Is there a list compiled anywhere where a MWD is useful for a slow battleship traveling from gate to gate?

Edit: (contributions welcome)

MWDs are useable in all missions.

Yeah. But not all missions have any use for a MWD and some would definitely shave off a few minutes. I was wondering if anyone had compiled a list of those.

Read missions reports, they mention it when there are far gates.

Sounds like an opportunity for you to contribute to the community.

P.S. Unless you have very high SP, MWD will gimp your BS in some fashion.

I used to use a Vigil for that, actually all 3 recon missions but just upgraded to the republic fleet firetail because it looks cooler and I wanted a little bit more leeway than finishing recon 3 of 3 at 20% shields.

I see no need in using a BS i that mission at the most a well tanked cruiser will do it quite easily with a MWD.

Fair enough. I'll try to list the ones I find as I go through them.

Either I'm missing something, or there's a great big non-sequiter in your post.

Meh, I got a decent amount of skill points and a decent MWD, I always have it on my ship. Not only to move around faster, but to also gain some distance on the smaller targets in a mission while I nuke some of the bigger ones with my 1400s Smile

The problem with 100MN MWDs is their fitting requirements - you'd need to give up either tank or gank to crowbar the MWD in. Afterburner should generally be sufficient if you've got some patience. Except perhaps for Recon 3, for which a tanky battlecruiser with a MWD works just fine.

And one type of combat where 1400s actually make a lot of sense? When you're up against jamming Gurista battleships that orbit out beyond autocannon range. If you don't know how long your firing window will be open, the alpha damage you get means that: a) the jam cycle is pretty close to how long you'd be waiting for the guns to cycle again; b) they won't have brought their shields all the way back up before you can reacquire lock and reacquaint them with your little friends. (Plus it's sick sadistic fun to put your view on a battleship in formation, then lock onto an escorting battlecruiser, press F1, and watch the thing go from full health to OMGWTFBBQ in one shot.)

if you have a maelstrom it makes a lot of sense to have a mwd for all missions - with AC's your effective range is 20 -25 km and with 1400's you need to have range to keep the transversal down.
I have one on my mach as well and it can reach close to 1500 m/s so I never take it off - I tank with my DPS and my 800's have more range than I can target , so I just use it for convenience mostly. In all honesty though I never change my fit .

I'm gonna suggest that you list travel distances so people are clear on why an MWD is useful.
