The issue with BCs has allways been bomber fleets. MJD thing alleviates that issue a bit but I do think it is a step in wrong direction as it promotes less kill mail for medium gangs. so basically **** this change.


what if they reduced the resistance bombs have to 90% or something that way you would reach a finite amount of bombs before they start to kill themselves.

100km seems a little too strong for a battlecruiser, considering their superior agility over battleships and the limited engagement range for combat BCs.

With a 50 km range, for example, a Prophecy doesn't jump out of its drone control range, making it more a combat mobility tool than an escape mechanism. You could close in on a kiting Ishtar, for example... :D

cause what attack battlecruisers needed was even more possibilities to not get tackled, aside from their stupid *) speed

yeah i second that... just make it for "combat" BC's and make the range 50km.

BS MJD= Interesting tactical content creation

BC MJD=Risk Averse content creation. Poorly thought out mod that is solving problems that don't really exist.

this idea really good for new tactics warfare .

and BC got overshadow by T3C and BS because BC didn't have much choice and Commandship is expensive . so BC need more tech2.

I'm hesitant to argue this because id love to fit a mmjd Mrym, but I have to agree that its not a good fit for tech 1 bcs. I suggest limiting it to command ships. There's more risk fielding a command ship on grid, so it makes sense that it gets a bonus to maneuverability. And it'll encourage me to finally try soloing in an Eos :)

You remind when there when that game was BC online because BC did everything cruisers did only better? It's coming back. Right now you fly cruisers over BC for increased escapability, with the BC now having the upper hand no reason whatsoever to fly a cruiser anymore...

Oh, and kiting is dead too...

Welcome to "evenly matched fleets fighting at close range", because every other fight will end up with people not engaging or leaving....

All you have to do to balance this is make it so that it is unable to be used when disrupted instead of exclusively scrambled.

I don't think this will have much of an effect on sniping tier 3 BCs, which is pretty much the only flavor of tier-3 BC we see ever since they got nerfed into oblivion - at least the only good use for them. I imagine MMJD will have similar fittings as MWDs meaning that, for sniping tier-3s, they'll be hard to fit. On top of that, MMJD on sniping platforms only offers a greater escape mechanism to those who are incapable of aligning. Mythical MMJD snipers are also categorically worse than Tengus which can sniper from further, align faster, apply more damage, be functionally unprobeable, and actually warp out of bubbles with no 8 second spool up delay should they be caught.


This may open the door back up for the roaming variety of tier-3, which would be nice (if not a huge leap to imagine people would actually do this) since the current roaming ships are fairly stale. THE DREAM would be jumping into a bubble camp, MMJD'ing, and then brawling outrageous. The reality is 'ohgod guys mjd and run!" though, which is kind of annoying since catching people with their pants down is already a pain in the butt. But hey, opening the door for more variety is pretty OK. It's kind of OP for the Vulture though, man who would have thought that the Vulture would not only be a viable PvP ship but arguably the most overpowered roaming platform. What a time to be alive.

The poopy part, as some dude correctly pointed out, is that scrams are going to be even more crucial should these MMJDs catch on. And this really flippin' sucks, especially in the current meta when frigates/AFs are literally everywhere and now they'll have even more reason to fit scrams. The annoying factor is compounded even further since the current meta also favors ships with long effective ranges, making a scram a near-instantaneous death sentence so long as like 3+ people are around.. Scrams are such fun-killing modules man.

MMJD should be affected by long points and bubbles.

Reasons for this are already posted.

Then they better start spooling their MJD as soon as we start spooling ours, because it's not going to take more than 8 seconds to get into scram range and tackle one with a talos overheating the mwd and scram.

This would only be a good idea if long points disabled them.

Needing tackle to get within scram range of battle cruisers is all kinds of stupid.

I agree, it is a good module to use on the Transport Ship, if the spool timer was lower.

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