This would give Hictors a bit more utility other than Titan Tackle.

And 16km warp scrambler is not utility enough?

ONLY 16km's???

What are you, a scrub? HIC's with a focused point script reach out to 30+ if decently skilled/equipped

I agree though, no need for it to block stargate use. You'd basically make gatecamps inescapable if not in a cloaky interdiction nullified ship (or just cloaky and lucky they don't decloak you)

CCP split the scripts into focused disruption with longer range and focused scrambling with shorter range ( around 16km ). We were talking about the scrambling -script.

You are in fact, correct. I didn't know they split those up...

That said, I just checked the numbers, and a decent fit still scrambles out to 20 odd km's. So yeah, still way too OP

Well, a focused scram kind of overlaps with a Lachesis, and in fact I think the Lachesis can point better. Maybe that's a balance thing, maybe it's a ship role thing.

The Lachesis in my mind should be able to point a subcap target better than a hic.

A hics and dics should be useful for actual interdiction, as opposed to tackle. They already do a great job of this. That they can tackle titans is their utility, not their main role.

I'd possibly be OK with this, seeing as the HIC was recently nerfed totally unnecessarily.

Nah....


When player gates get around to being a thing, sure, I can see arguments for it, but not with NPC high sec gates.

The Law is a point of View

The NPE IS a big deal
