any chance of having you pod 'eject' at speed from your ship ?...getting a bit cheesed at interdictor bubble pk'ing, seems far too easy to pk with these.
16M clone
100M implants
and interdictor bubble gank squad...priceless !!!

Perhaps you should fly a fast ship? it will get you out of the bubble most likely.

Interceptors are quick. The majority of the time they have no trouble catching a ship and webbing it before it leaves the bubble, or just sniping the target before it makes it out.

jump clones ftw
edit: you do have a good point, whats the point of ejecting into a pod to land on the interdictr bubble! kinda takes away the eject in the first place
perhaps they should make pods imune to them?

Are you the alt of the "killer chick" and "slave chick" characters that we podded last night?
If so, you deserved it just for smacking us in local, and doing pvp without decent intel about enemy movements.
An interdictor is about the only real way to catch a pod that don't lag and know what's it's doing, and they're a double-edged weapon, so they're fine.

no im not....just consider your apology accepted. Try keeping it to the topic only please. I realize its difficult..for some. Didnt mean to post with alt.
The basics are. interdictor locks you..webbed..drops bubble can say good bye to pod. Pods should not be immune from bubbles but it should be a bit more tricky than that to pk someone especially as the consequence could be the most serious of all ....SP loss.
Of course killing peeps is all part of the fun, have no issues with that.

1) for gods sakes don't call it pk'ing.
2) seriously. just don't.
3) isn't the entire function of the interdictor as a way, in 0.0, to be able to catch the enemy without them being able to get away?

you may be right, its an open discussion to freely give your opinion. What i was wondering was, ok you use the bubble to catch the ship...ok thats fine...but should the same bubble catch the pod with no extra effort?

doesnt mention specialized 'blowing-upness of ones pod'..(PK is so much easier).
See the dictionary on left hand column. The easy to say word you are looking for is "podding". Which is why I think you shouldn't be in 0.0 anyhow.

I hope you do know, that fighting INSIDE the bubble is risky for both sides? I got podded twice already inside my own bubble when my own dictor went *pop* and i couldnt escape.
Also like it was stated earlier - this is the only way of catching pods if hostile pilot knows what is he doing.
And there are many ways of escaping from dictor bubbles (speed/cloak etc) - but as dictor pilot i wont give you details :)

Sad to say it but this freaking interdictor podding discourage even more the carebears to touch 0.0.And wait till they become hugely popular...it'll be a mess...
With this concept CCP was too cruel with its casual playerbase.

The sort of carebear who cries about losing his pod to an interdictor doesnt belong in 0.0 anyway.

Not like you can use all that standing you have gained by running lvl4s in empire t buy a jump clone so you don't et podded with implants, is it?

You can always log off, that will get the pod out of the bubble. But any good interdictor pilot will have a covert standing by to catch those that try, starting to loose count on the number of ships/pods probed down and killed after logging to get out of a bubble.

Risk vs Reward
And what will you do about alt spies that use shuttles/pods ? How can you catch them ?
An ID is an invaluable asset to any fleet small or big (even roaming squads benefit) because you have a mobile bubble launcher.
Now, have you done ANY PvP ? Been in 0.0 ever ? Well, personally I'm bored of having to dedicate 2-3 of my slots just to be able to scramble somebody cause of the multible stabs fitted.
How about people that use a full wrack of stabs ? You need multible people on him and people that die that way tend to scream "GANK! GANK!".
I'm happy that the ID is here ... I can finally kill all those annoying shuttles and pods.

Any smart interdictor pilot will petition you for exploiting (yes it is known bug with spheres).

/me hugs jump clones.
Easy way to avoid dictor bubbles would be to stay out of 0.0.

Yea, because you should need a scout alt for moving a T1 frigate through 0.0. Or maybe that's a LITTLE overreaction.
Oh and Deva, I know plenty of 'dictor pilots who drop the bubble and log, so...

If you log in combat you deserve to die imo. If you don't know how to travel safely through 0.0, maybe you shouldn't be in it, instead takin the easy way and complaining because you couldn't be assed to scout, use map function or swap to jump clone without implants.

Those guys don't know how to fly an interdictor... its quite easy to get out of trouble with an interdictor since dropping a sphere is not aggressive (nor should it be - anchoring a bubble isn't either).

Assumption - that the combats were at a gate. They were not.
Deva Blackfire, can you provide a link to where it's declared an exploit? Thanks!

Don't risk something you can't afford to lose. If you didn't have an up-to-date clone, and the ability to take a podkill loss without financial problems, you shouldn't have been out there - its your fault, simple as that.
Either accept the risks or stay in empire.

there is allways bringing out a battlecruiser or even a cruiser, doubt an interdictor can take much firepower since they are destroyers based and as such have ****ty defense.

Interdictors are rarely, if ever, alone.
Oh, and if you see one alone its probably a trap and you should immediately safespot.
(now I should be able to run gate camps easier!  )
