They are way too cheap for one thing. They need to be made so people don't just leave them up because they are so inexpensive that they aren't worth taking down. People shouldn't be able to completely cover gates with them without risking something of significant value. Pirates have it so easy in this game, it is ridiculous.

The best thing would be for the game to only allow only one Mobile Warp Disruptor within 150km of the gate.

not all of them are that expensive. you can just use a bunch of cheap little ones for the same effect. come on now.

I'm starting to wonder if you didn't add the Mobile to the title for more attention...

I'm sensing that you got killed multiple times with bubbles because you're too stupid to avoid them.

1: Use dotlan
2: Scout
3: Interceptor
4: Warp disruption nullifier subsystem
5: HTFU! (My personal favorite) Twisted

They're warp bubbles. They are meant to counter your warp drive.
If you land in the middle of a bubble pray to God that you have an MWD fitted.

I think they are a bad game mechanic, but for a completely different reason. I just personally feel they take away from the need of interdictors. I believe game mechanics in EvE should encourage more people in ships in space, not less.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

They should just get rid of bubbles honestly. And gatecamps. And boosting ships. And logi. And local. And the overview. Only command ships get the overview.


To the twitch stream guys so you can see the Command ship overview.

No, this is a t2 production thread now.

Do you have to invent them?

So the OP thinks Mobile Warp Disruptors are too overpowered? This is pure madness, considering the amount of ships either capable of burning through a bubble and warp out, or able to ignore them outright (Interceptors, nullified T3s).

Hell, I like that you can make your own traps somewhere, maybe trying to drag someone out of warp in the middle of nowhere.

And I can't complain about their strength, since they're pretty easy to avoid as long as there aren't a shitton just piled up around a gate. And it that happens, well you still have options, like not going through a gate when the in-game map tells you hundreds of people just died over there. Lol

I for one, believe that we need more bubbles...and they need to bring mines back, or at least make mines that have to be set within a warp disruption field.

Throw the guerrilla warfare guys a bone, and let them go all Viet Cong in space.

I dare anyone to try to fly a t1 frig trough a bubbled gate like the one in P3EN-E.


I did it yesterday in a stock noob ship from Obe.

Guess what? I scouted ahead. Being blue to locals might also help.

Yes, they can't be avoided at all. Except for:

1. D-scanning gates in a system before you jump to them.
2. Checking the map for destroyed ships in the last hour.
3. Scouting ahead with a friend/alt.
4. Using a ship which renders bubble scramming irrelevant (T3 cruisers IIRC, possibly Blockade Runners?)
5. Using a ship which makes life hard for the gankers to lock you (cloakies, though I haven't tried this).
6. Using a ship with a high natural velocity.
7. Using wormholes, a system that almost ENTIRELY nullifies gate-camps and lets you move around with impunity.

I haven't "lived" in null-sec, so I don't really know what role they serve in large fleet engagements. But the most I'd concede is they're a bit cheesy, in terms of the detrimental effect they have on encouraging people to stay mining their whole life in 1.0 sec space.

Mind you, the more people sitting in 1.0 mining mindlessly, the less actually stealing my profits in low sec and 0.0, so that's good Lol

Hitting a warp bubble and getting ganked by 15 people isn't fun, that doesn't mean it needs nerfing. It means you need to actually think about what you're doing before you do it.


Or easier than that, go to one of your intel channels and ask if anyone is camping the gate you are worried about.

What's the point in a multiplayer game if you don't use other players for help?
