What slot are these disruptors going to occupy?

CD slot, most probably. Though can I suggest that the ammo is POB-Manufactured?

Actually no, Cloak Disruptors are going to use the CM slot so you have to choose between a cloak, a cm dropper or a disruptor. You can't have both.

There's always the possibility of moving them to the CD slot and make it impossible to use any of the two if both a cloak and a cloak disruptors are mounted. Feel free to give your thoughts.

Alley was right.

What if..you make the cloak use a CD mount?
Like, not even joking here.

You can have a cloak and a CM, but if you want a free get-out-of-pews card, you do not get to catch anyone yourself.

In that case, regards to the cloak disruptor, I can see that as fair since cloakers have to give up their CM slot in order to be able mount a cloak. With Jumpers however, I would not see that as fair since Jumpers do not have to sacrifice any basic equipment (like a CM) to be able to mount a Jump Drive.

Furthermore, if these disruptors are only mountable on the CD slot, I'll assume that they won't be able to cruise disrupt targets either? If this is the case then it is illogical to have them at all, as a targets cloaking/jumping ability can be disrupted, however they can still just cruise away.

Personally I don't see why both a cloak disruption ability and a jumping disruption ability can't just be placed into the cruise disruptor.

Though all I've said above is merely speculation and assumption, so I'll be happy if all of that is not the case

battleships don't have a cd slot. Same thing, we'll make them choose between a jumpdrive or a disruptor.

Actually, cloak discruptor in same slot as cruise disruptor is good idea.
Few ships would be able to use both, giving them another good purpose, but most of them would be limited to only one.

[Hidamari]

Im always nice. mostly.

Can it be assumed there will be a Nomad version of the cloak disruptor?

[Highland Laddie]

Personally I don't see why both a cloak disruption ability and a jumping disruption ability can't just be placed into the cruise disruptor.

Because that kinda makes the CD an OP tool. I'd personally rather have people actually have to make tactical decisions about what load outs they bring to the table instead of just having a 1-weapon-beats-all option.
