SC Interdictor as Area Defense

[MadDogMurdock]

Given the existence in the game of technology which can drop ships out of SC, it would make sense to deploy it as an area denial defense technology.

Given the speed limitations in normal travel, factions could potentially prevent non-aligned ships from getting anywhere near their important installations.

Just a thought.

Would work well as a capital ship in a similar way to an Interdictor Class Star Destroyer I suspect, hopefully we will see something once the main story starts...

I'd rather it didn't become a player ship ability, it would be a griefer's wet dream.

I see these more as static defenses in normal space.
Not mountable on available ships due to the additional requirement to be able to track ships moving in SC.

The interdictors we have available to us work because you're also in SC and can match course and speed to an extent.

Could be some interesting gameplay elements if you needed to thread your way through these kind of obstacles in order to complete a faction mission.
