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.

Yes, less tackling will lead to more people dying. This makes sense.
Except not really. In large group engagements, slice and dice it any way you like - aggressive support dies most of anyone out there. Giving them aggression and making them move at pedestrian speeds only means less valuable/interesting things die, especially those already good at shaking support like HACs/CS - but also snoozefest MS/Titans.
We'll be burning through more dictors sure, but in the long run that doesn't compare to all the people that don't die because of how easy deaggressing becomes and how hard it is to get tackled by a 3km/s dictor. Keep in mind, you can literally warp out after MWDing out of a dictorbubble and jump at the destination gate while the pursuing Sabre can't follow you with the way things are right now on SiSi. Why bother engaging light roams at all anymore? They get away by default pretty much :/
If you have a mixed gang that shouldn't be a problem. Interceptors excel for high speed tackling, dictors can do the bubble thing and get there groove out of there and heavy hitters lay the smack down.

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

Hell, i think they should go a step further and have dictors blow up once dropping a bubble but increase the bubble range massively. Make them literally suicide ships and increase the time the bubble stays in the air.
Edit - I fly dictors but not ******** nano setups and manage to survive, go figure

Cost is no justification for near immunity, otherwise the titan would be
unstoppable.
They are specialised ships, to drop bubbles and die.
