Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So I'm sitting here looking at different types gear. Noting the differences in each, Ships, Ammo, Mods, Ect....

We all know that the differences between T1 & T2 can be from marginal to quite large. For example T1 Cruisers vs T2

A T1 cruiser has its base traits, with T2 you get additional traits such as extended web or disruptor/scram range, better damage and tracking, as well as a nice bump in resists. Same goes for T2 mods and ammo they all have some sort of secondary effect weather good or bad..

Now as I look at the Mobile Warp Disruption Fields i.e bubbles there really isnt much of a difference in the T1 and T2 variants... Sure the T2 version of the bubbles cover a larger radius and can be deployed faster then the T1 version. but those are the only differences. The T2 bubbles take up just as much room in your cargo hold as a T1 and cost twice as much.. So to me the time and area differences are not that much of a " Bonus " concidering the time you spend training to be able to deploy them.

T2 Bubble also have no true secondary effect as almost all the rest of the T2 gear does

So here are the changes in which I personally would like to see made to these wonderful and overlooked pieces of deployable goodness..

We all know that these bubbles warp disrupt your ship. What if the T2 version of this also webbed the ship? Now i'm not talking about an 85% or 90% web effect but like a 50-65% reduction in speed or disallows the use of a MWD

T2 Warp disruption bubbles as they currently are in game
Using a large for purpose of example
Volume: 585 m3
Anchoring delay: 240.00 s
Warp Disruption range: 40.00 km

Changes I propose
Large T2 Bubble

Volume: 350 m3
Anchoring delay: 300s
Warp Disruption range: 40km
Speed Reduction 55%

As you can see I've lowered the volume size of this bubble to make it easier for a Cruiser/BC hull to carry them but increased the anchoring delay slightly

Now as for Manufacturing the new bubbles not much would change with the exception of now you would need to add a Stasis webifier into the mix only slightly raising the cost for production.

Also you may have noticed I changed the phrase Warp Scramble Range to Warp Disruption Range the reason for this is quite simple. In game these lovely bubble are called Warp Disruption Fields and as such they disrupt the warp drive of the ship(s) with-in its radius. Also as we all know these Bubbles do NOT warp scramble. A warp scrambler not only scrambles the warp drive of a ship but also disallows the use of an MWD, which these bubbles do not do..

Which brings me to my next point. What about a new variant called the Mobile Warp Scramble Field? A warp scrambler fitted to a ship has the capability to not only stop a ship from warping but also disabling the use of the MWD prop mod as well as having extra points of warp scrambling. But this comes at a cost of reduction in range. Thus the new Mobile Warp Scramble Field would have a smaller radius of area effect then the Disruption Field.

T1 Large Warp Scramble Field

Volume: 585 m3
Anchoring delay: 480s
Warp Scramble Range: 13.25km
Disables Micro Warp/Jump Drives: True
All other attributes same as the Mobile Warp Disruption Field
Skill Requirement: Same as the Mobile Warp Disruption Field

T2 Large Warp Scramble Field

Volume: 300 m3
Anchoring Delay: 300s
Warp Scramble Range: 20.50km
Disables Micro Warp/Jump Drives: True
All other attributes same as the Mobile Warp Disruption Field
Skill Requirement: Same as the Mobile Warp Disruption Field

Of course the numbers for a small and medium version of these would have to be worked out as I only used the large as an example of what could be done..

I welcome any feed back the Eve community might have on this subject.
I can feel the flaming and trolling coming on, but if you could please keep to the subject on hand I know everyone would be thankful...

Make them gravity bombs. Same size but rather than warp disruption they web every ship in the field. That which can warp does so a bit faster, most evrrything else is screwed.

Please do tell why you think this.... I know trolling, Flaming and disagreeing with someone is the norm for topics like this. But if you are going to disagree or think its a bad idea then PLEASE for the love of all things internet space ship be able to give at least some what of a reason for why you think its a bad idea or why you disagree.

Unless you just lack the thought process to make a complete sentence let alone form a proper opinion on something

Just so you're aware, the instant EVE gets bubbles that knock out MWD and MJD is the same instant that regular bubbles become obsolete.

Price is not a balancing method.

Cover a gate in these things and there's no way in at all. Guess what they're going to be used for?

Iˇve deployed more than 1000 bubbles, I am master sabre pilot, but....

but, this is stupidest idea ever.

:-)

Ok, I will tell you why Jodi

Difference between T1 and T2 bubbles is good, deploying T2 small or medium bubble doesnt make sence, but large T2 bubbles are good. You can cover with them whole gates or POS. So they are worth it to train.

Your idea is stupid, because you are probably very bad camper and you cant catch anything in bubbles, and you are just whining.
Bubbles are fine, I love them, but people should have opportunity to escape and you should realize the anchoring of your epic-web-scrambler-T2-bubble on gate would be a LITLE BIT noobish :-D Did you even think about how to escape from your new bubble? No, you didnt.

Keep your feet on the ground, when your head's in the clouds and learn how to catch people in bubbles with current mechanic.

The larger radii of the T2 bubbles is nothing to be sneered at. A T1 large bubble covers 78,000 cubic km of space, whereas a T2 large bubble covers roughly 268,083 cubic km of space, more than 3.4 times as much coverage for less than 3 times more money (at current prices).

It would be about the most ridiculosly OP thing ever, as would bubbles that shut down MWD and MJD. Bubbles alreday make catching ships essentially EZ mode outside of a few specialized types.

Its neither trolling nor flaming since I sincerely meant what I said.

They would be OP as ****. I agree its a cool idea and gives t2 bubbles unique functionality, but that pales in comparison to how broken these would be.

Maybe if it was a timed mobile structure with a somewhat smaller radius and limitations on where it can be deployed
