Now that it's been a little while, what does everyone think of bubble-immune interceptors, and buffed warp speeds?

Has it brought dynamic gameplay, rich PvP, and variety to the game?

Or has it killed the nullsec landscape, completely undermined any system domination/interdiction, encouraged more mindless blobbing, and overall "fixed broke what wasn't broke?"

Personally, I detest the change. It relegates my entire Wednesday to the rubbish bin. Once was a time when Wednesday would roll around and I would forget what a scram was, set up a bubble or two, and kill Inties and pods all day long with my railguns, at minimal risk to myself.

But no more. Anymore CCP seems to expect me to pay attention to things like scram range, scan res, and d-scan on Wednesdays.

Something tells me your post actually starts at 'Or has'.

I love interceptors.

Make the Venture and that other Ore ship bubble-immune and up the rare mineral/gas content of nullsec then see what happens.

A majority of hisec miners cry tears because there's rich stuff in areas of space that they still won't go to.

On the high end of speed, I think the changes are great.

On the low end (freighters through battlecruisers) I think the ships are a bit too slow, so as to make the game feel tedious when flying them.

Tweaks and rebalances are fine -- but SHINY, NEW STUFF is BETTER.

The real problem is bubbles.

The game mechanics lets people setup gate camps that are all or nothing. Kill everything they catch and fail to kill anything immune to the bubble.

Its not a good game feature.

Would that be the person reading it to you?

I don't know; do you?

Immunity to bubbles created a new nano age, and like the old nano age it's terrible balance and results in a binary ship option; "do I want to win? then I'll need nano/inty". The result of this plague of inties is that it completely messed up true solo pvp. It's easily the worst decision Fozzie And Rise have made so far

This is what I wrote back when it got introduced, and I still stand by it.

To be honest it seems like the timing is pretty perfect for the rise of ships designed to do hit and run attacks on soft targets with the current state of nullsec being full of renters.

Consider this Murder of Crows to be the sprinkles on your blue donut that you are now being forced to eat.


Now excuse me while I get back to mah RoflChoppah.

Smartbombs can be defended against with stabs now?

Curious

No, but the only way for an Interceptor to end up in smartbomb range is to put themselves there and it's not terribly hard to avoid doing so if you're actually worried about getting smartbombed.

Or just don't bother, because your ship costs 30 mil and you can fly a new one out from Jita in 15 minutes.

Am I posting in a stealth "nerf bubble immunity" thread?

It's annoyingly hard to catch stabbed interceptors.

Try catching an Ares with 4 stabs and agility rigs...


You need something like a 4 mid ceptor with scan res rigs and lows, 3 scrams and remote sebo booster... and even then it's still hard because most of the time the server ticks decide that the ships are in warp...

Don't get me started on the cloaky stabbed Asteros all over the place...
