Yo!

I'm currently skilling Dictors & Sphere Launchers to die horribly in a solo Sabre.

Just wanted to confirm a few facts, since I understand there have been some changes and some old guides may be outdated:


1. A Dictor can only fit a single launcher

2. The launcher can carry 3 spheres, launch them every 5 seconds, then 60 seconds to reload

3. There aren't any skills (or hull bonuses) that affect N. of Launchers, Launcher capacity, cycle time and reload time, nor the sphere's radius (20km)


Correct?


Thanks!

Correct otherwise, except there are now Surgical Warp Disrupt Probes with half the radius of the normal one.

Ah thanks! I see they're also supposed to last 3 minutes instead of 2.

Anybody using them? In which cases?

Just a wild guess, but seems useful for tackling capitals, where you are less worried about them slow-boating out and more interested in holding them for backup.

Also if you're setting up a temporary "drag" bubble to catch people warping to a gate or something. That way you don't have to re-deploy it as often.

Aye mate, that awesome article is exactly what inspired me to give it a shot, even if I usually PVP in lowsec.

I was wondering about those what is the point of them?
