You sir are text master

Please tell me where i said i had no support? I said none of the ships on field can even lock the interdictors. due to a combination of no aggro and cloak/mwd trick.

Go cry about getting hotdropped somewhere else.

Also i would like to point out that Capital ships are used as the example as they are ships that are slow and therefore cant burn out of a bubble easily.

If im in a Vagabond ill just leave, it still doesnt mean there isnt a problem that the dictor still is not taking aggro.

Please check my killboard and corp killboard, these are ingame events over the last week. I used the capital examples from the last week as this is where dictors are most broken in these situations. I gave ingame events as examples and you say its theory. Yet i even say in the op yesterday and last week, why would i say that of its theory lol.

Launching a bomb counters the bubble, the bomb also has a longer cycle time. However this still doesnt counter the dictor itself that can just come back and place another. The dictor still has no aggro, which is the problem...Currently im going to have to field an entire ship to counter a single mod rather than a ship..

The argument would be legit either way, as long as interdictors were able to act as Tinker describes (they are)

The fact that players can mitigate negative consequences of a broken mechanic does not address the issue of a ship being able to negatively/positively affect others in a combat situation and then immediately escape, something the new Crimewatch mechanics were designed to prevent and something that EVE should not include.

A weapons timer from players trying to warp out from a bubble means that the interdictor can still negatively affect players with the bubble and then leave, as long as there's a period before someone attempts a warp. Also, this extends the amount of time a fleet has to wait up for an interdictor pilot to lose the weapons timer, since someone may attempt to warp at the end of the bubble's life, meaning the dictor has to wait for the bubble to vanish and then sixty seconds more. Giving a weapons timer when the bubble is launched means the dictor does suffer being at risk for a time if they choose to attempt to affect other players in combat, but that they also have a good chance of being able to keep up with a fleet.

I think you are missing the point of someone needing to try to warp in the bubble or someone being pulled out of warp to start the weapons timer. Because if I was to drop a bubble on a station and no one but I was in system should that give weapons timer? Or if I was 100km off a gate and only one in system. That is where there needs to be something to cause the weapons timer.

as you were stating that about shooting at frig and missing. As you can't just point your ship in a random direction and fire turret weapons....

Still getting griefed by deaggroed dictors lol :(

We have to base our capitals out of lowsec instead of 0.0 non sov space because of this :(

As this is a discussion about a perceived problem in-game, this thread has been moved to Assembly Hall.
Please continue the discussion in a civil manner.

Because CCP never put mechanics in place that are intended to help one thing and serve to be abused in five other ways.

They should use a unique rule for aggression applied to everything: If it affects another ship, it is aggression, it doesnt matter how that impacts on the ship. If you want to have your interdictors in place, be mindful of where and when you deploy. If you deployed something potentially affecting yourself negativelly, that should be taken into consideration.

That is the kind of wishful thinking that dominates parts of development and things are done to be "nice" for one reason and become nasty loopholes for five other reasons.

But I also know that it is nothing that cant be avoided by simply planning ahead. As much as it is a broken mechanics, it is also not impossible to counter, just require what no one out of industrial and covert game like to do: Plan and scout when you move, specially heavy slow ships.

Bubbles and non-cloaked "bubblers" show in DSCan, so you can have an idea if there is one in place, and more or less, where it is. As I recall, that may be the case for low and null sec, therefore, the places where by default you should be careful and use the instruments the ship give you. Maybe WH life made me paranoid and I cant live without Dscan and Covert/Black Ops scouts, but it is not a bad thing at all, specially when you are travelling around with a billion ISK ship.

You want to see how people is careless around ? Drop a bubble, say, in the low sec between the hisec island in placid. You see people in industrials and freighters blobing up on a bubble just because it is placed on their route. Most of the time you see the SAME person there over and over again.

Warping in auto pilot or just gate bridging in low sec is like AFK mining, you just shouldnt do, or live with the consequences whatever they may be. In hisec, which that sort of thing matters, you cant use those.
