The ~~Interdicator~~ may find themselves with a number of different and unique responsibilities depending on the current circumstances of a brawl or the FC's objectives. This can span from attempting to catch hostile ships, trapping an enemy fleet, or pursuing an opposing fleet throughout the region. It's always important to remember that under all these circumstances the Interdictor's most powerful weapon equally affects all ships, friend or foe. This simultaneously means that not only have you trapped the opposing fleets ships and pods, but you have also trapped your own, assuming they are within the field of the bubble. The presence of your bubbles should not be a surprise to your fleet, in particular your FC. Ensure you have established clear operating instructions, including if and when you have discretion to place bubbles at will. Operating an Interdictor will often either make you the fleet's favorite member, or their most hated. You don't want to be bubbling your DPS fleet without clear instructions from your FC.

Another common mistake pilots make is that if a fleet is clearly willing to engage your fleet, then there is nothing you need to do; They are not fleeing so there is no need to risk your ship under this circumstance. The most optimal time to drop a bubble is the point when you or the FC believe the opposing ship(s) are intending to flee, whether that is at the beginning of the engagement or mid-engagement.
