Are tech II destroyers which have the capability to fit specialized module called “Interdiction sphere launcher” and therefore have the capability to launch warp disrupt probes.

This module (while having several adverse effects on the ship that it is used on - please consult the in-game description of this module) creates a warp disruption sphere having 16km in diameter and centered upon the ship for its entire duration. As it is a ships module, not an individual object it cannot be targeted. This field shares characteristic with “bubbles” (described below). This module is not targeted (unless scripted, see below) and can therefore be activated instantly after de-cloaking, making it an excellent "surprise" bubble. | ||
The "Warp Disruption Field Generator" module can also be loaded with “Focused Warp Disruption” script considerably changing its characteristics. When loaded this module no longer creates a sphere, but works like a “standard” warp disruptor module in that it can be used only on one target. This script also allows function of this module in Empire space. It also ignores any attribute of target ship making it otherwise immune to warp disruption – known as “infinity point”. These two distinctions make the use of it crucial in anti-capital warfare in Empire space. | The "Warp Disruption Field Generator" module can also be loaded with “Focused Warp Disruption” script considerably changing its characteristics.

*“drag” ships 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 100km 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 100km from the intersection of your trajectory with a bubble (otherwise you will fly right through a bubble as if it | *“drag” ships out of warp.

*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. | *Bubbles will influence you only if they are online when you enter warp.
