Nerd picks sabre.
Nerd spam “Interdiction bubble module” whenever neutral ship appear at the gate.

If that’s the case, why don’t you fly interdictors? If they’re so op, you should just use them too and then you won’t have to complain

Sorry, but the reason for this whole discussion is just ridiculous.
Time for a reality check: I had a look at OP’s killboard (i guess it was the kills from 8. december that made you so salty). The Sabre you are talking about podded you twice at the same gate within 10 minutes. So at least the second time you should have known that he was there. The sabre was solo and you were not even in a ship, you traveled in your pod. What is, let’s call it nicely, a very suboptimal form for traveling in Nullsec.
I understand that this can be frustrating, nobody likes to get caught on a gate. But If you had “Insert-random-T1-frig-here” with an MWD fitted you would have easily been able to reapproach the gate or just outrun the sabre.
Starting a ballance discussion about a whole ship class or game mechanic based on somebody got caught while pod-traveling is not very representative, isn’t it?
And welcome to Syndicate, btw.

You were dumb enough to run head first in nullsec IN A BLOODY POD, y’know, the thing that can’t fit modules, dies to a Micro smart bomb and cannot go over 200m/s ?
Your. Entire. Goddamn. Fault. It’s not the fault of the game or something as specialised as an Interdictor if you’re this idiotic. Loss deserved, lesson learnt, end of the story. Welcome to EVE, snowflake.
Already exist. It’s called an Heavy Interdictor Cruiser. Y’know, the only ship in the game that can use scripts on the Warp Disruption Field Generator ? Yeah, the thing that basically act as a warp Disruptor/scrambler with infinite strength. And the only way to tackle a supercapital in Lowsec.
Would make A LOT of ships in the game uncatchable. I’m thinking about everything that can align in less than two seconds, which mean before the gate or wormhole cloak effects completely disappear (the one that PREVENT LOCKING), or anything that can use a Covert Ops Cloaking Device and a MWD. Just have to cloak, burn as far away as possible from hostile, warp.
Dumb ideas made by dumb people, what could we expect ?

my last death is one in 50 encounter with sabre
what do sabre do? camp at gate, you break cloak and start to warp then sabre insta cast bubble then you cannot do anything
sometimes its really annoying to deal with cancer op dictor spam bubble every single time you try to warp from gate away
you could do this.
Yeah, you can NOT WARP in the first place. Instead of warping you click a random point in space away from gate, hit MWD and cloak at the same time and cloak up with a full mwd cycle bringing you up to speed. After half of the MWD cycle you again change direction so the Interdictor cannot know where exactly you went and decloaking becomes almost impossible. Then you move out of a bubble if there is any and warp away.
This is a very simple solution to a non-existing problem. You are just too lazy to even ask what you could do so you instantly demand something to be done to cater to your needs. This is not how it works and you, my dear OP, should actually be ashamed of yourself.
GAME IS OVER
please read previous post, all sabre equipped with T2 web and scram
insta-deployed bubble + web + scram = game over
No, Interdictors are not overpowered. You are just refusing to adapt and do your best to not get killed.
Ok, let’s get constructive here. My alliance mates will perhapes not like it that much because they are the ones who shot you 
But anyway:
You should try this (i assume in this example that you are in a frigate without a cloaking device):
-
If you jump through the gate and see a dictor, stay cloaked and don’t panic. Have a look arround.
-
Your ship will be somewhere arround the gate in 15 km distance while the dictor is usually at 0 so that his bubble can cover the whole gate and prevent you from warping away.
-
Check your overview for Asteroid belts, custom offices or other celestials that are in the opposite direction to the gate / dictor.
-
If you have one, ALIGNE (not warp!) to this celestial, overload and activate your microwarpdrive and start burning towards this celestial. Frigates usually outrun every dictor easily. And in standard situations, you are NOT in scram / web range of the dictor. At least at the point when he gets a target lock on your ship.
-
Even if he manages to put a scram or web on you for a moment, frigates accelerate very fast and the initial speed boost from your microwarpdrive is usually enough to swing you out of his range (activate MWD again if he managed to scram you for a moment).
-
As soon as you are out of his bubble, press warp.
-
If you don’t have a celestial that fits you, just burn out of the bubble in the opposite direction with overloaded mwd and as soon you have enough distance to the dictor, warp to wherever you like.
-
Very important too: Have some funny gifs like that https://i.imgur.com/xg7Opk5.gifv to make fun of or with the dictor pilot
-
Or just reapproach the gate with overloaded mwd. Especially if the dictor has Interceptors supporting him. Your acceleration is so fast that it is nearly impossible to prevent a frigate to reach the gate, even if you have scram and web. Even cruiser sized ships have a big chance to escape that way if the pilot knows what he does.
Scramblers don’t “stop” your ship in space, they just deactivate the mwd. And even the web is not enough to prevent you from reaching the gate in seconds with the speed you allready have taken up. A proper fitted frigate should easily be able to escape a solo dictor that way.
So… What’s the problem with that ? What’s the problem with people that waited time for all the skills to get in a Tech II hull, have Disruption Probe Launcher and T2 webs and scram ?
You got owned, then you complain on the forum. Let me get this up front : nothing will be done. You can cry as much as you want, it will only make us laugh more. And I can assure CCP won’t move a little finger for a lone idiot rushing null in a pod.
Guys, guys guys
Listen man
guys
Did you know that a specific ship that specializes in a small niche does well in that small niche?

The good news is that the interdictor bubbles themselves in.
interceptor player is immune to bubble except its pod
Bomber - bomb 10km explosion radius do 6k damage to cap like naglfar, nidhoggur with 12sec activation delay. only good for countering caps but not sub-cap ship
Interceptor - bubble 20km disable warp drive completely (not even warp core stabilizer can counter it) to ALL ship no matter you are small frig or big cap with INSTANT 0s deployment time
And? You decided to move in NPC null and now you whine about null mechanics? Get good or go back to Amarr.
No they aren’t you donkey.
There are only two classes that are immune to non targeted disruption :
- Tackling Interceptor : Ares, Crow, Malediction, Stiletto.
- Tech III Cruisers with the ‘Propulsion - Interdiction Nullifier.’
This mean that Interdictor (and HIC) are trapped by their own interdiction probes after they launch them. This is why the niche of Interdictors require their pilots to have a good level of situational awareness, as they can easily trap their fleet and themselves if a single probe is misplaced.
Would be nice for you to check whatever you’re saying before actually posting it. You’ll go around a lot of ■■■■ like that.
