On a side note to this, has anyone bothered to train the skill past 4?

17 days with a good remap for it, to reduce jump activation time form 9.6 at level 4 to 9 at level 5 seems massively not worth it.

And I realise it was probably meant as an sp ink for those 100mill+ sp chars, but welp I'm one of those 100mill+ chars and still seems very much not worth it imo, and I have trained all the recent new skills to 5 with the exception of Target breaker Amp.


It's worth remembering that TQ works in 1-second "ticks". Train it to 5 and you'll MJD 1 "tick" sooner than those with the skill at 4 about 60% of the time.


Which means you'll warp out of the bubble one second faster than the rest of your fleet. Maybe it does have some use.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

It is just a shame that the jump distances are fixed. Would really have some interesting tactical uses in fleet pvp if you could set it for different set ranges. Like a 30 and 60km script or something. I can just hear the FC smug when half a fleet jumps +30 to the enemy's face as the other half jumps 60 between the enemy and their carriers. Oh well would obviously become way op that way I would imagine.

MJD is epic on the megathron. Anything that wants to tackle you has to get into scram range anything that gets into scram range is dead. I love it. Also for those who do not know when activating the MJD you do not lose lock on your target nor do you lose speed on your ship. so you can insta point / insta warp away. its awesome.

I am not sure if I am going to log in anymore.......

I like the module, but anything tackle will make it useless just like a MWD.

I tried in on my Golem (cruise missile fit)- and it worked like a dream for most L4s. Go in- jump away- shoot from distance- jump back to gate when 2 or 3 NPCs are left (in case you need to jump again soon after using the gate)- and repeat.

Any colour you like.

This one works wonders in lvl4 on any sipe boat. Using it heavly on rokh. It's perfect to get distance, but it can do much more:
- npc scramble can't stop it (confirmed many times), so it's almost impossible to die on mission
- it's fixed to 100km, but in 2 jumps it can cover any distance between 0-200 km, if you see gate in 50km just jump sideway, slowboat and snipe for minimum 3 min, and then jump directly on gate, with little practice it can be done with no time wasted on travel
- with this you can always dictate range to npc(no matter of spawn locations, webbers and scramblers), this makes perfectly possible to fly very lightly tanked ship and just maximize optimal range and dps

Posting in a MJD thread to say I want range scripts for the thing.

I need it because of reasons.

The MJD is useful in a few missions if you're blitzing. It lets you get right next to the NPCs-you-have-to-kill without having to AB/MWD/slowboat into range (and tends to avoid aggroing the rest of the pocket.)

Afaik NPCs don't scramble, they disrupt. Warp Disruptors don't work on MJD and MWD. Had a couple of gate campers raging when my PvE fitted BS got away because of that. Big smile

Could it be useful for PvP? When the enemy is sniping you at ~150km you can MJD a tanky ship, let it MWD until warp range, then have everyone pile on top.

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

^MJD rokh

Also useful (PvP-wise) for pipebombing (getaway), baiting (people know it has a cooldown so when you warp away after MJDing they will likely chase you and expect to catch you on the next gate) and possibly typhoon and/or raven in odyssey (cruise buff).

What is it used for? I mean, I know what it does, but it seems like a solution looking for a problem . . .

Has anyone come up with any creative uses for it?

I remember hearing or reading somewhere that CCP intended them to be more of an engagement module than an escape module, but being able to jump 100km doesnt seem that useful to engage.

IDK anyone out there more creative than I?



Like said before the MjD is a tool to save yourself out of a misery or THE tool for sniping. Warp in, warp to 100 km and then snipe them down.

It's useful in a few missions for some fancy warp to tricks, but generally most missions just require you to tank n gank and you're already sitting within jump range of the gate, in that case the MJD is nothing but a hindrance (unless you're lacking skills and need it to help you tank), and for the ones that have gate crawls using an MWD to straight up burn to the next gate is arguably better than MJD-ing in a triangle formation or MJDing to >150km and warping to the out gate.
