A small detail that usually will only come into effect with interdictor bubbles is that a bubble on the destination grid must be up and active before the target hit warp, this includes the align time and not just before they actually entered warp.

But if you take the bubble down while they are in warp... will they still get sucked in?

I think it should. From what I understand, where you get stopped isn't calculated when you arrive at the bubble, but from the moment warp is initiated.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...

Expensive as hell, but you have a 100% chance of surviving, minus a large percentage of player competency.

Gate to gate it's invulnerable.


Not invulnerable. You can still be ganked by the combination of a few hundred drones dumped on gate and a SeBo frig.

Yes. Getting sucked in depends on the bubble state when your victim INITIATES warp. Therefore a heavy interdictor with a bubble on a gate that is up when someone starts to warp to that gate will get pulled to the edge of the bubble even if the bubble is turned off and goes down while they are still in warp. Likewise putting a bubble up after someone has hit the warp key will not pull someone into it.
