Heavy Interdiction Cruisers (HICs) are Tech 2 Cruisers which combine area of effect warp disruption with the tanking capabilities of Heavy Assault Ships. Rather than using warp disrupt probes, the heavy interdictors use a module, the Warp Disruption Field Generator, which prevents all ships within its range from warping or jumping.

A Heavy Interdiction Cruiser (“HIC” or “HICtor”) can fit a high-slot module that creates an interdiction sphere or “bubble” which prevents the use of warp drives or jump drives within its radius. This module can be fitted with a script that will change its behavior; instead of creating a bubble, it will become a targetable module similar to a warp disruptor. However, unlike typical warp disruptors that apply 1 “point” of warp disruption (that can be countered by the target having 1 or more warp stabilizers, each of which would provide -1 “point”), the Heavy Interdictor's module applies an (effectively) infinite amount of “points”, meaning that no amount of warp core stabilizers can counter it. Supercapital ships have built-in warp core stabilization “points”, meaning that in some cases Heavy Interdictors are the only way to lock them on field.

Notes:

• HIC points will prevent Capital and Supercapital ships from using gates – excluding Freighters and Jump Freighters – but not subcapital ships.
• HIC points, like any other point, will prevent ships of all types from tethering at a Citadel. Ships of any type, however, can still dock while pointed.
• HIC points will prevent the target from taking reps (seige, triage, bastion, etc.)
• HIC points, like Warp Disruptors but not Warps Scramblers and Interdiction Spheres (launched from either Interdictors or deployables), will prevent the use of Micro Warp Drive and Micro Jump Drive modules.
• While the HIC point is active, the HIC cannot receive remote assistance of any kind, including most importantly remote repairs, but also sensor boosting, ECCM, etc.
• A HIC bubble, like any other bubble, will prevent the use of warp or jump drives of any kind, including anchored Jump Bridges, Titan bridges, covops bridges, etc.
• You can cloak with your interdiction module still running. If you do, it will cycle down in about 3 seconds.
