Simple idea really, all it consists of is making it so that the dictor can not be engaged during jump and after making a jump it will require a certain amount of time for the jump field to "cool down" before the device can be engaged, eg 30secs - 1min. The main point of this would be so that interdictors cant sit back and then jump on a ship and when it gets to 900gu jump on it again because IMO that kind of abuses the interdictor in a way that it was never intended to be used.

Find a way for dictor pilots to get friggin pres before implimenting this, but when you do, it'd be a cool idea  .

Why should interdictors gain prestige?

The idea of Interdictor gaining prestige and some statistic points was pretty simple:
It was for each successfully aborted jump in own interdictor field ...
Let say 1 interdicting point for scout, 2 for frigate etc ...
and let say each point is 1-3 prestige points ...
not much, but definitely it will be easy to identify WHO know how use interdictor (in profile stats

hmm wouldnt be bad if all dictors had more power.special slots, after all being a high nrg consuming ship yad think one reactor would be the bare minimum..
however i still dont see how a dictor needs recharging if the particles that interupt the nme craft have already been produced & left the ship, floating in the radius ,
actually in theory the interdictor dust would fade after a given time(how long it takes for the field to spread to 1kgu distance) other wise there would lil dictor patches left around space like mine fields.. so to add to the suggestion id say that perhaps a time for intial spreading would be more appropriate...
Ex: Dictor field spreads to the distance of 1kgu at a speed of 50gu a second ,
ie: Im terrorizing kamikaze chicken in his EAD with my dictor While every one gang bangs his ship back to alpha centauri, hes escaping & my power is low so i time it right to stop & then point jump on his head .. oops i overjump 300gu , unfortunatly dictor takes time to spread & i have to wait 6 odd seconds (depending on speed of Kami) before he would be in dictor field , fortunatly his crew were inefficient 10 yr olds he ("liberated" from a taiwanese sweatshop)& were unable to repair the jumpdrive in time before he was once again in the dictor field & ganked like an ethopian with a mcdonalds voucher...
