Tossing around the idea to allow interdictor probe bubbles (not heavy dictor or static bubbles) in lowsec to spice things up a bit. This would make it hard (and expensive) to camp a gate, but would aid in locking down small gangs in the area. It'd also make dictors more popular, as they'd be ideally suited to lowsec Cool

Perhaps making the duration less in lowsec is a good idea too, as this isn't about aiding gatecamps, but dealing with rapidly moving fleets. I believe this proposal will allow more ship explosions to take place, and that's something we'd all like to see. Post your love/hate for this idea as you see fit.

Would the aggression trigger GCC?

Not supported, bubbles are one of the worst game mechanics in the game. They should be deleted entirely. If you want your lazy no skill gatecamp, stay in null sec.

I was thinking that it should, as it'll prevent proper camping on gates and stations.

Dictor probes that trigger GCC would mean suicide for the dictor pilot just to launch a probe. Yes it would be used on occasion but honestly its pointless. Its lowsec not nullsec the strategies are supposed to be different.
Also allowing one thing without all the other nullsec toys that are banned in low like bombs seems short sighted.

bubbles are the only way to cath certain ship types, nothing to do with lazyness. but yes, no for low sec bubbles.

Which makes it 100% useless, as any dictor actually using a bubble will explode.

Low sec isn't empty enough?

bad idea in Eve's current setup.

It would make low sec to a travel to 0.0 only.

less reward more risk.

it wouldn't even do you pirates any good in the end, more people would start cryo jumping. which would reduce the combat to a few choke points that will be taken by big ass alliances kicking pirate bud.

If this triggers GCC and is only available on interdictors, then it is suicide.

If this doesn't trigger GCC, then this is overpowered.

Low sec doesn't need bubbles.

All warfare is based on deception and logistics. Battles and soldiers are secondary priorities.

Those ships are overpowered as well. And by those I assume you mean SC's and titans. Everything else can be caught without them, though I admit cloaky haulers and cov ops require quite a bit of preparation to intercept.

Lo-sec is already scary enough for most ppl even with the cloak-mwd trick to punch thru a non-bubble camp. U add that bubble? No newb will never enter LS ever again. Tats wat I think. vOv
