can warp within jam range.
You're just probably scared that you can't just sit anymore alone all day long by yourself and just warp as soon as someone enters local. Intercepters now can catch stuff if you're slow, playing an MMO alone or not paying too much attention to the game you're playing.
TEAM up and no harm will come to you from the new ceptors.
also, fyi, there is a pos mod that can jamm the entire system... just so you know.
Even if it's a ceptor with a gang behind it, bubbels still slow THEM down, giving you the time to fight of the ceptor. If you can't you die, that's how eve works.
Even if they bring a ceptor and nully t3, they again deserve it, cause they spend alot of isk on their fleet. Proper working Intels & again scout, aka actually PLAYING THE **** TOGETHER keeps you save. |

Fan interceptors will reduce the utility of Local as an intel tool in hisec too. No longer will watching local be enough to provide some protection from war targets when doing carebearish activities: your mining barge will take longer to get into warp than it takes the interceptor to enter system, warp to you and get a point on.

If you are aligned it takes 0 seconds to enter warp... much faster than a ceptor can jump in, dscan your direction and (hope to) warp to you.
You are drastically exaggerating the effects of the change because your semi afk/multiboxing isk making activities may become a little more difficult.

Travel time across systems, immunity to any attempt to lock if properly fitted and capacity of fitting a cyno.
Nullified ceptor is immune to anything because with 3 inertia it warps faster then overview delay + locking time assuming u are even faster than a rabbit to ctrl + click it.
It has nothing to do with 50 bubbles on gate.
If u want to hunt in these systems there's allready a solution t3 + covert cyno, no bubbles and no jammer can stop u.
I brought attention to the fact a ceptor can now travel 3 systems/ min and instant warp if properly fitted.
Need @ least to nerf cargohold to like 50 m3 to not allow to ligth cyno with only 1 exapanded cargohold.
It should need a full rack of expanded cargohold or some powergrid modules. |

all I see a pro's, still waiting for the cons. 
the entire enemy support fleet is dead except for one interdictor a titan could easily finish off with drones

AGAIN... the problem with force projection is not the new ceptor, it's what sits on the other side of the cyno. Bridging 300ppl in generall.
There is no difference between a covert being already in system & just waiting still **** hits the fan, or a ceptor burnig there. Either way, you'll see it coming, so prepare for it. the new cyno jammer makes projection already different... we still have to see it's range and all.
But a fleet jumping in @ around 70km isn't a big problem if you're not bubbeld to **** already. then it doesn't matter what lights the cyno... |

You're just probably scared that you can't just sit anymore alone all day long by yourself and just warp as soon as someone enters local. Intercepters now can catch stuff if you're slow, playing an MMO alone or not paying too much attention to the game you're playing.
TEAM up and no harm will come to you from the new ceptors.
I fear there will be a lot of people (mostly NullBears) who will be venting on the forum for exactly this reason when the expansion hits.
At least it will stop their usual crying about wanting cloakes to be nerfed because of 'AFK'.

i thought it was about force projection... >.>
What can a 20mil nully frig do:
- finaly catch stuff
- barely fit a cyno
- maybe can solo a cruiser
What cna a 500m+ nully cruiser do:
- everything!!!
so no, i don't see an imbalance between a 20m ship and a 500m ship |

Tank??? tank on a ceptor? we playing same game?
Cyno ceptor will just light cyno and die.
The OP part is where u jump in 20 camps and don't give a fuc-k about local or overview cause u instant warp.
The whole thread is about travel time + bubble immunity + cyno ability
You will not solo with 1 ceptor or @ least it's not a matter discussed here.
Yes i still think interdiction nullified ships should be t3 or @ least not 500k sp flyable ships. |

You don't prevent force projection with a grid-wide (wasn't announced 80km range btw) cyno jammer.
We will still have ceptor roaming that can travel 10 jumps in 3 min (just tested myself).
Jump in poorman camp tackle all u can, 1 ceptor cyno fitted bounce on tactical or nearest planet, light cyno, field X capitals, assign fighters to tacklers, GG.
And all this happen in matter of seconds, really... warping from gate to station in 5 seconds with rigged ceptor.
I heard there was also a mobile cyno jammer available. What's the life on that thing and why can't they counter using that as a precautionary tool at camps and such?
Sorry haven't spent any time on sisi yet - thus the question. |

My bad i can't find the deployable cyno jammer on Sisi, maybe it's not in actual build and will be tested later.
There are a few factors to consider:
1) Cost
2) volume
3) anchoring time
In a basic gate camp let's say you need 1-2 scout, 1 dictor or a few drag bubbles and some dps BC/hac.
If the cyno jammer will cost for example 100 mil isk, need a transport to haul and take 10 min to anchor you will not able to field a throw away module like that for such a camp while u can afford to lose bubbles.
So it's too early to talk about jammer.
Anyway if you roam with ceptors the one with cyno fitted has just to bounce on nearest planet or tactical to ligh cyno and this will took no more then 4-5 seconds while others tackle.
Instead a ship without bubble immunity should @ least activate mwd to exit bubble (meanwhile u can try to lock and kill), warp as soon as out of bubble (but since u cycled your mwd will have longer align time) so this operation will take longer than instant warp.
To be honest try a ceptor with 2 warp speed rigs and 3 inertia and you will figure out what i'm talking about

Well I just fitted a dual inertiad Claw with Cyno, scram & guns with enough fuel for one cyno, undocked from Jita and was in Maila (10 jumps) in 3 minutes 40 secs. No gate timers, no faffing about.
Aside from the amazing speed, What really got me was the landing time. Your literally out of warp and able to target in a *tiny fraction* of a second.
This is going to be serious fun...
Edit: BTW the deployable cyno jammer *is* seeded on SISI's market now, under deployable equipment. Costs about 4-5m to build, is a one-off use, and takes two minutes to activate.

Ransu Asanari wrote:So here's how I look at this, Chicken Little.
Yes, Interceptors will be able to ignore bubbles and warp directly to a gate. If a smart Interdictor pilot sees an Interceptor approaching on DSCAN, they won't bother bubbling. Most other gate camps are around drag bubbles set in line with gates, which the Interceptor will now ignore, and land on gate. The gate camp party will have lots of time to decide what to do as the Interceptor is burning towards them.
Normally you want to bait the gatecamp fleet into aggressing you before you light the cyno, as otherwise they will jump the gate or warp away once the cyno is lit.
Because Interceptors rely on their speed and signature tanking to survive, as soon as you light the cyno, you stop moving and can be one-shot. If the cyno pilot is destroyed before the fleet can bridge in, they'll get scattered randomly in the system, which just adds hilarity.
do the math, a ceptor with warp speed rigs will cover the dscan range within 1 server tick, dscan can only be refreshed ever 3 server tick..
so you would have to be very lucky to catch one on dscan, and the next second, it will be on grid with you
and i'm not even taking the usecase where pilot has the new +53% warp speed implants |

Force Projection:
Cyno alts are already all over EVE, ready to go if **** goes down somewhere... If some tries to shoot an I-Hub these days, someone knows already, someone has a cyno already in system. So no, the new inties are not the problem with force projection.
It only maybe helps smaller groups to burn a cyno somewhere if they don't have 1000 cyno alts.
Carebearing:
Keep your 50 bubbels on a gate, nothing other then a ceptor or t3 can ignore them. If you're scared of 1 ceptor something is wrong. If said ceptor has a cyno then use the cyno jammer on your grid.
If you mine in a group 20-40 drones will **** a ceptor... or keep someone there to guard you. they have 6-8k ehp tops.
If you still get tackled & die you deserved it. ANYONE actually playing the game and pays attention won't die to the new ceptors.
also scouts/intelchannels FTW.
i would like to see your +¬0, 40 or even 100 warriors kill my stiletto orbiting you at 25km???good luck with that! |

Can we wait until the expansion is out before we start talking about how badly it ruined everything?
For what it's worth, yes, it does seem a bit bizarre having that much force projection. Perhaps it'll even be nerfed so that interceptors just straight up can't fit a cyno. But at the end of the day, everybody will have access to these new interceptors. It's difficult to predict how the metagame will change, or if it'll change much at all, or how interesting the new metagame will be. Worst comes to the worst, it's chaotic bullshit for a couple of months until CCP figures out how to deal with it all.
Come what may, lads. Fight on.

Besides the fact that anyone who randomly throws 3 carriers around is asking to lose them, the only use titans have at all outside of bridging is in a super cap fight, or drive-by DDing bad carriers/dreads that are not fit properly/correct race. The ceptor is not the issue here due to just how paper thin they are. If you light a cyno then you are not moving + near to no tank = anything will 2 - 3 volley you. Epically if you do dumb things like fit inertia stabs. If you fit inertia stabs on an interceptor then you are just bad nothing really more to say.
Hint: Fit a nano, inertia stabs increase your sig thus causing you to get locked faster and get hit easier. |

I think you're kind of missing the point.
The only time a new Rubicon inty is vulnerable is while travelling, as it jumps gate then decloaks to warp. Without stabs, that takes a Claw 3.3 secs - plenty of time for an experienced SeBo'd Jag pilot to point him (1.4secs). So the Jag has almost two seconds to react.
Triple Stabs turn a 30m sig radius into 38.8m. The Jag pilot can lock & point that fit a tenth of a second faster. But his window of opportunity is significantly reduced because the inty can now warp from 0 in 1.9secs. So, a 0.6sec reaction time. Pretty much not going to happen. Plus, even if long-pointed the inty can kite off at over 4k/sec which the Jag can't touch.
It's nitpicking really. Any inty cyno is going to be a throwaway, albeit a slightly pricey one. The trick is getting it into position, and for that CCP have equipped inties particularly dangerously.
And just FYI - I've been playing with dictors & other small ships on SISI. With T2 Hyperspatial rigs (which aren't that expensive) and a cheapish implant they are all, without exception, ridiculously fast and stop on a dime. Nullified they are not, but lowsec is going to be a whole different ballgame.

Now you have to actually protect your ratting carrier/system. Not just be there and farm ISK afk. FFS this is 0.0 not high sec.
Get some back up into the anomalie or on the gate and protect your ass. Place smartbombs BS on a few gates etc. not just whine about them being op... use your brain and protect your stuff. Lol idiot, that's not the problem. We are talking about dropping carriers on 3 rupture camping a gate because new overpowered force projection. Also u have no clue of what happen in 0.0 from what u have written.
You mean, so gate camping will actually be risky?
What a shock!
