Thus one of the benefits of sov. It doesn't take much to burn out of an interdictor bubble, especially with some of the speeds you get from undocking. They also have these new devices for battleships and battlecruisers called Micro Jump Drives which aren't stopped by bubbles and can magically transport you 100km in the direction you're facing.

Basically, just because you cannot figure a way around the tactic does not make it broken. If one ship is capable of locking you into a station, you're no better than the carebears who whine to eliminate cloaky camping, and should seriously re-evaluate your abikity to live in NPC null.

I love how in every single thread there are at least five people deeply concerned that any changes to broken game mechanics will turn EVE into a themepark and they will no longer be able to namedrop the game they barely play to their ****** online friends and receive gasps and whispers of "he's so hardcore, he plays that super hard game"

That's funny.

I love how in every single thread there is always at least five people so unable to work with and around the mechanics that they have to shiptoast the same regurgitated garbage over how the game is broken and needs changed to accomodate their particular game style.

Learn to cope, find something else to do in the game, or go play a different game.

It used to be that when a person tried to warp while in an interdiction sphere then the dictor received the aggression.

The supposed "problem" was that dictors couldn't bubble gates and then jump through them. For some reason, this of all plights caught CCPs ear and they went with a heavy handed "fix" in the form of dictor probes not causing aggression at all.

So now a dictor can undock from a station, bubble the undock and then go back in. With no chance of the fleet on the station being able to destroy it as the dictor is invulnerable during the undocking.


Yes you can use bombers to clear the bubbles but each bomber you have in space can drop about one bomb every 2 minutes.

Meanwhile a single dictor can drop one bubble every 5 seconds. And since it can reload inside the station then the only limit he has to work with is the time it takes to dock and undock again.

And that just assumes a single dictor.


As for the bubble vanishing when the dictor docks back up. I'm not even sure that CCP could implement that without needing more coding so I would suggest the relatively easy fix of just restoring aggression when someone tries to warp inside the bubble.

To those who start bringing offensive remarks how people should switch games.

This is pretty much like you telling them it should be acceptable for you to drop Sentry Drones on one side of the gate, and sit on the other side waiting to have a target to shoot. It's a piece of gameplay that exploits a weakness in the game without risk to the interdictor pilot.

I agree with some others that upon docking, non-anchored bubbles should just vanish.

hobojamming is working as intended

i hear the new wow expansion has pandas, maybe you should gb2wow if you cant handle npc null

So simple, yet genius.

OP try to understand the tactic. When small pvp roaming gangs shotgun systems the first place out dictor goes is to the station. He then drops a bubble on the undock which catches any idiot ratter who warps back to the station because he saw hostiles in local thus being caught in our bubble. Just because its a pain in the ass and you proablly were caught and died in one doesn't mean the mechanic is broken. Please understand Null Sec is not safe.

Are you serious? This is not the tactic being talked about..... at all.
