During our match, me and aloe cloveris both landed scrams on VNIs attempting to MJD at seperate times only to have them still jump off with the scrams still active. We even had a brief view of scramming a ship at 100km away until the server broke our locks. It was visible on http://null-sec.com/atxii/#/replay/0/0 as well.

15:17:39 Combat Warp scramble attempt from Aloe Cloveris-Astarte[DROOG]: to Nanaki-Vexor Navy Issue[-RZR-]:
And around 2:17 I scram the same VNI and it still MJDs away and its visible on the AT stream.

Pretty big deal if that's the case.

CCP Veritas has already been informed by Baach, but yeah. This is just here so that if CCP figures something out, everyone can be informed.

As-is rules. You're playing with the same possible bugs that everyone else is. That said they're aware of it and will look into it after tomorrow.

I'm aware, its not probable that it will be the make or break event in one of the fights this week but I felt it should be mentioned and mention that CCP is already aware its a thing.

Hello,

On the replay of Null-Sec, VNI piloted by Nanaki enter warp at 02:23 and scrambler are displayed at 02:24 while it was already in warp. I guess it has something to do with server "ticks" of 1 sec.

At 00:43 it's the opposite situation, scram's icon disapear and the VNI enters warp just after that. I think it's the designed mechanic if it was scrambled while MJDing.

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Micro_jump_drive says :
"If you activate the MJD, get warp scrammed but break the scramble before the jump, you will still jump".

Just my 2 cents, it is sure that as a spectator and watching the replay, I'm not in the best position to judge.

One of the issues with determining this from the actual stream today is the scram icons weren't showing up on the UI, so it was difficult to tell. I was trying to watch the scram notifications on my screen, but there's so much going on that I'd have to be watching nothing but that to really follow it. Sad
