Problem: Going around 0.0 and having to deal with 100's of bubbles which don't expire are there for days get abandoned and are just time consuming and space junk.

Proposal: Limit the amount of bubbles you can have on grid to a maximum of five, as well as introducing a expiry timer on these bubbles so after a specific amount of time they expire and then explode therefore solving all problems.

I believe this is beneficial to both pvpers and industrials.

I believe bubbles are an excellent deterrent against space invaders. However! I do agree we need some sort of limits on the amount of bubbles.

Why not implement some sort of structure to be space constructed and add on system cpu/powergrid requirements onto bubbles so this could possibly limit the amount per system, eh? eh?

Anchored space-junk (cans, bubbles...) are cleaned up via a script at startup if it hasn't been touched within X amount of days (I can't remember the time amount).

You can always petition bubble spam if its congesting a system, as causing lag with anchorables is a petitionable offense.

If the bubbles offend you so much, maybe you could try shooting them?

First off, the removal time limit of bubbles is very, very long. I've come back to a region I left 6 months before, and found my bubble farms (safe spots where I leave bubbles to quickly grab and replace the ones that get blown up) completely intact and untouched.

Next, limits on the number of bubbles in system would be awkward when people like myself put up a bubble farm in the middle of space, which would then result in "no bubbles' being allowed on gates because too many were deployed else where.

A limit to bubbles on grid would be the best way to limit the "100's of bubles" on grid type of situation. However, this is completely unnecessary.

Even if the enemy puts 200 bubbles warping a gate grid so thoroughly you would have to travel 200 km's to get out of the bubbles, there are several options already available to you:
  • Interdiction nullified t3's can simply warp in and out as if they aren't there.
  • Blow up the 1-3 bubbles that inhibit you from immediately warping. A talos can make quick work of even a large t2 bubble, which costs 24m isk and a bunch of their time to setup. If you do it right, they may not even notice the hole in the grid that allows you to immediately warp out when gate spawning.

    • Bubbles can be annoying, but they are an amazing tactical tool that I really don't want to see nerfed!!!

    He's also right. Shoot them.
