Hi,
I'm looking for the answer to a couple of questions regarding the heavy interdictors, or rather the warp disruption field.
(1) Does it have infinate strength? No number of stabs or natural warp core strength (blockade runners) can break free from it? Same question applies to both using the field as a bubble and as a focused beam.
(2) What is the radius of the field?
(3) Is it true that is prevents you from using jump gates? Same question applies to both using the field as a bubble and as a focused beam.
(4) A rumor has been floating around that it has a slight web effect as well?
I dont care if it has an infinate strength but if (3) is true then blockade runners just got a serious hit by the nerfbat. Even a blockade runner fitted for agility and speed will have a very hard time getting out of range from the HIC, and warp off, before tacklers have more points on you.
The speed & ewar (web range bonus for example) abilities alone makes the electronic attack frigates a viable low-sec tackler for anything but super caps.
PLEASE: CONFIRMED FACTS ONLY. Links to patch note, dev comments or FIRST HAND experience from the test server in the past week (what worked on sisi weeks ago doesn't necessarily hold true just before the patch)

1) True Infinite Strength...no amount of stabs will save you
2) 30 km once activated on the target
3)Does prevent you from using stargates (I would wait for more information to corroborate this once the hactordictors come out in a few days )
4) The web effect applied to the HIC but apparently is null if the HIC skill is trained to 5
* I could be wrong about this information , If i am i apologise in advance

No reason to believe the bubble or targetted scram works any differently than a regular dictor bubble. You can still use stargates.

2) The radius of the field starts at 16km (HIC lvl 1) and becomes 20km (HIC lvl 5).
4) The "web" affect only applies to the HIC itself, making it more "agile" but at about 1/10 the speed.

Aren't you a wee bit impolite sir? If I understood this right, you want US to read the patch notes and dev comments, and then quote them for you, so you don't have to? I'm sure you know where the patch notes are found, and if you patched already, you should have read them.
Forums are for discussion, not for the sole purpose of answering your questions.
Anyway..

As for the rest, I BELIEVE (although not entirely sure) that this is correct:
(1)
I do infact believe that it only has a 1 point strenght.
Check http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/EVE-MP/module.jpg might be old info.
(2)
16-20km I believe.
(4)
Probably just a rumour.

Not at all, I was mearly asking for claims to be able to be backed up by facts, be it a link to a patch notes. I've read the patch notes myself but, obviously, missed the line you quoted.
This is based on experience, ppl "think" they know because "my friend told me" and so on and in some weird way that constitutes as "facts" in their opinion, which in turn leads to rumors that live longer.
Already we have conflicting answers in this thread, although your is the one with the most backup.
Thank you to all whom have replied!

Patch notes
Hmm... but do they mean Capital Jump engine-jumping, or stargate-jumping here. I'd say the first, just like the normal dictor.

I used them a fair bit on test...
though didnt fully test all the points here...
Not sure if the bubble is 1 point or infinate - Though if you run the script on the "bubble" it becomes a direct point thats infinate, stopping any stabs and MS's and also ranged - 24km ish...
The bubble starts at 16km range then increases per lvl (think it's 1.5km)

what I know about HIC's:
their sphere is infinite point.
the radius has been said already
only if it agg's some target (maybe scripted will...)
only on you and only when it's in sphere mode.
