Come on, you have never once thought it was lame when a dictor warped in, bubbled your gang on the gate and jumped out scot free?
It's not lame at all. It's one of the only tactics you can use to either A) slow down a gang or B) force them to manouvre and/or fight.
This change just makes most of them one shot weapons and assumes everyone fits polys to their 'dictors. It also doesnt change its intended target, rigged and implanted 'dictors. They'll still be almost untouchable but your average joe in a dictor will just die more.
The ship and the bubble arn't a problem. Riggs and implants are the problem. Implants have been a problem with ships going way too fast for a long time now.

I think it's good as most of them are going silly speeds. It's not difficult to warp to an enemy wreck to get into there fleet to bubble. With all the nano cloaking and whatnot going on, i think this new generation is getting death shy.
Death is natural in eve and trying to keep near immunity with stupid nano ships all the time is dull.
Well done. This thread is about interdictors. Your rant is about nano ships. A large proportion of those who have posted in this forum in the threads on this topic are pretty much agreed that the problem is not the base speed of the interdictors, but the speeds a pilot can achieve with rigs and implants.
In Rev3, I largely expect the choice interdictor will be the Eris, with one bubble launcher and no other fittings whatsoever. Anything more than that won't help survivability, so you might as well go cheap and be done with it.
What an strange reply. Is that a half hearted flame or a troll, i can't decide. Every ship has it's role and the flying coffin is designed to drop bubbles and die alot. Not run around with near immunity at 6-12kms ( depending on fit) . And i think it speaks volumes that nearly every dictor pilot is flying a silly speed sabre. The base speed is high and with everything else it gets utterly ridiculous.
I'm not saying i think the nano fad isn't stupid because it is, implants, rigs, gang bonuses and the high base speed made for near invincible silly speeds only catchable by....... ships with near invincible silly speed.
They will start to explode again and it will be glorious 
The problem is that 12k/s 'dictors will still be untouchable because they'll still be flown by people who are fitting polys and implants. This change just screws dictors doing 3-5k/s and leaves everything else more or less the same.
The thing with the bubble aggroing is just bizzare. It's a sound tactical tool to force large gangs to keep moving, to split gangs up, buy time. I've played cat and mouse 'dictor/gang games against DICE in TRI gangs and it makes it interesting. Make the bubbles aggro and all you end up with is dead dictors and two gangs just trying to out align each other. I really don't understand where this change is coming from. Nobody said this was 'broken until CCP decide to change it, its just making PVP more bland.
