I'm pretty sure this just means that you'll be pulled to the edge of the large bubble since it's closer than 500 km. The location of the anchored mobile warp disruptor isn't what's used to determine pulling/stopping, the field edge is. |

Am I wrong? Is everyone just assuming that getting pulled inside the large bubble is what would definitely happen? |

A) Yes. And you can do that now, just at 1000km. You can also do this using Interdictor bubbles (drop a 2nd as ships are landing on the edge), or a Heavy Interdictor fit with both a T1 and T2 bubble (keep the T1 up, put the T2 up as ships land).
So are you planning on fixing this, or do you consider it to be good gameplay? Because if you're going to cite intuitiveness as a reason for introducing the 500 km limit in the first place, you should consider that this behavior is pretty non-intuitive.
The way I'd suggest fixing this is instead of measuring the 500 km limit between the warp endpoint and the center of the bubble, measure it between the endpoint and the closest point on the bubble's edge (relative to the endpoint). |
