Give interdictors, *NOTE NOT heavy interdictors*, nullification same as ceptors currently have.
Idea with a light dictor is to allow it to be able to get out of their own bubbles and to also be able to chase after targets as needed without having to burn out of bubbles just to be able to get into warp.

Why?


'contrOversial'

It's "contriverserial" because it's a bad idea with no reason for implementation, no gain to gameplay, 5 second "oh I want to be completely OP" thought.

What is a 'dictor going to have to burn out of its own bubble to chase?

Interceptors?
Is it going to bubble them when it catches up or what?

Assault Frigs?
Surely the AF is going to be heading in the 'dictor's direction anyway isn't it?

Cov Ops?
Well if you know where to go to chase them then they've cocked up so just wait for their next error...

Frigates?
If they're fast enough to outrun the 'dictor why didn't it kill them - and if it couldn't kill them... (see AFs).

The 'dictor is fast enough to chase down most of the stuff it can kill, and shouldn't generally get caught in its own bubbles (unless that mechanic has changed since I last flew one... which was a few years ago come to think of it).

Sure, but then take away their ability to black ops bridge. Can't have EVERYTHING. Also F&I is over there--->

Perfect for the next expansion then.

This was suggested and rejected as OP in the dictor rebalance thread in F&I here.

This game needs less nullification immunity not more.

I've been saying this since they announced inty nulli. Inties are op with nulli, dictors make more sense and give more creative tactics to the fight. +1

Nulli inties are not OP?

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

intys OP?

I'll remember that next time I solo a gang of gate campers in one

or do you mean OP by the fact that intys can actually fill the role they were designed for now?

Bring back down votes.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

YES!

What this game needs is another uncatchable ship!

I will agree with the OP. However, on the condition that this ship cannot join or be a member of a fleet.

What is with all the F&I material popping up in GD today?

Seriously folks, that board exists for a reason.

actualy I was thinking along the lines it could, but there'd be other changes to compensate, kidna similar to the agile/align rebalance the ceptors had just recently
