How to fit T2 transport against single interdictor?

I lost Mastodon transport today in null sec. I learned something new today. Single interdictor ship created bubble around me and used single warp scrambler on me. I tried to use microwarpdrive to get out but it didn't work. I had fitted lots of warp core stabilizers in my Mastodon and warp strength was +6. I later learned that +warp core strength and -warp core strength doesn't work with micro warp drives and micro jump drives so it is enough that interdictor ship activates bubble and single warp scrambler and I cannot escape with my transport. Single ship can prevent me from escaping forever.

EVE is hard and that is what it should be. I would still like to know if there is any kind of fit that can be used against single interdictor ship? I would except to die to decent gate camps with my transport and not just lone interdictor that can prevent me from escaping forever. This interdictor later got friends and they broke tank from my ship.

Ideas anyone? Warp core stabilizers are basically useless against interdictor ships.

Microwarpdrive + Cloak, you then slowboat outside the bubble.

Any bubble will block you, anchored or ship made whatever the number of WCS you have fitted.

I would personally use BR instead of DST for Nullsec hauling

ECM can eventually save you from a lone Sabre, I escaped one with that once. But yes for nullsec it's either a blocade runner or a jump freighter for hauling stuff. If you jump in a already activated bubble or see interdictor ready to launch them, move in a random direction and 0.00001 second later activate your MWD and then your cloak. Once out of the bubble jump as normal.
Another thing, if you jump in a gatecamp, don't start aligning on your destination, go in a direction where there is nothing (if possible in the opposite direction of any frigate present).

T1 hauler are for safe space only.

In the name of Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen : “Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.”

It had nothing to do with the scram and everything to do with the bubble. If you were to get out of the bubble you could have warped off.
The bubble itself is essentially -infinity warp strength.

Solution:
Align then hit your cloak(improved cloaking device) and your mwd. When you get outside the bubble you decloak and then warp.

You can fit mjd and an ecm-burst. Bursts are quite good jamming T1 frigs and to an extent dictors, you might need to wait a minute or two until you got him jammed. Once he is and stops scrambling you, activate MJD and warp off.

ecm burst won't stop him from re-targeting and scramming. Can a lone dictor kill a mobile mjd in time?

Not MWD and cloak. MJD and cloak. Basicallty uncatchable. Don't fit more than 2 Stabs, that takes 5 points or 3 scrams to stop you. That's more than enough for small gate camps. I have never -ever- been caught with the MJD-Cloak trick, but I'm unsure about it getting you out of a 20 man Gooncamp

Make tactical bookmarks around the gates you use for hauling, that way you can warp in at range to assess the situation before warping to the gate. Ideally, these bookmarks will be 'out of line' with any catch or drag bubbles that may, or may not, be set up.

And yeah, blockade runners are generally the preferred tool for the job.

When in doubt, get a scout.

mastadon is big and slow, but it does get a huge bonus to overloading MWDs and hardeners. Burn back to the gate seems like the best option, make sure to overload the MWD.

A scout is something I wouldn't move around without, but it is always possible the dictor is cloaked on a gate just waiting for something worth going after, which a DST is certainly worth going after. I think your other option is to make sure you fit for max ehp and overload your hardener, stay aligned, and hope they mess up their timing on the bubbles and try to warp out.
