It's 10 seconds unless you bling the cloak. Then you can get to 9 with bling. |

ok 20 sec. is for unskilled cloak. with cloaking 4 its 12 seconds for improved cloak (which is still a LOT) a,d 18 seconds f++r prototype. What I'm saying is cloaky sabre is gimped and kills just total noobs. |

you do know how smartbombing works yeah? nothing to do with interdiction nullification or align time, and if smartbombing wasnt effective then you wouldnt have smartbombing camps in nearly every pipeline in lowsec, it works for me because doesnt matter how many people you kill in rancer they just keep coming and its super funny

smartbombs arent an effective counter to nullified interceptors. Stop asking to bring a slowest subcap ship class in game for hunting the fastest ships. |

doesnt matter how fast a ship is, the smartbombs kill them when landing and they have bad tank, so they die, you just want them removed so you can get easier kills in your sabre.
so what about the cloaky mwd trick, i suppose you are agaisnt that which is pretty much on every ship you come across now

no, I'm not against cloak-mwd trick, since bubbles help. im against entry level, 15m ships which negate 99.9% of the whole eve universe and offer safe travel across null/WH by just repeatedely clicking the jump button. |

Not sure he even flies an interdictor, though, considering the lack of awareness he has about the mechanics behind it. After all, you supposedly need 20s to lock someone after decloaking in order to keep them from warping off with your bubbles.

Like I said there are lowsec some people doing sb camps yet they have done them forever, they have nothing to do with interceptor hunting specifically. In null sec hardly anyone is doing it. The good thing is that the smartbomb BS do not need to move at all to intercept ceptors. They just need to be in the right spot between gates.

- 1, would wreck balance for solo roamers who can slip past large gate camps. Also why are ceptors "aids" they are easy as hell to kill in frig pvp and are not a threat to most ships, unless they pack a cyno. Smart bomb camps are more common then you think. The fact a ship is low sp/entry level has little to do with its balance. Interdiction nullification is important otherwise you will shift balance to people who are there for easy as hell kills or will force the solo roamer into small gangs or larger. |

They could of solved the stupidity of un-manny bubble by changing bubbles instead of giving a class of ship the ability to force a comp on any camp willing to stop them. It's smartbomb or bust to catch these now. |

Of course giving immunity to inties was easier but that does not mean it's the best way to deal with the issue.
Making bubbles de-activate based on a timer would of done it. It would of required a minimal manning of those bubbles at least on an interval instead of the state they were where you could bubble a gate and leave it like that for days unless someone did the hard work of shooting them. |

what if I said, the sabre is not cloaked and even moving? Stop making empty assumptions. It also could be a hic, or another interceptor camping an anchorable bubble, or hac, or a caracal, maybe assault frigate or pirate faction frigate. Yet bubble nullification negates all those sorts of dangers. |

I still think it's a bad design to have the best tool to kill an interceptor be a battleship with a rack of smartbomb no matter how close or far from a definition of hunting this activity can be. |

I'm missing something here. When they gave the nullification buff to interceptors.... remind me again of what they took away.
Since they didn't remove anything when giving the buff, per your above rules the nullification buff should be... nullified. You're making an 'empty assumption' that nerfs and buffs are balanced. In this case there was no balance.
TLDR you're argument makes no sense - SPECIFICALLY when talking about interceptors that got a nullification buff w/ no corresponding nerf. (picture yourself painted into a corner holding a brush and bucket of paint) |

is this a self backing argument? That we cant stop them right now is exactly the topic here and worst game design. like others pointed out already. |

When you paint yourself that hard into a corner, you have at least a roller or even a paint gun in your hand. Not a lousy brush. |
