Best of luck with that when it is not alone and can jump away from you. It's most likely suicidal unless you greatly out number the enemy.
Be in mind, I'm talking about some one who knows how to pilot one. Not your average joe who just hit the rank to use it.

.....People seem to forget that Interdictors regularly park ontop of stations anyway.

Well, isn't your job to stop them from hitting your more valueable assets? (dreads/stations)? If you make the dictor flee, isn't that a victory?
Besides, if they're shooting you they're not shooting your allies.

You know, that reminds me, before the trend of instantly parking ontop of the nearest station started I would regularly go after Interdictors with a Sensor Corvette. Most often they'd cloak/flee, or SD after trying a couple short jumps (1-2k), and sometimes I'd actually kill them. Was almost a 100% guaranteed kill on the rare occasion I could get someone else to grab another Scout and join in.

Doesn't stop them from going slow and jumping you when you're almost out of the dictor field.
Only way to effectively counter a cruiser dictor with a good pilot is another dictor.
I'm fine with that though because on their own, cruiser dictors can't even kill a supply/transport ship before it kills them.

This.
Is it so much to ask that dictor's jump be disabled while dictor is active?
Nobody flies dictors unless they have overwhelming firepower. Usually most folk get how annoying it is, and follow the "Unspoken rule" that if you fly a dictor, the other side gets one out too, and everyone is irritated.

If you guys ask me... I say that dicos should affect all ships regardless of factions. Only then will it be a truly strategic tool.
This includes the dico ship itself. So if a dico ship gets pursued, it needs to turn off the dico to jump or escape. So being a dico pilot isn't just... run run run, short jump to trap another ship, then run again.
You'll have to think.... as a dico, do I turn it off now? One of my allied ships is burning and needs to jump out... but if I turn it off, some other enemy ships may escape (or reinforcements jump in).
Add more brains to the game.
And we should increase the dico range to 1500 or 2000, if it's gonna be an "affect everyone" effect.

Pretty much not likely to happen. People already complain about dread and station space... Having dictors a specialized ship helps force mixed fleets.
