19.2 with heavy dictor 4. BTW, regular dictors do that already and don't get stuck in space going 400m/s with their mwd running.

I'm sure they have their own use... example, park one in a gate, pop it up when something might come through, uh oh, seems we better get out of here, bubble deactivates in nearly no time versus the other bubbles and you all warp.
No need to A. carry warp probes(they eventually run out) and wait the 2 minutes if you need a sudden change in plans, or B. Haul an anchorable bubble aound, eating cargo and a decent sized time to anchor/online.
Think of it as a living breathing anchorable bubble with guns/missiles. Not to mention if you drop a bubble it's there and...well it's stuck there, with this you can pop the bubble up, test its area and adjust accordingly, or if a ship comes through and you approach, you slightly lower his chance of escaping the bubble.

1. do WCS save you from it? (ie 1 point scram)? 2. does it drag from warp? 3. does it cause aggro? 4. does it work on supercaps?

Sounds like it's going to be basically worthless. As soon as you pop off the bubble you get primaried and explode, you're warp scrambling, webbing and target painting yourself, who woulden't want to shoot at you? Also a lower range than existing bubbles? Existing dictor sounds better in every respect. Gate camping, fleet fights, small gang fights the dictor is going to be 10x more survivable.
They need to just rename the ship "the flying coffin".

1. NO 2. NO 3. YES -can't use in empire either 4. will not stop them from cyno jumping out. lag on SISI and DEV not watching local so not sure if it prevents warp out yet.

AD3 - it has one advantage. When you camp gate, you automatically auto-aggro ppl who jump in = no logoffski will save you. You hover in space for 15 minutes :)
EDIT: but lack of ability to drag ship from warp is **** :(

Edited by: Azuse on 24/10/2007 23:38:51 It follows hence the speed (which sucks imo but thats eve) but the op is focusing solely on the mod rather than the ship.
It's also worth noting the purpose of these is not to replace but compliment the standard dictors, supposedly they're for tackling capital with a special mod which isn't on test yet while ccp finish the stats for it.
As for the ships they all get 5% to resists per heavy dictor lvl, they're tanks are insane even if damage is lacking.
E.G mimi hd has 6 mids, 5% bonus to resists with the base being the vagas base shield resist.
It sat in ffa 3, a myrm, cane, damnation and ishtar start shooting it. Myrm pops. Cane pops. Damnation gets bored and leaves, Ishtar runs out of drones (thx ccp) and gets bored. Then some poor astarte comes along and pops.
Caldari one is the same, it's dps is crappy (roughly caracal lvl but put a 500 dps hac on it it sits comfortably at 90/95% shield. Sisi may change at any time but these are tough buggers atm

Edited by: Futher Bezluden on 25/10/2007 00:24:30 yes, the initial viewing of the module was a bit misleading and I really got my hopes up that it was a gravity well generator capable of striking legitimate fear into nano-squads. The ships themselves are amazing things with tanks you wouldn't believe, CCP actually made a minmatar ship that pilots of other races will like flying.
Yes, the "5% armor resists" on the broadsword is a typo, it's 5% to shield resistances. THUKKER -Be Paranoid

not that the ship could go fast with a mwd anyways, with such a gigantic mass (16m tons on the caldari one??). guess this one will fit AB's instead mwd's.
it doesn't invalidate the analysis I made before: HI's are 200mil isk coffins.

To get to where you need to be -right in the middle of the blobfest- you need the mwd's speed to get in. There is nothing to prevent the blob from mwd'ing away from you currently. Perhaps with the "Script" to be introduced, it will be able to act as a "Web Field". THUKKER -Be Paranoid

It's good that heavy interdictors will have some flavor to them, penalty is harsh I agree but there are many ways to use this ships.
Just because you envisioned it would be a perfect anti-nano ship and it isn't doesn't mean it's useless.
What I wanted from this ships/modules: 1. Bubble usable in low-sec 2. 1 str bubble (not unlimited) so it wouldn't be that overpowered in low-sec 3. Don't pull ships from warp
I think this is almost exactly what we will get, vulnerable low-sec dictor. ----- Arbitrator - Life & Death |

Its 19.2 km with hacdictor 4.
1. Can someone confirm that 1 WCS doesnt negate the effects if they do that wouldnt be very usefull. (if they dont then why 1 point of strength dont make sense to me tbh) 2. I was hoping it could also fit the std dictor bubble launcher oh well 3. While I like the idea of a tanked moving dictor bubble (which will come very handy in bubbling MoMs and carriers) I think it sucks that the speed is completely nerfed, whats stopping hostiles from flying away at 600 ms+ to escape the bubble? nothing perhaps a slight speed penalty on target ships 30% penalty to tragets mwd/ab bonus.

And stationary, and a different ship class, and perform different functions. These ships are going, are, changing fleet and gang warfare in 0.0. They're the heaviest tanked tacklers around but i'd wait and see exactly how they effect carriers before condeming them.
If ccp reduce carriers effectiveness against smaller foes like they stated they will then these ships will be invaluable and their cap wont die instantly if neuted like and its would. --------------------------

I am happy with the news I am hearing.
Did you really think that CCP was going to create an area of efect module that would warp scramble and web pilots on it?
The bubble can already move towards people (albeit slowly), that is huge, has bonus to tanking (to compensate the painter you put yourself?).
His use won't be everyday, but I am sure that they are intended to bubble cap and supercaps... and that is what they are going to do...

most important is:
i know the heavy dictor cant be remote repped when field is active.. but can other ships caught in the bubble be repped?
can infact this ship be an effective counter to spiderweb tanking carrier blobs?

Given the huge mass decrease on the HI when its active.. imagine it charging into a pack of BSes and bubble up. An easy counter would be just get a vaga or something to bumb it at 8km/s and it goes flying ~50km away.
As for the heavy tank, if you are putting your HI in 19.1km range to bubble stuff up.. expect heavy neuts to drain all your cap instantly. No cap, no tank. |

How hard can it be to work around the speed nerf? Activate the mwd and pop the dictor bubble when you're within web range or just before your target warps? And what do you mean by not being able to activate them in empire. Can you activate them in lowsec or not?
And no, they're not making the interdictors useless. Seems to me the dictor HAC's will be good lowsec gatecampers, cabable of tanking sentries and catch anything without stabs, while the dictor will remain in use like previously. Yarr |

What the hell? How will it do this when it webs, target paints, and warp scrambles itself? Instead what will really happen is you turn that mod on when they are still any support around and then you get blown up in two seconds. At least with a dictor you can move fast enough that you won't die unless you are webbed, or you can pop a bubble warp out then warp back in etc..

that's my point.
the only thing that I can see from HI's that are a plus is the tank, besides that is too heavy and the module that is used specifically by him is basically put this large bullseye on the ship.
oh and tbh they will be as good low-sec campers as HAC's since the module can't be activated on empire. ---

Empire = 0.5-1.0 Low-sec = 0.1-0.4 0.0 = 0.0
So if you know something about HIs and their magical module at least use a proper terminology to describe it

Edited by: Ort Lofthus on 25/10/2007 18:33:36 When I saw the dev blog stating that they prevent jump out, I thought it meant jumping out via gates. I'm guessing I was wrong 
That said, if this thing shut down the ability of ships to use gates it would be infinatly useful. Enemy force sitting on an empire gate? Just jump in one of these babies and hit the field to pin them there. If they aggro to kill the HD, then they are still stuck long enough to pop em. Also stops of the silly jump-games people play as well as negating the MWD to gate as a way out of a camp, which nearly all 'ceptors and dictors can do without getting killed. Would be a useful ability but still not replace the interdictors ability to stop stabbed ships or survivability.

lowsec is considered empire for game mechanic purposes (bubbles etc).

hey hey
havent tested the warp bubblethingymajig yet but the actual Heavy Dictor was really fun.
I liked the 6x mids but er. . wanted an 7th just for that warp scram 
With the quick setup mashed together it got some very decent resists and still got very decent damage. as someone already posted you can get a very good turn of speed out of them as well. This ship is quite versitile and even with the pregimped warp thing i liked it.
Give it a drone bay pretty please.
The warp thing is very pre gimped but looks usefull in small gangs as a portable bubble to prevent runaways jumping.

Empire = 0.5-1.0 Low-sec = 0.1-0.4 0.0 = 0.0
So if you know something about HIs and their magical module at least use a proper terminology to describe it
Now for the love of god can anyone check if its usable in low-sec??
lowsec is considered empire for game mechanic purposes (bubbles etc).
We have: empire hisec, empire losec and 0.0
Carriers and motherships seem to contradict this 'game mechanic'. If they really will be only usable in 0.0 then Rev.3 is getting less and less interesting.
First Black Ops are useless, then maruders are worthy of flying only if you happen to use Kronos and now we got a really useless ship class (multiple responses about how normal dictors are more useful & less likely to die, not to mention cheaper). ----- Arbitrator - Life & Death |

You mean like the multiple bull**** that golem will make less damage than a raven because of NPC-Defenders, while it actual make more damage because of the NPC-Defenders? You mean that kind of multiple bull**** where ppl thought this HD modul prevent gate jumping? Come on!
Its pre-patch! Ppl are ****ed off because the carrier-thingy, ppl are ****ed off cause some gallente ships lost some drone ooohmp, ppl are ****ed off because its becoming winter AND ppl tend to talk bull**** if they are ****ed off.
This Modul have 2 key effects: preventing stuff from warping and preventing stuff from cyro jumping. I think in the "prevent stuff from warping" role it will be clearly beaten by the dictor - after all that IS the dictors unique role! The reason that the HD-Bubble prevent from warping is a more a matter to prevent the HD from warping away than to warp jam others! If you try to tackel a capital you should not be able to warp of in any case.
The Heavy Dictor will be unique in "preventing stuff from cyro jumping" - for the trade off of his mobility. This way the zig billion expensive captials actualy still have a change to escape!
Think about - what would happen if a HD would tackle a capital while running a 5km/s orbit and could be remote repaired and could warp off in many cases? Hmm? Any chance that the half fleet will keep this single HD alive at all cost while the other half kill the capital? If you try to hold a capital you have to succeed or pay with your ship - thats only fair.
If it can not prevent cyro jumping it will be indeed useless, but I doubt he will.

You paint a very pretty picture here. However right now I'm not worried about catching capitals in 0.0 but I'm really concerned by not being able to catch a MS in low-sec.
Big alliances are quite capable in fielding a fleet that can catch (neut, bump, tackle) anything, I'd like to see a bone thrown to the little man.
I don't have a problem with the negative effects of this bubble on HI, I just want to be able to use it in low-sec. ----- Arbitrator - Life & Death |

"Warp Disruption Field Generator, which prevents all ships within its range from warping or jumping"

Looks like people have missed the memo :
Originally by: CCP Gangleri There is a script coming for this module which makes it a targeted effect for use against a capital ship, details have not been nailed down yet so it's not been seeded on Sisi. Everything on Sisi is susceptible to change from day to day. Give it a little more time before you start condemning the new ships to the scrapheep 
ps. if you don't know what scripts are that may be because they won't be on Sisi quite yet.
And oh, cross posting from other forums (Game Development Forum) is a no-no. Main thread here : http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=621151&sid=158839710 -------

Jumping, as in preventing caps to jump to cynos. If it prevented ships to actually use the jump gates... now that would be overpowered.
It's great being Amarr, aint it?

Tbh people, the term heavy interdictor is abit misleading. It snot really an interdictor. The interdictor does dictory things, this bit of kit has a different set of roles.
Its main advatanage is the no lock time tackle. This ship can stop a ship warping away especially in those anoying siutautiosn where nobody has managed to lock it in time or no one has managed to get mulitple points on.
Thereofre ship uses is geared towrds fleet ops, You wack on the module, get the inital tackle, wait for your buddies to get locks and point and your module flips off. You have managed to tackle efficently with out getting your whole fleet stuck in a dictor bubble for 2mins where it is vunerable.
for solo work a similar idea is used, warp ontop of the enemy in lets say a belt, wack on the filed to stop him warping while you lock tackle and get webs on. then set about killing normally. the number of times ive landed on people just as they exit the belt is infurating.

Looking forward to the HI, the Speed penalties are a 'little' too harsh but overall they will be win......when finalised. |

TBH having four strong penalties (plus not being able to warp or be repped) is a bit excessive.
Some of those penalties couldbe removed without making heavy dicotrs overpowerful.

tbo these things are looking to turn into suicide ships, guaranteed death any time you go into combat with one. The thinking seems a little backwards on this one and I really cant see what they were thinking in designing this.
