Jump drive versus jump inhibitor??

[jaytime104]

I know I post alot of questions But this is hurting my head so i just moved to a pvp server and jump inhibitors stop ships with a smaller reactor size so if my reactor is a 32 can a lvl 9 jump inhibitor stop me and also what is the range of this jump inhibitor and how dose it stop me is it from them shooting me are is it just a bubble??

i havent test power 2.0 jump inhibitors but they used to have a effective radius of about 2 sectors (think a 3d plus sign on the universe map). I believe that inhibitors still drain jump charge. again I havent had the chance to test them in power 2.0 so perhaps im wrong about some things here.

they're currently not discharging at all from what I've tried doing with them (installing on both ship with distance chamber & station tested twice for distance & strength, significantly larger than jump ships i was testing them on)

I wish that somone could give me a clear answer on how Jump inhibitors work with the new chambers

I know im late here but for anyone else with this question the interdictor works depending on the target ships reactor level. For this reason inhibitor have to be incredibly powerful to work on battleships and large vessels.

With the inhibitor base its strength is 5 therefore any ship within range with a reactor level of 5 or less will be unable to jump. Each subsequent level of "strength" upgraded increases the inhibitors level by a further 5. so an inhibitor with the strength 1 upgrade will stop any vessel with a reactor level of 10 or less. At level 9 the inhibitor strength is 50 large enough to stop anything but flagships or vessels of similar caliber.

Very helpful! Don’t know any ship large enough to escape a level 9. My 1.6 km ship only has a reactor level of 42, and even then stabilization is almost impossible.
