Konnore November 17th Fidelas Constans 0	Posted - 2013.11.25 00:59:00 - [1] - Quote I agreed with all in Rubicon expansion, all but nullifiers interceptors! I try to lock a Taranis with my Ares (2349 scan resolution) and it warped off before I blink my eyes. Ceptors are extremely fast anyway, they don't need that immunity! After all "nullifying" was a privillege of Tech3 ships and I believe that we must keep it like this! If we realy need a nullifying frigate, we should start thinking the creation of a T3 frigate in EVE Online, with the skill-loss penalty and a corresponding price! Thank you for your time K.

Gigan Amilupar No Code of Conduct Fluffeh Bunneh Murder Squad 59	Posted - 2013.11.25 01:13:00 - [3] - Quote How does this have anything to do with interceptor nullification? Nullified ships aren't affected by warp bubbles, they can still be pointed and scrammed. It seems your issue is that it was able to align and warp out before you were able to lock it or get a point on it, it has nothing to do with it being nullified, unless this engagement of yours took place in a warp bubble.
Endovior Osmosis Inc Li3 Federation 92	Posted - 2013.11.25 01:16:00 - [4] - Quote Disagree... and I don't even fly Interceptors (though I'm certainly considering it, now). Remember that the new change is immunity to non-targeted interdiction... so they waltz through bubbles, but can still be pointed or scrammed. They don't have a point range bonus or anything, so anything they get close enough to point can point them back, leaving them with much the same risks as before. The only difference is that they can sneak past gatecamps easier, and circumvent safety bubbles. That's reasonable.

So, your point is that they're fast enough to burn out of bubbles anyways, which means that there's no need for them to be immune to bubbles? You could've said that more directly, then. Regardless, continue to disagree; it's a minor advantage, but one that can set up some cool possibilities. Not at all overpowered, and quite a reasonable change.
ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors Late Night Alliance 3661	Posted - 2013.11.25 01:28:00 - [8] - Quote Set up a smartbombing camp at the next gate? Interceptors don't really have a lot of HP. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.
Sarah Stallman International Unification 81	Posted - 2013.11.25 05:21:00 - [9] - Quote I've been expected for months that any sizable fleet will have vanguards of interceptors where each side is jockying for position rather than actually fighting. I'm amazed it isn't happening yet.

Half of the interceptors have a 5% range bonus per level to scrams and disruptors. Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

I spoke about the Nullification and NOT about ewar! and Capitals are NOT immune to Ewar... Supers are! And both are not Nullified! but you answer only in the 3rd part of my post.. do you agree with the 1st and 2nd part? (actualy you didin't even answer to the 3rd part - I can remind it to you.. I said, if a ceptor can be nulli why a Super can't?)

Camp could also split up and hop into the other system the gate links to (or jump en masse). Chances are real good what that inty was scouting is on the other side. I think of episode 4 of star wars for times like this. The scene where they are wondering why a short ranged tie fighter is chilling in the middle of nowhere. Then a few moments later we get the the classic "thats no moon" line. Most times inty ='s scout. There are much better frigate choices for solo running. Offline cloak in an af for example. Or the CO/SB to run a covert ops cloak. Probe in the co or maybe pick off a target in the sb.
ShahFluffers Ice Fire Warriors Late Night Alliance 3669	Posted - 2013.11.25 16:05:00 - [16] - Quote Quote: Most times inty ='s scout. I think this is the perception that the DEVs wanted to do away with in regards to interceptors. Before, they seen as lightly tanked and poor damage dealing Assault Frigs that move faster... now they are some of the fastest ships in the game that can run and pin down people with ease. I am personally VERY happy with the change as it forces heavy footed null-sec blobs to use skirmishing tactics rather than just "bubble up, nuke it." Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.
Alvatore DiMarco Capricious Endeavours Ltd CAStabouts 1180	Posted - 2013.11.25 16:09:00 - [17] - Quote Hooray for interceptors that can actually intercept - and bring down BPOs from ORE space when they're not intercepting.

Now you're just trolling. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!" Never forget.

Karma Codolle Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 40	Posted - 2013.11.25 23:07:00 - [21] - Quote Ceptors are meant to catch prey. They should have bubble immunity so they aren't slowed down in this fashion. Rest of the fleet is slowed down, i see no issue with nullified ceptors. They are finally doing what they are meant to do
Emma Yobibit Garoun Investment Bank Gallente Federation 50	Posted - 2013.11.25 23:13:00 - [22] - Quote Ok WTF guys.... please tell me you guys are joking, you can get ceptors to almost inta warp ofc (unlike a pod tho....), but did you ever consider making your ceptor insta lock? you need around 5K scan res to do that, requiring 2 sensor booster, being a friend or , i even saw people target my pod with insta lock loki Not discussing further until you try it with an insta lock, being around 0.5 sec lock time. 1.1 sec does no where near good enough
Caela Autumn Incertae Sedis Ragnarok. 0	Posted - 2013.11.25 23:14:00 - [23] - Quote They should have bubble immunity on land but no bubble immunity to warp out. So on a gate with bubbles on both sides, you warp to it and land directly on the gate, jump, then burn FOR A WHOLE SECOND to be able to start warp.

They are finally doing what they are meant to do Being bubble immune doesn't help them so much with catching prey as it does with being impossible to catch. No ship should be impossible to catch. Removing bubble immunity would not change the fact that with the warp speed buffs, they can be on top of a target incredibly fast. That was the main, and needed, buff to interceptors.
Morrigan LeSante The Lost and Forgotten Troopers 470	Posted - 2013.11.25 23:34:00 - [25] - Quote You dont always have to "catch" it, to kill it. They're not any harder to catch, not really, than a CovOps frig.

Agreed with post. ceptors became too nasty... wouldnt it be better to remove nullification from interceptors and just make 3 rig slots or extra slot for them to be inline with other frigs?

This is laziness, adapt or die. Instead of bubbling interceptors try smart bombing then instead.

Ive been locked in one server tick before now and vaporised in the second. The ceptor changes are a good thing.

MTU vs Noctis But problem is Ceptors done kill stuff unless its alone, so really at the end its like a black ops hot drop. but without all the battle ships.
