I've gotten 16 pages in and wanted to get my thoughts out before continuing. I have a couple added suggestions, some not quite as great as others.
If there is not a serious balance issue that I am aware of can we introduce that a focused T2 Hictor point stop a spool up as well as scrambler? I feel like this is an idea worth considering as the focused script only tackling supers is very niche and Hictor's as a whole are used for this purpose probably more than the actual bubbling. Though I know for wormholing it is more common.
The focused disruption script for the T2 module is what I mean if that sounds confusing.
Second idea: Introduce a Jump Disrupt Probe for the Interdiction Sphere Launcher (oldschool name dunno if its still called this) that stops all MJD spool ups or at least if it isnt already spooling it cannot be activated, similar to the warp if you initiate warp before a bubble goes down it basically negates it. I mention this idea as it gives more credibility to some earlier posts about the Dictor being more obsolete. Introduce an expanded launcher variant but it takes more fitting and even with crazy implants/rigs you can only fit one as opposed to the standard two launcher cloaky fit. Or give the role penalty of only one may be fitted as some other classes have for other modules.
Also final idea: maybe give the MJD similar mechanics of an acceleration gate. Once the spooling has started only a scrambler can deactivate as is now but if Hictor points it with its script the spooling continues but also prevents it from being activated like a scrambler if it is not already spooling. Just in case none of these were proposed in the thread or in internal discussions already I thought I'd take a whack at it.
Thoughts? |

This will allow it to be tackled by multiple long points, or a faction long point, or a scripted HIC (credit to badboymark)
*Edited to update suggestions.
Pretty sure I introduced the idea first. Thanks for reading my post.

Osant wrote:Dear CCP Fozzie, what about counter-measures? AFAIK when MJD (large version) was just introduced CCP had an idea to deal with it using Mobile MJD Disruptors. But currently we have only one thing - Warp Scrambler and this is not enough ofc. So my proposal as counter-measures (just a list of different variations):
- New mobile structure - Mobile MJD Disruptor (one size, T1/T2/Faction, radius as Large Mobile Warp Disruptor, affects only MJD ability and doesn't prevent usual warp or jump, also can't be anchored in activation range of Mobile Microjump structure)
- New probe for Interdiction Sphere Launcher - *%name%* Disrupt Probe (radius/volume as Warp Disrupt Probe, affects only MJD ability and doesn't prevent usual warp or jump)
- New script for Heavy Interdictors - Focused *%name%* Disruption (and again affects only MJD ability and doesn't prevent usual warp or jump)
I already proposed every single one of these ideas. Thanks for the +1 |

We're going to remove Attack Battlecruisers from the list of ships that can use this module in the first iteration, since there are some legitimate concerns with how this would interact with ABCs in small gang combat. How about returning functionality to the hic infinity point and giving dictors some sort of specialized probe to balance this?

I think that dictors (not HIC's) should be able to fit a "special" 24km warp disruptor that shuts off MJD's (and maybe MWD's) which would give these ships some use outside of bubbling and null sec I mean.... if people are developing this technology it would stand to reason that people would be developing a countermeasure
