I don't mind so much losing a ship or two to a bubble camp,

HOWEVER

When null-sec becomes impossible to travel across due to bubbles on every other system with no alternate routes I get testy. The only way to counter these is to fly an interceptor or covert ops ship; but then there really is no point to either of these unless you are trying to move items around. Sometimes I want to bring a ship in for ratting / pvp but I can't.

Suggestion:

-Make the bubbles last less time when placed
-Make them cost more

Same ability to bubble-camp; less ability to shut down entire sectors of space for extended periods of time.

Game mechanics are not the problem. Other players will always figure out a way to ruin your day. That's part of EvE.

It's not up to the mechanics to protect you, especially in nullsec.

There is no other way to ruin my day other than these mobile warp disruptors. Every other kind of camp I can get through; besides maybe a lucky interdictor that caught me right as I go through a gate.

Geez, get a T3 Strat cruiser. Fit interdictioner nullifier + covert subsytem. Put ammo, mods, and Mobile Depot in cargo. Travel to system, make a deep safe, deploy depot, refit.

IT. IS. THAT. SIMPLE.


And if you can't fly a strategic cruiser.....TRAIN IT.

Sounds like you are getting your PVP. P
Why would you want to rat in null-sec? Shocked

Cool

If you aren't already dipping your wick into nullsec via the wormhole country roads, you deserve the gate camps.

Please don't complain about legitimate, balanced game mechanics.

If you don't like what someone else is doing in EvE, you can do something about it. You can break their camp. You can get buddies to break their camp. You can fail in the attempt. This opportunity is what makes EvE the game that it is and it's why I like playing it.

If you don't like the freedom you have here, you'll be happier playing something else. Please don't ruin our game for the rest of us.

Or you can just grief them and call it "creating content"

No, you shouldn't be able to safely solo a Badger through Syndicate.

Wow it's somewhat amazing that anyone would defend a mobile warp disruptor as a balanced gameplay mechanic. It is inherently unbalanced as some types of ships are completely immune to its effect. All it does is make gate camping easier.

Hmm, cost really is a balancing factor...

Go T3/SB/Recon or bring some friends.

Find a less dangerous area of nullsec to explore.
