first off yes im a nobody alt of a nobody care bear, also if this idea has been posted elsewhere i apologize and please flame to your hearts content

So right the idea...

Ammo for inderdictors, or maybe a new ship, that for the duration anything inside cannot be probed and if already probed would disrupt any warp to attempt

I assume that any idea that has to do with "unprobable" and "absolutely safe" will earn a lot of rage here. Either that or simply "no"´s.

Well it wouldn't be "absolute" due to the duration, it would just give a window, if executed properly, and would not prevent any warping, so if the enemy burns an inti or whatever to you they can still warp to it, as was the "solution" to sniping when i wasn't such a bear

snipe vs probe solution happened to me the other day.

Sitting 150km off Efa gate in 3-FKCZ in my hilarious naga of doom (56 kills going strong), I observe a comedian in a rapier jump in and cloak. He then appeared at his 250km above safe, dropping cloak and furiously spewing sisters combats for an on-grid probe, as he aligns towards me.

I align to my safe spot 250km below gate, wait for him to begin warp to me, then I warp to my other safe and pop a shot in his ass. He bounces gate and leaves.

I go back to ratting.

WUT SO HRD FOR YOUSE TOO UNNERSTANT?

This is already in the game, a warp disrupt probe in-line with your on-grid warp-in will prevent you from initiating warp. People who are competent do it often to protect themselves from being warped on.
