Aside from the obvious trolling, there was a suggestion made for a webbing bubble. Now, I'm not a lowsec or 0.0 pilot, but a web bubble sounds like a fairly good idea, provided the web bubble is a seperate bubble type to a warp bubble, and there is an effect reduction if a warp bubble and a web bubble overlap.

There's no real way to reduce the effect of a bubble (since it's an infinipoint, and any range reduction will be compensated for by adding more. A webbing bubble of any strength makes crashing any gatecamp harder for no real cost to the camper, and if it's something along the lines of a normal web, it'll make it damn near impossible, since a lot of the time you need that coast from your pre-web high speed to make it to the gate alive. There's also almost no point in placing a web bubble anywhere except for overlapping with a warp bubble (though putting it on a mining fleet might be cool).

tl;dr Web Bubble: Useless or Overpowered depending on implementation.

Ah, okay. I don't have much experience with bubbles or camps, so I didn't really think about it in "reality" terms. Thanks for explaining rather than just trolling though! :)
