Everything subcap can use them.

If it has a jump drive it can not use the JB (sept blops)

Anything that can not fit through a gate, can not use jump bridges either. The only exception are Jump Freighters, which can use gates, but not JBs.

(Second equivalent definition: Anything that has a jump drive can not use JBs. The only exceptions are Black Ops, which have a jump drive but still can use JBs.)

List of what can and what can't use JBs:

Orca: Yes.
(regular) Freighters: Yes.
Rorqual: No.
Jump Freighters: No.
Carriers, Dreadnaughts, Supercarriers, Titans: No.
Everything else: Yes.

note that capitals could use jumpbridges until Incursion 1.5 (which was released in May 2011) - therefore you may still come across a lot of outdated information rgd this topic.

The first change is the removal of ships with jumpdrives from the jumpbridge eligibility list. This isn’t very dramatic and long overdue. Basically if your ship has a jumpdrive, it can’t use the jumpbridge (Black Ops ships are exempt from this rule). This change will go in on the 17th of this month.

Protip: If you are using a jumpbridge, activate your microwarpdrive before jumping.
This will speed up the process, and also cost less fuel.

No need to thank, me for this protip, knowing i helped is enough for me Big smile

This is especially useful when you're jumping through a BlackOps portal
