Please, please, please, let this be true!!!!!

Even if it's very limited, say 100km bubble.

PLEASE!

Can't you just pop all the non-statics and sit an alt in a cloaky ship by the static wormhole with your sound turned up. Be almost impossible to get jumped with the noise the bloody things make.

If these are a thing I'm guessing they will be like the anit cyno structures that are fire and forget for 1hour and cost enough to make them impractical for ratting

Agreed , Disrutpor is not good idea at all . Wormhole pilots hardly knows whos in the wormhole , with this they will be totally blind .
Unlike null sec pilots they will always check local

This Disruptor thingy will mess the wormholes gankers they wont be able to gank without alerting people in wormhole .as they have to us combat probes or
They have to warp from location to another to find prey , this could be slow work , and it will make covert ships the best ships for that .

So your saying that every WH corp should now need to have a person sitting there combat probing constantly to look for threats? Its bad enough a couple cloakies could just get in and stay off dscan entirely. There's no reason for a "gankee" to see probes before the attack comes because all the sites can be found on onboard scanner now. Now they're just pushing the ball even farther into the ganker's court.

"Yeah all you need is a cloaky alt sitting on every hole with their volume turned way up"
"All you need to do is have an alt constantly cycling combat probes checking to see if theres any new sigs"


Deployable structure needs to be set up at least 50km off of any holes or POSes. You can get your fleet in there, but you have to get seen on your way in on Dscan. Onn the ball corps would still be able to pick them up before its too late. And forget making another alt manpower intensive counter to something. Hell some WH corps only have like 10-15 guys in them. They ain't got the people to do this crap.

I approve d-scan disruptor, and to balance it you can still see the disruptor itself on scan. For those not willing to use probes.
But I personally don't want it to be, forcing the use of combat probes.

If I understand you correctly, you guys assume that those structures will render everything within certain radius invisible on d-scan.
But that may or may not be CCP's plan for them.

I live in a wormhole, and I don't see a problem. Only fools rely solely on dscan in w-space anyway, what with all the cloaky gank squads running around.

I'm thinking you have that backwards.

You can pop the static too. They aren't activated until someone initiates warp to it. If you roll the static hole, a new one spawns, but it doesn't connect anywhere. It's just a proto-wormhole, and the system is effectively closed until either someone warps to that new static (after scanning it down) or someone else rolls into you. That's how carebearing in WH is kept safe.

This would make it even safer, because it means that as soon as you land in a site, you drop a disruptor, and anyone that rolls into you wouldn't have a clue if there were even any occupants. They'd have to warp to every anom and scan down and warp to every data, relic, and gas site to know for sure, or drop combat probes and lose any chance of a gank. It would basically destroy WH ganking of any sort short of gate-camping.

And I say that as someone who funds both my accounts via WH carebearing.

Edit: The only way I could see it working is if it prevents dscan both ways. If you're in the disruptor bubble, you can't be dscanned, but you also can't dscan anything outside the bubble.

Would still be fantastic for setting up essentially invisible safes to stage a fleet at, but wouldn't give a one-way intel advantage. Could also still be used tactically for ganks. Example, set up a mobile depot at a deep safe somewhere, with a disruptor active. Have a cloaky probing ship, plus a cloaky combat ship (or not, could just be a fast warp combat ship, like a dic), with the extra hull just floating in space next to the depot and disruptor. You can cloak before you leave the disruptor field, scout out any activity in the system, and if you find a good target, BM something close, warp back to your safe, hop in your combat ship, and warp out (cloaked or fast) to tackle said target.

You just couldn't use it to get an effectively guaranteed warning beacon if you get rolled into while ratting, unless you kept someone outside watching dscan.
