Dendrin Koljn Minmatar Elite United Corp	Posted - 2006.11.24 00:02:00 - [1] Firstly, Hello to all you Bad people I've been wondering if any of you actually use bubbles, in what is my view, properly - in empty space ? I've only ever come across them being used at gates....which is just an extension of the standard 'Gank' (not really piracy). If any of you do do it, or know of a thread that covers it, I'd like to know.
Keta Min Pre-nerfed Tactics	Posted - 2006.11.24 00:22:00 - [2] yes you can use them in empty space, sit in your safe and wait till someone happens to have the same safespot as you. then you can bubble him. that way you'll be a real pirate and litteraly pirate empty space. i mean you don't want to be lame and collect billions of loot from gank victims, after all real pirates don't gank - they hunt in empty space.
DrLogan New Age Solutions	Posted - 2006.11.24 00:36:00 - [3] I was ratting in 0.0 in a raven when an interdictor jumped in on me, dropped a bubble, 3 of his friends jumped into the system and warped to him. But I was able to get out since I entered warp before the bubble dropped, <3 bugs.
Xykanth Roldeir	Posted - 2006.11.24 06:54:00 - [4] I've only ever heard of this tactic, I've never seen it in practical use. But it's effective from what I hear. You set up a warp bubble inbetween gates. Basically jump into one gate, bm while in warp. Warp back to your bm drop a bubble and use a bs with smart bombs. That way not even the pod has a chance and you are likely pounding your target before their tank goes online. Anyways like I said, I've never tried this myself but the theory seems sounds.

Dendrin Koljn Minmatar Elite United Corp	Posted - 2006.11.24 12:21:00 - [10] Thanks for the Sarcasm and useless replies, I always enjoy reading replies that have no thought behind them. I already knew 'how' to do it, but left it out in my original post in the (obviously vain) hope that I'd only get sensible replies . But it was worth it just for the following, Originally by: Xykanth Roldeir I've only ever heard of this tactic, I've never seen it in practical use. But it's effective from what I hear... Yep that's the tactic I was looking for - Originally by: Swamp Zero ....But the bubble needs to be within grid of the exit point :D 30km from the gate for example... Pity that ....gonna have to get some corpies to help me run a test, and find out how big the grid is i suppose. Thanks Folks keep up the good work....especially the flamers, I always like it when someone makes me superior

Verus Potestas Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2006.11.24 19:10:00 - [12] Yes, they are used in belts some times. Even so, they are not really designed for that IMO. Between corps atm, the NPC one is strictly a temporary thing. RAWR!111 Sig Hijackz0r!!11 - Immy
Arx Impera Amarr Imperial Space Corporation	Posted - 2006.11.25 01:36:00 - [13] Having no experience in interdictors, werent they thou to be able to pull people out of warp? As such, wouldnt a bubble between gates be useful too? As in there it is, the happy ship goes yay that there is no gatecamp, only to be bubbled mid way to his destination... Or is that not possible? -------------------------------------- 2 Jar of Dirt > 1 Jar of Dirt.
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.11.25 01:41:00 - [14] Originally by: Arx Impera Or is that not possible? Not possible. Must be in the grid of the exit point. -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!

As such, wouldnt a bubble between gates be useful too? As in there it is, the happy ship goes yay that there is no gatecamp, only to be bubbled mid way to his destination... Or is that not possible? If that is possible, you still have to place the bubble along their line of warp travel. Now the problem with this is that because gate instas only really work from one direction, many players would have a safe spot that all their instas work from. So you can't really tell which direction they will come in from. However with warp to 0, I'd expect that most people would just warp gate to gate so this might become more viable. ----------------- My door is always open, just don't go in.
Beastoria Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.11.25 11:01:00 - [16] Imo with warp to 0 they really should balance it by allowing dictor bubbles in low sec space. Or even the normal bubbles --------------------------------------------------

Jurai Ginaz	Posted - 2006.11.27 19:22:00 - [18] I think the interdictors should be re-coded. The warp bubbles are stupid and not really worth having a ship specialized for them. The Interdictors should be allowed to lock onto a target and 'link' with its warp drive. When that ship warps the interdictor warps along with it. They both share the warp tunnel. The interdictor can then use a module to scramble the warp tunnel and pull BOTH ships out of the warp. This makes the 'dictor extremely effective and also puts the 'dictor pilot at risk.. .he'll be in close range to whatever target he interdicts!
Narciss Sevar Caldari Sniggerdly	Posted - 2006.11.28 00:27:00 - [19] I don't think you'll need dictors and bubble in low sec. Kinda removes the point of 0.0. ----
Swor SniggWaffe	Posted - 2006.11.28 01:25:00 - [20] yeah believe it or not i'm against dictor bubbles in low sec, have hard enough time getting people (Targets) out there as it is.... i'd give CCP my left kidney if bubbles actually properly pulled people out of warp though, Mid point between 2 gates - omg i think i just creamed my panties thinking about all the possible fun
Benglada Finite Horizon The Red Skull	Posted - 2006.11.29 04:35:00 - [21] problem is, interdictor cant kill anything short of haullers. GL finding a solo hauller in a belt in 0.0 --------------------------- Originally by: Arkanor 0.0 is the Final Frontier. Bring money and friends.
Sinnbad Mayhem	Posted - 2006.11.30 00:05:00 - [22] Originally by: Benglada problem is, interdictor cant kill anything short of haullers. GL finding a solo hauller in a belt in 0.0 not to mention the interdictor pilot will get owned by the first recon pilot passing through looking for kicks i use to hink bubbles in low sec sucks until i find all my targets logging off in 0.0 so now I think it is good idea
