While it's a good first try, I guess, I am not happy. The good is the attempt to make the other dictors come in line with the Sabre and there's some good first steps. However, there are a couple of things that are disappointing:
A completely untanked Sabre has 15% less EHP than a completely untanked Thrasher with, even with the Rubicon changes, 25% higher signature radius. The EHP and sig radius shouldn't be worse than the T1 counterpart.
Also, fitting a double bubble dictor, which is very common usually gimps the rest of the ship because of CPU constraints. I can't EFT the new fittings, but can lasers, hybrids, etc., even the smallest variety be fit to a double bubble Eris or Heretic?
In my opinion, Dictors should have a little bit more survivability whether through a further reduction in sig radius or a buff to raw hit points. |

Quite disappointed.
From the stats I can not see a reason why i'd pick these over standard dessies or AF's (non 0.0 perspective remember).
Why would you use a dictor out of nullsec? The entire point of it is to bubble, not to be some bad gimmick lowsec pvp ship.
Training for the Alliance Tournament. |

Now they are underpowered HIC. Why fly a dictor when HIC is better (It can take a few hits anyway where the dictors are a suicide boat).
With a forward bubble, they aren't trapped in, it becomes a matter of skill to put the bubble correctly and then trying to warp off before you reach the edge, etc.
It would also go hand in hand with the class of bomb launcher, etc.
To be fair, dictors can do a lot of things that hictors cannot. Bubble a gate, jump through, bubble the other side. Bubble 100km away from a gate to slow down a pursuing opponent fleet (gtfo and cloak). The ability to drop a bubble and move is a significant distinction.
My favorite idea from this thread is to use the new destroyer hulls (Algos, Corax, Talwar, I forget the Amarr one) as "fleet dictors" with bonuses to agility and survivability, but low dps and "skirmish dictors" with solid dps and perhaps slightly more ehp / sig radius than their T1 counterparts.

I'd almost rather wait to a post-expansion update and do it right then half-ass it because of ~deadlines~. |

The version 2 pass is much better; especially the changes to the bubble launcher mechanics and survivability. Good job CCP. |

The new interdiction sphere launcher proposed is qualitatively better than the current model in nearly every single way. Go back to ratting you clueless noob, there's a reason every single dictor fits 2x interdiction sphere launchers. If you haven't figured out why that means you've never flown an Interdictor. In which case, why are you posting? Well, O Master of PvP, please explain to me how two single bubble launchers on a ship is better than one that can fire not twice, but three times under the same reload period. e: Feel free to check eve-kill for some examples of me flying a sabre. I tend to prefer daredevils, though. That link is only for a single month, though -- all-time lists appear to be broken and I cannot be arsed to find all the times I ever flew a sabre.
I'm not sure this veritable demi-goddess of PVP realizes that the reactivation timer was a minute with dictors trained to V. |
