No. Why don't you want to have 2 hours timer? You can still camp ships on poses with them, or setup small camp. All you need is fuel in cargo. I want to nerf ability to anchor hundreds forever lasting bubbles with zero effort.

Bubbles used this way destroy content, why? Last time i checked 95% of sov 0.0 leave in peace, generating zero content for others, just making isks. WoW style playing. Most of the content in addition to wars generates small roaming groups. Unfortunately there is no reason to fight with us, you can just stay docked, smack on local and wait until we move somewhere else. Easiest way to force fight is catching some fancy isk printing machine.

The failure in your logic is you think warp bubbles last forever. Warp bubbles are very easy to pop, so if you're caught by a 200km stop bubble, simply have your fleet pop it and continue on.

As I said before. Bubbles have been int he game for a very long time. There are methods for dealing with them and I'm hardly an authority on the tactics for doing so, but they're not a afkwinallsnooze button you make them out to be.

Bubbles are not the reason you don't find targets in null. Granted they may slow you down, but any ratter/miner in null worth anything is watching intel and sees you coming from several systems away.

As far as generating zero content goes, your going out to hunt them is not considered zero content. You occasionally find one not paying attention to intel and get s kill, that is not zero content. The fact that they don't simply line up for you to kill is not a matter of game mechanics, but of their choice to avoid pvp.

Um, because POS mechanics and sov mechanics are measured in days not hours and I might as well just have a couple of hicter pilots at that point? I mean hypothetically I "could" camp a POS with them, but anyone who has actually done it will tell you you're completely high to think that's an ok alternative.

Yes they are, but 3, 4 and more years ago wars generates content everywhere, where is this content now?

Rest of your post shows lacks in your pvp experience.

As long as small groups can't do anything else to spawn fight permanent bubbles are the main problem. If we can not move fast, we are losing our only advantage.

Bubbles have nothing to do with pos mechanics, or sov mechanics it was intended to be tool for pirate or tactic tools during fights.

If you are affraid of pos shooting your bubbles, try to remove guns first.

Great idea here folks...

Anti-bubbles...

HIC only, deploy your anti-bubble and if it covers at least 50% of a normal bubble or disruptor, they destroy each other.

Add in a flashy explosion with random colors.

I now eagerly await the first HICDisco party video on Youtube.

The only thing I would be in favor of is increasing the build cost of bubbles slightly, large bubbles especially.

That being said, if an alliance is willing to allow 200-300 million isk in bubbles to go poof undefended then I'm all for allowing them whatever marginal security that provides them from people like the OP who arent inventive enough to come up with a solution to that problem.

I hope you remember was was said about titans: "they are extremely expensive so there should be only few in entire game". Changing prices won't change this situation. 200 - 300 mln isk one ratting corp can earn in less than hour.

But poor solo taranis pilot will have to choose between buying new ship or bubble.

my idea for bubbles would be simpler

small mobile warp disruptor will have fuel bay for 6 hours . if someone attack the bubble device and down to 25% of shields
it go into reinforced mode, buble is down for hour , then it exit reinforced and can be destroyed otherwise after fuel reserve is depleted then bubble is offline

medium mobile warp disruptor
fuel bay for 12 hours of online bubble it can be reinforced for 2 hours


large mobile warp disruptor
fuel bay for 24 hours of online buble, can be reinforced for 3 hours

factional mobile warp disruptor
fuel bay for 48 hours can be reinforced for 4hours

Yes , but.
I fit my battleship for a full tank, pack it's cargo hold full of large bubbles , and drop in the middle of enemy capital fleet.
I drop next disruptor when the first dies , i got reps from logistics.

Battleship class HIC?

Oh and i have carriers , can i make them capital class hics, 10k m3 of large warp distributors.

The difference from today bubbles is 180 sec of anchoring and they last forever or until destroyed. So today you can have capital Hic with 10km3 (around 17?) of large T2 bubbles, that's bubbling forever x 17.

After the change, your Battleship class HIC deploy the bubble in the middle of capital fleet, then someone bumps you, and the bubble pops! Your capital HIC at least will be scrammed and bubbled in the process, 3, 2, 1 hot drop incoming.

Try some bloob fights

For example : Ghost riding changes
Right now in order to catch a super people are using Ghost riders :

1. Find a super in a cyno frigate.
2. Place a cyno
3. Jump in a carrier ( titans are often to far)
4. Launch HIC from a carrier
5. Change ships ; point the super ; light the cyno for the rest of the fleet.


What you are proposing :

1. Find a super in a cyno frigate.
2. Place a cyno , near the super
3. Jump in the carrier, deploy Large Mobile Disruptor & place the cyno using your carrier.

Now think about how this can be abused during the fleets, want a anti bomber defense?
Drop bubble , and replace it every <2minutes , by moving away and drop another.

Want to insta warp off whole fleet?
You don't have to wait for dictor bubbles to explode, for a HIC cycle to end, just move away from current bubble

Sov holders keep talking about how highsec should gang up and do something about one coalition taking all of null.

Then when this is suggested everyone becomes very reluctant.


So whatever twists their panties gets a +1 from me. The one time I WAS interested in exploring Null I met such an uncamped gate of about 60 bubbles, and by the time I got out of it, the baddies arrived.

Mobile Warp Disruptors should be content generators, not tool for avoiding content.

Right now most of these are anchored in 0.0 on gates to prevent small pvp groups from moving fast trough space.

Devs gave us intreceptors but they won't survive long enough on rats fire when gang have to fly 200km+ to the gate and same distance on the other side of the gate.

My solution is simple: Mobile Warp Disruptors should use fuel, and has small fuelbay, for 1 max 2 hours. Or just explode after 1, 2 hours. Its fair for tactic pvp usage on grid, or setting up small camp.

You can still set up bubble on gate to your farming system, but not 50 like today.

What has Mobile Warp Disruptor to do with content? Today we have 2 oponents in sov war, Days with small local wars everywhere in galaxy are gone long ago. The only left content ganerate people from small gangs who roaming sov 0.0 systems, but current situation make this work really hard.

CCP changed rats agro (npc pirates should be more than happy that we want to kill thier Nemesis), added mjd. I hope devs don't chenged mind and this is still pvp game where small groups with high game skills can find something for theirself.
