This isn't new. Everyone who's flown in nullsec for a while is aware of this.
The logical reasoning is that it allows you to set traps for your enemies.

Well yeah that's the logic, but shouldn't I be able to warp in at a distance? I just think it's kinda crazy that even though I select 100km I still warp in at 10km

Bouncing off celestials can work too.

Dscan won't tell you what directions the bubbles cover. Only how many there are and what types.

If your line of warp has a bubble along it, you warp right to the bubble instead of to the point you actually wanted to warp to. It's a feature of mobile warp disruptors (and warp bubbles in general), which lets people better lie traps in 0.0.

Create a "tactical" safe spot some 200 km or so from the gate in a random direction to be able to scout the gate safely.

If I haven't been able to visit that system before I couldn't make a bookmark.

Also, some systems don't have celestials that offer better angles. It really wouldn't make it THAT much easier to get around these things if this mechanic was changed. I don't think.

I just don't think it makes much sense.

Tbh, that's a lame mechanic. I'm all for people being able to gank other people, but when we start to break down logic to enable people to do this, well that annoys me.

Were bubbles initially introduced working like this? Was it some technical limitation or intentional?

It would be technically far simple if they didn't work like this. It's entirely intentional that they do what they do, although as always, the creative use is not something they ever design for.

A way to check gates that arent within scan range or have any celestials in scan range is by draining your capacitor so you can't make the full warp.
Initiate warp and cancel over and over til your cap is dried up enough to not be able to make the full warp.
That way you'll warp most of the way there, but not the whole way. Stopping you before you hit grid and making it able to scan.

Also leave bubble mechanics alone pls thx

The only thing I hate about bubbles is how they look when you have a dozen or so of them on top of one another.

Seriously, you can't see anything in that ****. I doubt that's intended. If CCP could fix that all would be good.

I haven't seen a pile of bubbles like that since their graphical change. Does it still impair visibility?

Erm, this thread seems to have evolved into a "how to bypass bubbles" thread, but the point I think the OP was making was that his ship is being influenced by bubbles, even though the entirety of his actual flightpath was outside the range of the bubble.

If I've got this correct, a T2 large bubble anchored at 10 KM from a gate would affect an area up to 50 KM from the gate, assuming it's lined up between the 2 gates. If you warp to 100 KM, you haven't reached it yet to be affected by it.

If that is the case, I'm surprised none of you have complained that you can't anchor a bubble after someone has initiated warp. Can someone verify that that is the case, or do you still get dragged out after warp is initiated (assuming there were no bubbles when you started)?

(some interesting stuff)
