i think we need to have some sort of prestige for dictering like say he gets so much pres for actualy dictering and than a percantage of any kill press made in his dicter field. thats just a thought and im sure the idea could use some refinements.
(plz ignore the bad grammar i know i cant type.)

Another possibility is whenever a ships jump is blocked, the dictor gains some pres per ship blocked and on what type of ship it was.

Any method that involves any decent amount of prestige for the interdictor is abuse central... we've been over this...lots

Those who dictor (esp. with no pres) are true team players - and they should get some pres for it. There has to be a happy medium somewhere...

so ok...set a rank limit on it...say only 1 rank above set rank can get dictor...then fleet would NEED lower ranks....would eliminate a LOT of people from dictor abuse.

The Pilot of a dictor is a TEAM player. For that reason, he should be grouped with the team he is supporting and getting Prestige for their combat. That is how the system was developed and why grouping exists. You will be suprised how fast a dictor gains when grouped in a niice battle group;)

Good point Scotty. And truthfully, I have never had problems getting people to group with me when I am dictoring.

Yeah. If you let ppl know your protecting them, and trapping kills, most ppl usually jump to group you.

Gruiping good, a "Ships Dictered" Stat would be cool though
Ai's shouldnt count on this stat, each dictered ship would count as one point and each Dicter point would be 1 Press point.
I dont see how exploiting this would be easier then exploiting bombing/combat/supplying...

Barth...under that system
3 people in interdictors... 3in scouts... scouts just keep trying to jump within the field and failing...every failed jump is 1 prestige for each interdictor ship....
whoa?

only enemies will count for dictering ores and if an enemy keeps trying to jump in a dicter field he deserves to be blown up.

Don't think you got it quite yet.
I go into the MV with a friend. It's our first time in the MV. I join UGTO, he joins ICC. We go to Delta Pavonis or Caranie. I get in a scout, he gets in a dictor. We jump to a point far out in space, he activates his dictor, I start jumping inside of the field. Rinse and repeat for each person.
Scouts drives take maybe 7 seconds to recharge. Thats 1 point every 7 seconds.
Yes, it could be enforced, but who is going to notice 2 clients in a backwater system when no planets are being captured?

No prestige for dictors.
Only a badge.
1,000 enemy ship jumps disrupted: Gold Interdictor badge
It will mean more newbies flying interdictors, which is a plus for your team but also a plus if your trying to get away. Vets in dictors = trouble

Building 15 Depots on a planet and parking a ship in its orbit so you can attack it is way better way to get press...
Getting one guy to build a planet so the other can bom it clean and rebuild it is also a much easier way...
Heck...People who would farm press using the dicter are simply being stupid...
