Several patches ago, the launching of a Warp Disrupt Probe was modified to no longer create aggression. A person attempting to warp in that bubble also failed to aggress the dictor pilot.
This has led to a popular mechanic whereby a interdictor pilot can undock from an NPC nullsec station, wait out his 10sec timer, launch a warp disrupt probe and dock immediately. If done correctly, there is no way this character can be killed.
This bubble can be bombed off the undock, but there is essentially zero risk to the interdictor pilot should he choose to avoid actually engaging in a hostile action.
This tactic has been termed "hobojamming."
I'd like to bring back the 60 second aggression timer should someone attempt to warp inside a warp disrupt probe bubble. This would give the dictor pilot the ability to drop a bubble and dock once. Should he undock again and someone attempts to warp in his bubble, he will be unable to dock for 60 sec the same way any other aggressive action is treated. |

While this isn't as bad as the proposals to make the bubble auto agro, you still have the undesirable aggression on gates, which greatly reduces the ability of a single dictor to catch an enemy fleet. Really, a station only fix is needed so that the currently good gate mechanics stay the same.
I'm still in favor of just allowing smartbombs at 0 to nullsec stations. Done, problem solved, can probably even smartbomb the dictor to death with the bubble. |

Mixed feelings. This sounds like an issue, but I'd also like the preserve the ability of dictors to warp to a gate, bubble, jump, bubble without potentially getting caught on the first side because someone tried to warp.
Currently I'm leaning towards no change if it would change the way dictors bubbling gates would work, on the basis of "Risks of NPC Null"
But if you have a solution that prevents this behavior without nerfing off station dictors, I'd support it. |

Add a "tactical equipment" timer. That affects bubbles (and possibly other future equipments/deployables, hell maybe when we get mines back).
Basically it acts like a weapons timer with regards to logging off, and docking with stations, but has no effect on jumping through gates. |

Why not just give the HIC a 2 minute weapons timer for launching the probe? Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

+1 so long as it doesn't aggro when you drop the bubble but aggros when a person tries to warp in the bubble. Like it used to. |
