Sorry but I think this is silly. Use fast tackle or go to null with bubbles. Fast tackle train new people and gives them something to do.

Outgoing:

I don't see much of a problem with that module. You just pick a random warp out to a celestial and go from there to the next gate/station instead of directly to the next gate/station. You have to do that already in any case to prevent smartbombers or stop/drag bubbles if you do not have a gate spot. This would even help you there as you do not land in a predictable spot and can avoid people waiting for you on the Poco or the likes.

I think that's what he is suggesting. When you start warping inside this bubble, your intended warp exit location and the actual warp exit location won't be the same. I'm not sure about the scale of the divergence, I was under the impression that the warp exit location would be on the same grid but many kilometers off the intended warp exit.

Your on the right line there and I guess too many coffee´s have stripped away my ability to go into details

The way I was thinking (just as I jumped into system, bubbles on gate) was, what if I was nullified and aligned out-gate, hit warp.. and Huge bugger.. I'm nowhere near the out-gate.. in fact on this occasion - I´m totally in the opposite direction.

You get similar effects when you jump to cyno and the cyno gets blown up as you jump.

...and then what? The victim just warps a second time without issue and all that has happened is that the victim is delayed a minute or so and his opponents have no clue where he went, making it impossible to chase to the next gate.

at most it could make you fall short in warp or warp past your target since you warp in a straight line and then stop. I know very little about the game code but i do know that the code for warping is pretty old and that all the old code is something similar to voodoo and changing it is a bad idea.

if your nav computer is jamed or upset you can't warp that is how points and scrams work now

I mean pve wise it'd be usefull in wormhole sites or something, sit there with your fancy capitals and go "TROLOLOLOL" and then hotdrop anyone who wants to mess with you

Interestingly enough, I see this primarily as a defensive module. You're sitting in a belt or a mission doing your thing, hostile shows up on D-scan, you warp off and conveniently land at a non-warpable location, a safe spot, with no effort expended beyond deploying this new gizmo. Every time you did this, you'd land at a different spot, so even if the hostile probed you down once, they wouldn't have your location the next time you used it.

That's pretty powerful.

Some thoughts:

1. There would have to be some constraints on how far off of a celestial the effect would divert you. Otherwise, folks could use them (along with a lot of patience) to make safe spots beyond the outermost planet of a solar system that aren't D-scannable from any celestials ("deep safes"). CCP has taken efforts to crack down on this ability in the past. (Not a reason to oppose it, just a limitation.)

2. Given the limits on existing "Mobile XXX" modules, I doubt that CCP would allow this to be anchored so close to a gate, station or POS. This means that either the area of effect would have to be obscene in order to impact a gate or a station. Since CCP doesn't tend to like obscenely large AoE things, they'd have to either remain away from stations/gates, or be limited to nullsec like bubbles/bombs. (Again, not an opposition, just a limitation.)


Interesting idea. +1

It would not have any effect on tacticals around objects outside the field of effects, same if it was on gate and you jumped through you would not be effected.

Perhaps, it would be like... your in fleet, the fleet jumps through the gate, you see bubble, you de-cloak -> fleet is starbursted out of the bubble. Just some totally random effects that will make you think.. o´S#%&.

Or you could think of it like: Stepping on ice whilst wearing cowboy-boots .
