There are two types of warp disruptor available and your reasons to use them are important to remember. The short-range ?Warp Scrambler I? has a range of 7.5km but a scramble strength of 2. In comparison, the ?Warp Disruptor I? has a range of 20km but a scramble strength of only 1. One point of scramble is actually enough to stop any target from warping unless they are using warp core stabilisers. Each stabiliser they have fitted increases the number of points of scramble you need to hit them with to disable their warp drive.

 

Since these stabilisers give a large penalty to targetting speed and range, a combat vessel will typically not perform well with them on but if you're at war and chasing an industrial target such as a mining barge or hauler, expect them to have fitted them. Since combat ships tend not to fit warp core stabilisers and range on the scrambler is particularly important, you'll almost always choose to use the warp disruptor.
