Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Is anyone getting the error "External factors are preventing your Large Micro Jump Drive from responding to this command"? I find this odd as I am using a "Micro Jump Field Generator".

Can't be used in hisec.

Interesting little ships these Command Destroyers, some fun to be had - even if they do challenge competence at maneuver with a little random trololol.

Anyway, as ever the cunning eve player has found ways to maximise the effect with consequences that may have been unforeseen, so I would like to suggest one slight change in their operation.

Consider fleet A, a collection of DPS and Tackle sitting tight on 2 command destroyers. The fleet is 100km from its targets. Destroyer one aligns to the target and activates its MJFG. A second or two later the second destroyer activates its MJFG. The fleet is jumped onto its target by the first micro-jump device. A second after it lands the device on the second command destroyer activates and jumps the entire fleet and target away.

This is a very cunning plan, and kudos to those who thought it up, however there is little option for the defenders to counter with only a second to react.

(TLDR) my suggestion - entering warp/jump by any means resets the activation time for a MJFG. If we are going to have these little spoilers, lets have at least a fighting chance to defend against them.

so, they can move marauders and hictors which cannot warp them selfs.... hell, bastion marauders are immune to e-war...

what went wrong with the coding?

during your invu.-timer, you can't get dragged away from station with a CD, as result, undocking/dockinggames are still a thing ... sadly.

Unless it's from a gate cloak (invulnerable) then yes it can (at least that's what they said).

right.... soooo when your not invuln. you get jumped 100km away. so not still a thing.

um no. if you just dock up when you loose invuln. then your not station gaming. you might as well not even be at that station. the whole reason that you clearly arnt getting about it upsetting station games is you can jump the dps away. ffs.

I think the Micro Jump Field Generator concept is kind of gimmicky.

From a design standpoint I suggest focusing on making standard play more solid and balanced.

Adding new, gimmicky features detracts from the game. Sure, there will be a bunch of gung-ho players who always hype up gimmicky stuff ("Oh yeah, that sounds really cool blah blah"). There is tendency to pay too much attention to "cheerleaders" and ignore the silent majority.

Another issue with weird gimmicky features is that often introduce unintended effects and create exploits that generate a lot of ill will and annoyance, not to mention developer effort to clean up the mess.

Rather than spend dev time trying to figure out how to fix complex gimmicky exploits, I recommend focusing on "normal play".

Last we tested, no.
