Heavy interdictor cruiser Big smile .A special tech II cruiser that can fit warp disruption field generators, that can prevent jump of capital ships in low/null security space.

The fields they generate also prevent Any ship (except for t3 cruisers with interdiction nulifiers) from warping out from or into any point inside the modules area of effect (16-20km around the hic depending on skills)

Hictors can generate bubbles as said here previously. Any ship in that bubble cannot warp out or jump out in case of capitals. Only interdiction nullified Tech 3s can.

Hictors can also run a script in their module that is like a single warp disruptor that can keep ships pointed regardless of warp stabs and such. This is how the hictors kept the capital ships in the asakai fight locked down. Bubbles cannot go up in low sec, but so called "infinite points" can be used.

The only exceptions of ships that CAN warp / jump out of a bubble are:

T3's with Interdiction Nullifier subsystem.
Supercariers.
Titans.

These things however can't escape the infinite point (bubble + script).

Dead wrong.

Supers and Titans cannot escape bubbles by warping/jumping. That's why Dictors work really for tackling them in Null.

Focused points have longer range, and can be used in LS, so that's why HICs were so important in the recent fight.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that a battleship fitted with a micro jump drive can escape a bubble also.

I never seen these people in my life. I don't recognize them Your Honor

Correct, but not by warping or jumping. It's equivalent to burning out of a bubble under normal propulsion, but... stranger.
