interceptor bubble immunity is OP. Look at the goons, all they fly is interceptors, because you basically cant catch them anymore (apart of silly methods like smartbombs), unless they want to fight and mess up.
Interceptors are a safe travel ship and this shouldnt be available for this price tag of 20m ISK, IMO there shouldnt be any bubble immunity for anything at all.

We have had some luck using sebo'ed-r'sebo'ed inties and destroyers on gates. Usually just catch two or three out of 10 though.

If you cant beat it, cry until they nerf it.

What I really want is constructive conversation not witty comments like "what it really boils down to is you crying because you think i'm crying".

yeah properly fit interceptors warp almost instantly, you dont even have a chance to lock them.
Interceptors are broken.

I've specced out all the interceptors, the malediction is the only one that i feel is out of line, it is able to fit for instawarp and able to maintain combat effectiveness. I've spent serious time trying to kill this fit, and aside from getting them to fall for bait or smartbombing they're impossible to kill. The complete immunity to be tackled when warping off a gate is OP. More to the fact the malediction is suppost to be an armor ship and has an armor resist bonus but here we are with an lolwtf shield tank that exploits its low mass that it has been gifted for being armor.

The Untargetability of the ship is achieved through game mechanics by basically being faster than the server and the internet, i think the *best* way to balance this is to place a hardcap on the warp to align speed so its possible to catch these with a enough scan res and an average ping to TQ. If it takes a hardcapped stat on the entire interceptor class to balance the maladiction then so be it, it will force players to fit for more combat effectiveness as a whole as well as restore the risk / reward of flying the ship.

Example below is 1.95 align to warp speed, 1.75 with squad bonus and skirmish mindlink passive effect. 30km point and 42km missile range, with damage type selectable.

Warp Disruptor II

Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Micro Auxiliary Power Core II

Small Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I

lol, you are literally crying that a gimpy malediction that is fit specifically for avoiding gate camps can't be caught by gate camps. In light of all the good things that have come from the ceptor rebalance its a tough argument to make that they need to be nerfed to accommodate the exhilarating tactical possibilities presented to the remote seboed gate camping battle cruiser.

You should feel bad.

6k+ scan res on an interceptor attempting to target an interceptor and the ship doesn't even attempt to lock cause the ship is already in warp in the 115ms it takes TQ to relay the information to your client.

You should feel bad for not even taking the time to see what maledictions can do in groups, or pairs, so next time before you post anything, please research it.

The fact that 10 maledictions can kill a PVE fit drake has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that nobody should care about gate campers crying that they can't catch them.

The fact that 10 maledictions can kill a PVE fit drake has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that nobody should care about gate campers crying that they can't catch them. Their entire role is centred on mobility, being able to get into hostile systems with impunity is exactly the niche they are supposed to fill. This is balanced by the fact that if you tackle them on grid with any kind of DPS support they will melt.

that is.. your client doesnt even start locking, since ship is already in warp as it appears on overview.
this is totally borked IMO.

Really man? Are you kidding me?

A pair of ceptors should be able to kill poor afk ratters, kill other small combat things, sure i agree with this.

BUT when you cant even prevent them from moving around, it is OP, I want you to setup a malediction for "escaping" gate camps, then setup a few of your friends on the other side of a gate with a Claw ( the highest natural scan res ceptor ) and remote sensor boost it to hell and back, put as many remote sebo's on it you like, 10, 20, doesnt matter. Have your malediction jump in and hit warp, see if you are caught....

Answer? No, you are gone.

Now when those "gatecamp avoiding" ceptors come crashing by you and go feast things they want to fight, and you "have support for the ratters" , all they do is land on grid with a ratting boat, see it is a trap, and run away again.

NOTHING can catch them, they just roam around looking for a non-baited target and an easy gank.

Oh sorry. When I said "their role is to be able to move around with impunity" and you pointed out that you can't catch them at gate camps, I totally see now how they don't fit their designed role and need to be nerfed...

Because you guys are too lazy to keep a single recon in your ratting constellation that would render the interceptors completely harmless?

no, because people started using them massively as a better shuttle, for moving around in 0.0 while being almost completely untouchable.
