We need some way to catch JFs. Currently they warp to POS and Explode, or warpto the Lowsec Gate and can't be caught. Bubbles should pull any ship jumping in system to the bubble.
BTW: Umadbro? Some drake burn out of your bubble before you could lock? |

Hang on. You thought I was serious there? Are you High? Also if you jump into a Nullsec system via gate in a *Jump*Freighter, you deserve the loss on your km. |

Hang on. You thought I was serious there? Are you High? Also if you jump into a Nullsec system via gate in a *Jump*Freighter, you deserve the loss on your kb. Actually, in eveonline it is common to refer to the use of regular stargates as a "jump". And my use of the word "Freighter" and not "jump freighter" i think this was obvious i was referring to peolpe jumping freighters through 0.0 space. If you think this is dumb or highly uncommon and only done by idiots, you're wrong. Many major alliances do convoys with freighters thourgh 0.0. Anyways, aside from all that, i do think we need 'webbing' bubbles in addition to the current warp bubbles we have
OP's (terrible) Suggestion was to add webbing effects to bubbles. They'd still prevent warp, but they'd also slow you down. Freighter gates in, Bubble+Web=Death, no instawarp.
My (troll) suggestion was to make bubbles drag JFs(and other caps) to the bubble as soon as they Cyno in.
Neither suggestion implies insta warp, and though I can kind of see how you might get instawarp freighter from OP, i thought you were commenting on my post.
Convoys of Freighters occur regularly and generally suck to be a part of. Going through a nullsec gate in a JumpFreighter is fairly insane, primarily because it doesn't need to. |

Now, I'm not a lowsec or 0.0 pilot, but a web bubble sounds like a fairly good idea, provided the web bubble is a seperate bubble type to a warp bubble, and there is an effect reduction if a warp bubble and a web bubble overlap.
There's no real way to reduce the effect of a bubble (since it's an infinipoint, and any range reduction will be compensated for by adding more. A webbing bubble of any strength makes crashing any gatecamp harder for no real cost to the camper, and if it's something along the lines of a normal web, it'll make it damn near impossible, since a lot of the time you need that coast from your pre-web high speed to make it to the gate alive. There's also almost no point in placing a web bubble anywhere except for overlapping with a warp bubble (though putting it on a mining fleet might be cool).
tl;dr Web Bubble: Useless or Overpowered depending on implementation. |
