I'm glad this module is coming for CBCs

Really really glad.

I'm going to use it to shove my harbinger up your Ishtars ass. Repeatedly.

The kiting setups have been a cancer on this game. You get to keep range and drop your drones, nothing can catch you and you get to sit back and announce to yourself that your a leet pvper for pounding slow ships with short engagement windows to death whilst somehow thinking this is a fair or equal fight. Yes yes I know there are no fair fights, this is Eve. But to paraphrase poorly some fights are fairer than others.

When we gate camp we do it with a boosted proteus at zero on the gate, this means that we can get hot dropped and you know have a fight. My corp runs with large numbers of scrams not points for a reason. And tbh if a battlecruiser jumps into a gate that we are on in low sec I would say it is killed almost 100% of the time, cloak or stabs do not help.

So roll on the MJD. I don't see it as a get out of jail free card, I see it as a weapon to be used to close the range, engage scram and club you to death.

Perhaps the people that like to kite can go look for each other and kite each other to boredom. Roll on Kronos, back to BS and BC fleets.



Nope. They have not been. Kiting is one of the 2 only ways LEFT in game that a group can engage large superior numbers of enemies. The other is massive logistic !@#!@##!..


Anyone that use any other way of combat is relyign on numeric superiority, or enemy stupidity to not lose.


The constant nerfing of everything like kitign is the cancer on this game, that pushes more and more into a BLOB only game.

Contrary to the myth, msot of the kiters are much more likely to stay and fight than to run away. In fact peopel use kitign ships sothey can STAY and FIGHT, not run away as soon as more targets appear in local.

So the cowards are not the kitters, its EXACLTY the other way around.




I respect your right to your incorrect opinion.

Kitiing tends to be a low risk proposition as you get to select your fights. CBCs typically get less choice especially in small numbers or solo. This module will force choices on kitiing players, risk actually getting scrammed or let your target get away. Or bring a mixed fleet. Either way it's in the game. Oh and I've done a bit of PvP over the years, kiters do not stay around and fight the moment it looks like they might get hard tackled and killed they warp off, typically because they are not stupid. Just my own experience others may differ.

You're trying to use reason and logic on someone who isn't interested in either, nor in balance. He's just interested in how he may lose a kill on a Drake undocking from the Jita 4-4, and he'll use any kind of warped :logic:, huffing and puffing to try and convince people that MMJD will be really bad for the game, don't you know.

Um... there doesn't seem to be any Medium Micro Jump Drive BPOs on the market like the large one. Something change?

So with MMJD out I'm eagerly awaiting the first reports of CBC swarms blotting the sun, people biomassing their kiter chars (who the fck needs navigation skills lol) and kiters dying left and right by the thousands. Scattered voice reports going "dat Drake, he killed all of us! Liberate tutame".


No?


Exactly.

Someone has them, though. There are a lot of them on the market already. Too many to have come from exploration. (I assume there are also BPCs somewhere, like with the large version.)

I made 25 of them and they darn nearly sold out within a matter of a few hours... although im happy for the sale.. I am not happy not knowing what to farm or grind for.. don't leave any rat alive is the only conclusion

What ever people says and complain i'm happy with this new setup, time to adapte your playstyle with this new change and bring this damn mode for Attack battle cruiser. People are crying much more and fear for nothing just cause something change in the game, i'm happy for the change it make me want to try something news!! STOP play always the same and bring us more change at each patch to make us discover all new possibilty.

BPC's come from the Angel Kickbacks escalation at least so I'm assuming they are being seed in anoms etc

It is a handy module to have for large ships to travel with their more fleet cousins. However, the exact distance is of limited tactical value. Would it be possible to add a slider bar like the scanner bar used for the on board scanner to allow for better precision while using the module?That would allow for a much greater tactical use, which could be refined for precision with increased skill levels.

just my thoughts on it.
