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.

Doesn't sound like a good idea. Opens up a loop hole to same faction griefing.
Some one you don't like on the faction you're on. Pop dictor field on when they're almost dead and ready to jump away.

I'm still trying to get people to call it an interdictor, or at least dictor. Good luck getting it on a station.
Also, destroyer with a full set of speed enhancements- hilarious interdictor interceptor.

I wonder what ship station can trap them inside the dico range.
Interdictor is not simply a device, it's actually a service that requires speed. The only bigger ship than cruiser that I think should have interdictor device is the command dread. Make it a richest collection of devices: tractor, mining, bomb, fighter, missle, gun, core, build, repair, scanner and interdictor.
