Sounds like a good reason to nerf them

Problem: ceptors are going deep into Goon space getting past their camps and killing their ratters.

Fix: just remove bubble immunity

I'm still not seeing why this change is the least bit necessary.

I get that it's bad to have uncatchable interceptors. So why not just revert on the bubble immunity? I honestly don''t mind dying in a well-planned gate camp.

What I do mind is being terrible at tackling things because my ship turns like a lethargic elephant at high speeds.

Oh I get it.

Goon tears.

Guess you'll have to nerf titans cause goons are to scared to take those out.

PL blowing up the goons, can't have goons crying.

as risky as hisec

bullet proof "no-one gets through without our say so" gates :D

You know what would be bad-ass? If you let inties keep their agility and instead split anchorable and dictor/hic bubbles into different categories, and then gave interceptors immunity to the anchorable variety. It would let inties blow past static defenses, but would leave active interference (gate camps, carefully-positioned and -timed hic/dic drag bubbles, etc) effective against them.

While you're at it, you can apply the same stat to T3 nullifier subsystems.

This is clearly the best idea, since there's no good reason for EVE ships to be categorically immune to other players' active, directed attempts to stop them.

Agility goes up.

Align time goes up.

Sounds legit.

Someone fail math? Or just plain lack of logic.

Bueller. Bueller.

Ok, I'll give you a hint. Agility reduces align time.

Agility (as a modifier on mass) affects the turning time (often measured as align time) of ships. Lower is better.
The align times listed below are for a hypothetical character with 0 skills.

This would be an epic change.

The answer is in the first post, I'll quote it for you but basically they do mass * agility = align_time.

Yeah that extra fifth of a second of align time is really going to mess with your tackling

The problem with interceptors is their interdiction nullification, not their agility. Give them their agility back and remove their bubble immunity.

My 5 cents:
I think CCP absolutely misses the point here. I have flown a lot with the malediction this month and it is a great ship.
But main issue here aren-¦t intys but intys with links. It was and is still the same problem like it was with kitey condors:
Kiters + Skirmish links = OP.
Interceptors + Skirmish links = completely OP.
Examples:

-The low signature radius of interceptors makes them already very hard to hit with the usual counter called light missiles.
I was soloing a light missile fitted heretic in a malediction without skirmish links and no implants. Okay the guy tried to shot me with furies but if he would have taken usual cal navy ammo I would have probably been forced to run. The light fury missiles almost didn-¦t hit a male that orbits at 21km with 5.1k m/s.

-There is a well know corp who is almost only flying interceptors with loki and Tengu booster.
Grab 5 Raptors, 2 ogb, every Raptor has sensor damp.... --->unkillable.
I have tried it with fof rapid light caracals. We tried it with 3 fof rapid light caras.... No way. The only outcome were dead caras. They even didn-¦t need to run. They simply killed us.
Combination of skirmish links + interceptor point range + interceptor speed + interceptor sig radius = almost completely immune to missiles. Yes the missiles did hit. But the damage in combination of speed+ sig radius was a total joke.
You say snipe them with nado from 120km? Also doesn-¦t hit. We tried it^^. Forget even sentries. Too low sig radius and speed.
Arty Thrasher? Hahaha. 5 fully tech2 fitted 280mm arty thrashers couldn-¦t kill even one at optimal range^^ (we tried to alpha them before they got damps on us).

So the agility tweak will fix... nothing!
Really CCp you miss again the point. Main issue here is the combination of interceptors and off grid boosters and not the interceptor itself.


edit: I bet I will get flamed to death from people who don-¦t even know how to undock a shuttle without ogb veeeeeeery fast.

off grid boosting need to be fixed, period.
ceptors with link only work if you stay in in one system if you want to roam links are a no go because you will lose the main strength of ceptors

Why do you think it is always the same: Neutral loki and tengu jump in system and then the ceptors. Always the same...

Makes it too easy to run away by dropping bubbles behind you as you flee.

You shot the wrong ship with the nado... probe out the booster tengu/loki, which will likely have under 20k ehp, which works out to 2 1400 nados...

nerf them more.
approve.
