Cute, but how effective is this against say... 20 interceptors? Catching one or two, but a whole fleet?.
Why are you using one hictor against a fleet of 20 cepters? I'm not but I'd damn sure like to. Since all that invades nullsec these days are nullified ships, kinda leaves my hictor mothballed for supers that are obvious traps (daras....*sigh*) Chasing a ceptor fleet with ceptors is a damn benny hill show, gee thats fun.
Why chase? Let them get comfortable moving through a pipe and wait for them with a full set of smartbombing, webbing, pointing BS's when they start to head home. Don't be surprised at how predictable their pattern and timing can be. Cover both gates and Mwah! You have a bunch of moths in a bottle. Hope they don't get too close to the flame. |

While thats an interesting thought it's not applicable and you know it. A jump freighter is a cargo ship, a hictor is a combat ship designed to stop other ships. I don't think implementing either a specialized t2 rig or a new bubble gen that would create a 15km bubble that only stopped nullied ships isn't game breaking.
As far as the smartbombing thing, i've found that result may very and usually they still get away and with the nullification and warp speed are gone with no way to catch them besides chasing them around a region in ceptors. This isn't about trying to create a "e-z-win" mode for nullsec, this is creating a fair way to defend one's space from this abused game mechanic.
Your results may vary, but so did theirs when you caught a few of them with the smartbombs.
Besides, what'd you expect to happen? The majority of null territory is owned by Goonswarm, and the majority of players are not members of Goonswarm. Did you want a nice white picket fence to go with your Sov? |

No, but regardless of whether I was in goons or not no ship should be able to infiltrate space with such impunity. The day I can lock in less than two seconds and that very instant apply a scram i'll stop asking for this. Truth be told I don't like hictors, kinda why I have five of them sitting in a my hangar packaged since late 2008 sometime...
If you have a problem with people entering your space unimpeded you also have a problem with wormholes opening in null sec, cloaks, and basically anyone that plays during your corp's downtime.
It happens. It's not a disadvantage. Learn to use it against people who come to rely on these things and pop them when they get lazy.
If they don't get lazy? Find out where they live and return the favor. |
