Cruisers: Difference between revisions

Line 79:

With the exception of some T3 cruiser setups, Heavy Interdictors ('HICs') have better tanks then any other cruiser, and match that of most battleships. Their dps is extremely low, but their role is tackling.

In 0.0 they can create a 12-20 km radius warp disruption field similar to ~~what~~ the light ~~interdictor creates,~~ However, while the light interdictor can launch its bubble and then get out, leaving its bubble there for 2 minutes regardless, the HIC has to stay where it wants its bubble to be. Furthermore, while the bubble is up (it has a 30-second cycle time), the HIC cannot receive any type of remote support. While its normal speed remains the same, afterburners and microwarpdrives will have reduced effect. In return, the HIC's mass gets heavily reduced, so that it can get up to speed and change direction extremely fast.

They're best used in pairs with logistics ships as backup so that 1 HIC can bubble the hostiles while the other one is being remote repped; if the enemy starts shooting the bubbling HIC, it can drop its bubble and be repped back up again while the second HIC puts up its bubble instead.
