Originally by: Swirler CCP has made a fatal error in allowing the Heavy Interdictor Class ships to use the interdiction sphere generator in Low Security Systems (Low Sec).
CCP never allowed the use of the interdiction sphere launcher and probe in low security space, because they new the problems it would create. So why change the policy now and create the problems?
The broken game mechanic CCP has created has been made drastically worse. - First, CCP restricts the number of access points to no security space by limiting it to a handful of crossing points from low to no security zones. - Second CCP creates deployable Mobile Warp Disruption fields, so that these access points can be permanently blockaded, as warp core stabilizers have no effect or defense against the field. - Third, CCP creates the ship launchable warp disruption probe, so that it is easier and faster to blockade any no security gate at will. CCP recognizes the impossible gaming situation that allowing such a probe in low sec and empire would create, so they restrict it's use to No Security Systems (0.0). - Now, CCP ignores their own wisdom in restricting interdiction spheres from low sec, and creates a new ship with the power of a Heavy Assault Cruiser, and installed the 'EASY BUTTON' of an Interdiction Sphere generator that works in low sec; effectively blockading any low sec system with this one ship. Why have a launchable sphere that doesn’t work in low sec, but a ship mountable sphere generator that does? It’s a mistake.
So CCP, as the losses mount, and most of low security now becomes impassible, what are you going to do about it?
Every player that losses a ship to the new Heavy Interdictor 'EASY BUTTON' in low sec, must petition CCP for reimbursement. CCP has violated its previous game mechanic rule, causing harm and loss to many players. If your claim is denied, petition it again, for the same reason - The Heavy Interdictor class ship should not be allowed to operate it's sphere in low sec.
Should CCP not restrict the Heavy Interdictor's Sphere Generator from operating in low security, in 30 to 60 days, the losses mounting in low sec will be outrageous, low sec mission runners and trade will be out of business, and the inability of players to operate according to the lines and restrictions CCP has created for moving ships from empire, to low sec, for carrier jump to 0.0, will stay broken as they are today.
Now is a great time for all eve corporations and alliance to give their input on this game-breaking mistake. What do you think?
Interdiction Sphere != Focused Script
The sphere, a area of effect mod, is only allowed in nullsec. The Focused Script, acting like a infinite points-Warp Scrambler...the HIC has to lock you first. So apparantly nothing has changed for lowsec, except supercaps can be tackled and Warp Core Stabilizer's won't work against a HIC using the focused script.
