Like warp disruption
But it ejects you from your ship, destroys it and just leaves you there.

At least this is not a sneak exploit like the OP suggests.

Btw., I think we got trolled hard anyway, he just dumped it here and never checked back. Shocked (not that this wasn't obvious anyway glancing at it... still some were ignorant enough to +1 it Roll)


No troll. How do you know I have not been checking? Just because I have not replied to every comment? Your inability to base your thought process off of facts is quite evident.

We have Warp Disruptors and ward disruptor bubbles
We have Stasis Webs - so why would stasis web bubbles be any more or less ridiculous?
How the hell is it even an exploit?

The logic eludes me, but based on your comments, it may just not be there to begin with.

Doesn't exclude you from being a troll.

So ? Not every feature in the game has to be copy pasted on every module as has been discussed a thousand times. And for that matter it never should without good reason, which your suggestion is lacking.
Further more, a dic/bubble etc, does not interfere with any module or combat related attribute/module, it only prevents you from inter-grid travel (you know what I mean).. A web bubble does interfere with comabt related attributes and in favor of the launching party... extremely, is therefore extremely unbalanced and could be called an exploit in the game-play, maybe not in the game mechanics.

Well, you got me there, maybe not in the pure sense of the word, it's still exceptionally stupid.

Oh wait, we got
Target Painters.. Target painter bubble (splash painting)
Remote Repping .. remote rep bubble (hey, love that one)
Smartbombs... hmmm. anchorable AoE damage bubbles....
... you sure you want to pursue you silly reasoning ?

Pretty much sums up all your arguments.

Mother of god...


While we're at it, can we have ECM bubble please?
Oh oh, also MWD bubble, so you can Warp disrupt bubble + Web Bubble + MWD Bubble + take all the time in the world to setup your bomb run.

MJD Bubble? Now that would be something special.

On first look, I don't think web bubbles are any more OP than warp disruption bubbles. But, I'm struggling to find a way to make them balanced.

Currently, we have 3 ways of doing stationary stuff (bubbles or otherwise): Anchorable bubbles that are semi-permanent (minimum 30-days), short-term deployables (maximum 30 days), and warp disruption probes (2 minutes).

I've always wondered why we don't have more disruption probe types. Why not make webifying probes? With the recent interdictor rebalances, you can only fit one launcher per ship. So if you wanted both warp bubbles and web bubbles, you would need two interdictors, or anchored bubbles. And those are ofc limited by cargohold volume.

But, as another said, in combination with warp disruptor bubbles, being webbed is pretty much guaranteed death. Perhaps if it only had a very short range, like 5km, or was fairly weak. Also, in combination with warp bubble immunity, T3s and interceptors would be even more OP.

Actually, the more I think about it, the worse it seems. Very hard to balance.

Only if they cancel eachother if used with a warp disruptor bubble.

I could see it bringing a lot of funny situations.

The problem here is a lack of imagination. It does not have to be a more severe tangent of the current ship mod and bubble structure.

It could be something as light as 10% and only last for 30 seconds. Enough for a tactical advantage in the heat of battle, but not something that cannot be used to troll the highways.
