Propulsion Inhibitor doesn't do a lot?

Me and my friends play Guard, but more than often are interceptors able to away from our Propulsion Inhibitor without any problems. Is it bugged or does pretty much every interceptor have an ability to escape the inhibitor?

It Simply slows them down. Anything can escape from the area of effect but while they are in the AOE they are easier to hit and for a longer period of time. Coupled with a tackler, a target ship could be trying to escape but barely moving. Example an empire frigate.

Nah, just Implants, Federation R8.

If you use any recovery / active resistance module (Shield Booster S/M/L, Hull restore S/M/L, Multiphase Shield Adapter, Nanocomposite coating) all negative effects on your engine disappear and you’re immune against them for 3 seconds. I use this implant as well.

To repeat: Stop frigballing.

I doubt they are frigballing. Probably just enjoy playing guards. No harm in that.

Actually, the Signature Masking and the Mass Propulsion Inhibitor are the worst modules available for the Guard due to the amount of Counters or No-Care regarding them.

What do you have on a J-guard?

Shield Booster L, Multiphase shield adapter, This super shield boost module (forgot the name) & Pulsar?

Mass propulsion inhibitor just turns off afterburners. It doesn’t really slow ships down that much, but it does turn off adaptive shields (which is what a lot of people use to tank in faster ships), and makes frig acceleration practically zero. Don’t rely on it to slow people down, but to strip adaptive tanks on fed and jericho ships, and to highly reduce enemy frig maneuverability. But as Rakza said, it’s got plenty of counters for the ships that need it and doesn’t really do that much to ships that don’t.

Sounds like a troll build if I ever heard one >.>

Works for situational build. The double Multipurpose allow you to perma remove Slow/Energy Drain, and since the Emergency Shield booster is unlocked at R9. It’s a must have in lower Tiers/Rank (even If I would prefer an AMS instead of the Multiphase Shield Adapter with Mk3 gears)
