Cool. I suspect there'll be some downside though, like not being able to move while in some kind of "mini-siege".

Can't get the link (IT NAZIs) but I'd like to see how they manage "massive damage output" on a Mega hull with only 4 turret slots. I'm very inteersted to see the bonuses. From what I've seen so far, they seem to follow more of a recon / horse recon model (special abilities, maybe web range etc on the non cov ops one, cov-ops cloak on the Sin) than AF/HAC (pwnage) but without seeing the actual ship bonii it's not going to be possible to confirm.

Still, I want BOTH

/starts training BSV / cloaking V

Hold on, I trained HAC and recons months back and haven't flown either outside of SiSi yet

-- Suppressor Heavy Interdictor cruisers - A more lethal interdictor whose warp-jamming suppression sphere moves with the ship

[Hehulk]

More lethal is possibly the wrong word. Yes, the bubble moves with the ship, but it's an AOE warp disruptor as opposed to a proper bubble. The far more interesting effect if that it reduced mass and MWD/AB boost speed, so you'll be agile as fuck inside one of these, but good luck moving at any kind of speed.

What's really evil is heavy interdictor + interdictor + recons/HACs. Maliciious isn't the word.
