==== Defensive Bubbles ====

While uncommon, bubbles can also be used for defensive purposes during engagements. The purpose of defensive bubbles is to eliminate the ability for the opposing fleet to warp to tacticals or other points that are within brawling range of your fleet. This is most practical when your fleet is fit for kiting while the opposition may be fit for brawling. This requires coordination with your FC and clear communication on when and where you will be dropping the bubble, which may intersect with a segment of the friendly fleet. This tactic most typically involves following the friendly in their alignment and dropping bubbles multiple times to build a wall.

The other useful case for defensive bubbles is to limit the ability of stealth bombers during large engagements. The use of bombs requires a very specific distance and vector to their target, and placing defensive bubbles cause the bombers to spend much more time getting into the correct position and increases their risk on the field.
