It would either be called a civilian Mobile warp disruption bubble or a faulty mobile warp disruption bubble.

So what does it do? It behaves exactly like a normal warp disruption bubble, but it only has a 50% chance of working. So If you warping in away that it could pull you off grid it only has a 50 % chance of actually pulling you out of warp early. Or, if you are already in it, you get a 50 % chance of being able to warp out and not being able to try again for another 5 seconds or until your out of the bubble.

So why would you want to use it as oppose to a regular one? Well if you are fleet commander, it could help separate enemy fleets.

I can think of a lot of uses for this, all of them fun and used to generate tears.

I'd like to see this module become a thing.

Well I am glad some one likes the idea. Not sure what skill requirements it should have.

Personally I'd like a bubbler, like a T2 destroyer, that is t1 for about half of the size bubble. It's so weird that T3D have less training time than the T2 destroyer interdictors. I just can't justify training for it while I could be training for other stuff, like medium T2 weapons.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

Yea, but T3Ds are admittedly too much. Everyone knows it, too much, too much, too much.

I don't mean adding bubble capabilities to T3D, that'd be horrible. I just mean a T1 bubbler for those who don't want to shell out the SP for a larger bubble.

Actually I'd like to see all bubbles work like this.

Something our newbros can train into pretty quickly, but won't be available on trial accounts.

I suppose that makes sense reaver. As far as some of the other ideas. I like to leave the other warp bubbles as they are. This is just suppose to be another tool in the belt of the pvper not a removal or nerfing of current tools

I like it, but not keen on the idea of 50% of letting them warp form the bubble, maybe like letting them warp 25% times.

but I like the idea of 50% drag bubbles.

The exact numbers could be toyed with I am sure. However I would point out that this is not a proposal about changing existing bubbles simply adding a new one to the mix. So if one wanted to have a bubble that better prevents warp offs they could have them.

i dont get how this splits enemy fleets more effectively than a normal bubble?

you dont have to make a 2end bubble to split enemy warpins. Its just random what lands inside and what outside of the bubble.
Interesting idea imo

Somehow I think that gameplay-wise it's closer to advanced bubble rather than to newbro-friendly one.

Also I think you should consider an option to make them not prevent warping off. Can use dictor with regular bubbles on standby for additional shenanigans.

So your fleet is separated by a whole what? 10km?

Depends on how you use it. If it is 130 off a gate between two gates and you know an enemy fleet is going to go through it. Roughly half the fleet will land on the gate and half will land in the bubble. They could end up being 100km + from their friends.

i want option in small/medium/large and eventual civilian mobile warp disruptor


rightclick
- permit trepass to fleet members
-permit trepass to corporation members
- permit trepass to alliance members

these three otpions would be best as your fleet would not be affected by your bubble or someones that is in ur corp.

Not sure that is what eve needs part of the challenge is placing the bubbles correctly. Not sure if it postivley effective eve by making corp/alliance/fleet member immune to bubbles.
