MJD would be a cool idea to jump out of a bubble(gate camp) but not allow it to jump into one.(Transport ships eg. blockade runners, would benefit from it and give them a fighting chance vs a camp.)

a long cool down time would be ideal( 2-5 minutes)

overheating could increase the distance

Allow only one of these module per granted ship

Maybe a fuel charge?

The module should not be target/object dependent

Counter should be a specific bubble that disrupts the module(also the warp jammers), BUT a system should be allowed a limited number of these bubbles active.(1)


speaking of bubbles; all bubbles should be password protected to activate(bubble expands) and deactivate(bubble compresses back into the module in space.) it from a distance(10km) to allow specific people through(corp members, Ransom givers, alliance members, etc.) more easily.


Let me know what you think.

it will be interesting to see this module affect fleet doctrines. 200 people in BSes all jumping forward 100km at once would be an awesome thing to see...

.... and switch to long range ammo, activate MJDs errybody

And they thought I was crazy lol ...Dunno if CCP developed this from that https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=36498 . Still think the warp drones would have been a better idea but thanks CCP for saving the blaster boats from a slow death.

Oh and I definitely would like to see this module with range scripts :
- Short Range 20 KM
- Medium Range 50 Km
- Long Range 100 Km



HINT: No, CCP did not develop this from your post.

The drone idea sounds terrible.

The MJD looks like it's potentially interesting. Looking at it at the moment it seems rather underwhelming, however if I was going to put it in game I'd rather it be not very good and tweak it so it became good, rather then put it in accidentally so OP that battleships just blink around the galaxy smashing stuff in the face with impunity.


The only terrible idea is you starring down the barrel of my auto cannon !
