A '''warp disruption field''' is an area effect that stops all ships within it from using their warp drives. This field has effectively infinite warp disruption strength; no number amount of warp core stabilizers will allow a ship to warp out of a bubble, however all other movement and propulsion modules are not restricted. Warp disruption fields can only be used in null security space and wormholes. Because of their appearance, warp disruption fields are commonly referred to as "bubbles". | A '''warp disruption field''' is an area effect that stops all ships within it from using their warp drives.

There are | There are five ways to create warp disruption fields: | ||
* An inderdiction sphere launcher on a [[interdictor]] destroyer. This module launches standalone warp disrupt probes which instantly create warp disruption fields. (The field will visibly expand from the probe, however this expansion is purely visual and the bubble is effective at full size immediately.) Once launched, the probe will not move (although it can be moved by a [[Propulsion equipment#Micro Jump Field Generator|jump destroyer]]), while the destroyer which launched it is free to fly away. Warp disrupt probes project 20km-radius bubbles and last for 2 minutes. | * An inderdiction sphere launcher on a [[interdictor]] destroyer.

* A Warp disruption field generator on a [[Heavy Interdiction Cruisers|heavy interdiction cruiser]]. The warp disruption field generator instantly generates a bubble centered on the ship. This bubble will move as the ship moves, and the generating ship can still move normally. The field's radius is based on the type of generator used and the skills of the cruiser pilot. | * A Warp disruption field generator on a [[Heavy Interdiction Cruisers|heavy interdiction cruiser]].

* A [[Capital Ship Modules#Burst Projectors|Warp Disruption Burst Projector]] fitted to a [[supercarrier]]. This module creates a 10km radius disruption field, centered on the target location, with a 500km maximum targeting range, 40s duration, and 8 minute cooldown. | |||
* Mobile Warp Disruptor deployables, which come in varying sizes from small (5 km radius) to large (40 km 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, however they can be deactivated and picked up (with no delay) by the pilot who deployed them. | * Mobile Warp Disruptor deployables, which come in varying sizes from small (5 km radius) to large (40 km radius).

* The Empire Surveillance System deployables, which among their other effects will also project a 20km radius warp disruption field. Furthermore, these structures will automatically send a message in Local chat whenever a ship warps to them. These deployables specifically cannot be used in wormhole space. | * The Empire Surveillance System deployables, which among their other effects will also project a 20km radius warp disruption field.
