==Warp disruption fields== | |||
Warp disruption field is an area effect that stops all ships wwithin it from using their warp drives. This field has effectively infinite warp disruption strength and no ammount of warp core stabilizers will allow you to warp. Warp disruption fields can only be used in null security space and wormholes. Because of its appearance, warp disruption fields are commonly referred to as "bubbles". | |||
There are three ways to create warp disruption fields: | |||
Warp disruption field generator on a [[heavy inderdictor cruiser]]. The warp disruption field generator instantly generates a bubble centered on the ship. This also massively increases ship mass and reduces its maximum speed. | |||
Inderdiction sphere launcher on a [[inderdictor]] destroyer. is used for launching an warp disrupt probe that instantly creates a warp disruption field near the launching point. The destroyer that launched the bubble is free to move but the bubble lasts for two minutes. | |||
Mobile warp diruptor structures come in varyin sizes from small (5 km radius) to large (40 m radius). These structures can be deployed in space but it takes two minutes time until the structure creates the bubble. They also have their own structure, armor and shield HP and can be destroyed by shooting at them enough. They also decay on their own if left in space for several days. | |||
All kinds of “bubbles” share common characteristic features: | |||
* Their use is limited to null security and wormhole space. | |||
* Any ships within its area of effect cannot initiate warp, and capital ships cannot use their jump drives. | |||
* Ships warping nearby may be “dragged” out of warp. Imagine a line along which you travel to your destination and project that line beyond your destination. If such line intersects with a bubble anywhere less than 100 km from your final destination you will be either stopped or dragged to the edge of such bubble. (Yes! Dragged beyond your destination! Bubbles situated in this way are commonly referred to as drag bubbles.) Looking at the diagram below you can see what trajectories make you susceptible to being dragged by a bubble – as long as your final destination is less than 100 km from the intersection of your trajectory with a bubble (otherwise you will fly right through a bubble as if it wasn't there). | |||
*Bubbles will influence you only if they are online when you enter warp. This means that if a bubble is placed (or a Warp Disruptor probe launched, or Warp Disruption Field Generator activated) at your destination after you entered warp you can land right in the middle of it rather than landing on the edge. | |||
