Question to those of you who are actually flying hics.
Is the tech 2 warp disruption field generator worth time spent training for it?

If you want to hellcamp a station, definitely.

You also need it anchor T2 large warp bubbles unless I remember it wrong.

My alt HIC pilot trained it.

It isn't essential (the tech 2 module was only recently introduced) but if you are a HIC specialist then of course it makes sense to train, just like Heavy Interdictors 5.

If you are not a HIC specialist, then you may have other training priorities.

Tech 1 WDFG: 20 km max (40 km diameter bubble)
Tech 2 WDFG: 24 km max (48 km diameter bubble)

Tech 1 Focused WDFG: 19.2 km max
Tech 2 Focused WDFG: 23 km max

Hmm? I get 30 km for T1 and 36 km for T2...

An 8km difference, that's only 20% more. Doesn't sound like a lot to you?

How about looking at it this way:

Tech 1 WDFG: 33510 km3
Tech 2 WDFG: 57906 km3

Close to three quarters more actually, not too shabby.

I don't think Tau was taking into consideration of the bonus the HIC gives for range. The numbers he shows is for just the module.

It's better to train Graviton Physics V first or even instead of HIC V and grav V is only worth it if you spend a lot of time in a HIC. 5x training multi for that skill seems crazy high for what you get. That's equivalent to getting either cruiser V or a large weapon to V.

I don't rule out the possibility that I messed that completely up.

I'll check again when I get home.

Sorry for the confusion.

As someone who enjoys flying HICs i can tell you that T2 bubbles are awesome!

When you just have T1 bubbles there will always be another guy with T2 bubbles, which will be preferred by the FC to take the HIC out.

The extra range is very nice, it gives the gang a few seconds more time to lock/tackle the target.

It is also necessary if you try to prevent a capship from jumping out of a small POS while bashing it. The T2 bubble covers more than half its radius then.

Also: Get Graviton Physics V before HIC V.
