Ah, that's a shame. Would not reducing the jump range to 75km help? It would be a big shame, and also make little sense to make an arbitrary exception for ABC's.

I still fail to see how this mid is going to help small gang combat?

To be clear, we're not ruling out expansion to Attack Battlecruisers in the future. We'll start with these classes and see how it goes from there.

OK, after reading some peoples thoughts, here is what i got:

Reduce the range to 50km
Reduce Spooler timer and reactivation timer
Allow them to be fit to Logi as well

Personal thoughts: Combat recons too? they need love but that re-balance will happen some other time.

As most BC weapons do not reach this far, wouldn't make a less bigger jump distance more sense on them? Like 50km? After all it is also a smaller version of the device.


I always saw the LMJD as a replacement tool, when drones started to suck this badly to kill elite frigs in missions. You would use a sniper fit, and jump out 100km, and kill everything as it runs towards you. So for me it always seemed like a fix for screwing up the drones aggro mechanics in the first place, and making most close range BS prone to scrambling frigs, what caused them to melt. As all drones were killed by them right away. More like "get into sniping position" - with most BS weapons being able to reach 100km, this is how it is often used.

So the smaller variant should be a bit like that? 50km, as most BC weapons can reach that far?





Overall i see no real use for a MMJD. Especially not with 100km range - maybe if it had 50km range. I guess you designed it mainly as a "get away card" for the DST. You could give the DST just a bonus so it can use the LMJD instead...

Just... don't.

Unfortunately it's not feedback on the things that are actually being talked about, so it's only a small improvement.

Yeah whatever, lore reasons you can leave up to the janitor to write five minutes before the final revision is committed.

It's a 'get away card' for both. Soloers are going to be left having to just accept they can't kill them in many cases, it's a pretty crappy choice being forced to dive on a target which often means getting blobbed and dying or having to watch it mjd away.

I mean a lot is being made of the fitting requirements for them, but you can swing that argument right around and talk about the requirements for roaming then. It's not like you've got endless amounts of mids to go for a long and short point, so do you select a disrupter which can't hold down much at all anymore or go with a scram where you not only have to be pretty welpy to catch anything but in most scenarios the target is going to start further than 9km away and more than likely just watch them warp off. And this is in an era where there is so few legit targets anyway.

I guess we're just all expected to play consensual blobs online 2014.

You want to still be in blaster or autocannon range after jumping or something? 75km would be fine in my opinion. 50km would also be ok but I wouldn't want to see any less. 100km is far too long range to have much useful combat purpose other than escape.
