Bubble-immune 'Ceptors make sense because of their role and because of their generally limited combat capability.
I don't have a problem with T3s having a nullification subsystem, but I do feel that fitting a nullification subsystem should have more of a detrimental impact on a T3's combat ability. I would also be in favor of preventing T3s from mounting both a nullification subsystem and a CovOps subsystem at the same time: CovOps cloak or bubble-immunity, not both at the same time.
No other combat ships should be bubble-immune unless new ships are released with very specialized roles where it makes sense.

T1 bubble-immune shuttles I think would be overkill, but maybe a T2 shuttle variant that is bubble-immune could have a role.
Bubble-immunity makes sense for Blockade Runners from a role standpoint, but I feel like that may be overpowered with their CovOps cloak. (See my above comments about T3s.)
The Yachts are relatively rare, limited editions ships with no significant combat or hauling ability, so I say they're fine as-is.
Again, I don't think any other non-combat ships should be bubble-immune unless new ships are released with very specialized roles where it makes sense.
Steve Ronuken wrote:Should anchorable bubbles exist? Should they decay if they exist? I'm all in favor of them existing, but I do feel that the general shift away from automatic to manned defenses (i.e. POSes vs Citadels) could call for a change. A straight-up decay timer like other anchorables seems a bit harsh, so maybe give them a limited fuel requirement so that if someone wanted to anchor a bubble permanently they would have to refuel it periodically. I think they're fine as they are though and would only favor this change as part of a shifting defensive paradigm.

You will be amazed at how often people track down tractor units to whack em. Confirming that this is a thing. I do it more for the pissed-off reactions, suspect-baiting, and occasional loot drops than the killmails, but the killmails certainly don't hurt my motivation.
