Interdictors: Difference between revisions

The core tactical advantage of an interdictor is the ability to launch three types of probes out of a fitted '''Interdiction Sphere Launcher''', only one of which may be fitted to a ship at a time. The use of this module is prohibited in [[System security#Empire space|Empire Space]], which limits its use to any system with a security status 0.0 or below. Due to this restriction, Interdictors have little utility within lowsec and highsec.

* '''Warp Disrupt Probe''' - Creates a warp disruption field in a 20 km radius from the launch point of the probe, resulting in a 40km diameter spherical field of effect. Any ship that is inside that field will not be able to warp out to another celestial or tactical similar to a warp disruptor module being applied by an enemy ship, despite whether a [[WCS|warp core ~~stabilizers~~]] is fit. Ships that have selected "Warp to" in their user interface, but before they have entered warp, will cancel their warp and come to a complete stop once affected by the warp disruption bubble, with the exception of ships warping due to a logoff. These probes also prevent capital ships from cyno'ing and jumping out. Ships with activated Interdiction Nullifiers as well as [[shuttle|shuttles]] are the only situations where a ship is immune to disruption bubbles. These warp distruption probes remain on-grid for 2 minutes before disappearing. Only 3 probes may be loaded in the launcher at a time.

* '''Surgical Warp Disrupt Probe''' - These probes are similar to the Warp Disrupt Probes but have a smaller radius of 10km, or a 20km diameter. In return, they last an extra minute totaling 3 minutes on on-grid. Only 3 probes may be loaded in the launcher at a time.

* '''Stasis Webification Probe''' - Nicknamed the 'Wubble', when dropped the probe will sit idle for 3 seconds, then detonate, instantly applying a 30-second duration 40% speed reduction to all ships within 10km of the point where it was deployed. Wubbles will not persist after detonating, and will not disrupt the warp drives of ships they affect, however they can be used in combination with conventional bubbles to further immobilize and hinder an enemy fleet. Only 5 probes may be loaded in the launcher at a time. Launching a subsequent probe that affects the same ship only resets the timer and does not stack the webification effect.
