From the latest SiSi data dump (found via reddit courtesy of sarmatiko) Who cares if it never makes it to TQ, what do you think?

Micro Jump Drive I

Long ramp up time (30 seconds), at end ship is jumped instantly 100 km directly forward. Ship maintains direction and velocity. Ship is affected by warp scramblers and warp disruption fields.

Note: Battleship class module

Mid slot
Activation cost 946 cap
77 CPU
1375 Powergrid
30 sec activation
120 sec until reactivation
Increases signature radius by 500% while spinning up

So yea its about as hard to fit as a 100mn T2 MWD, not something you slap onto a tier3 BC easily.

It comes with its own skill which seems to lower the duration before jumping by 5% which would make its activation 22,5 sec at skill V.


There is also a new large anchorable bubble that prevents micro jump drives.

I would like to take a moment and thank CCP for introducing Tier 3 Battlecruisers.

You did a good job bring back 100 + km Sniper Fleets.

Meh.

Not by the looks of it.

The guy who posted the info was the same guy who posted the Assault Frig and Hybrid Balance changes.

Here it is.

Some other cool stuff in there.

Sounds like the beginning of fps style "bunny-hopping" in Eve. Or extreme kiting.

The module sounds gimmicky as hell. On one hand, as a Gallente pilot, I kinda like the sound of it on paper. Being able to hop 100km on a Mega would be neat. But 23-30 sec ramp up time? Hmmm...

And drone bounties? It's about darn time.

Not digging Scourge name change. What was wrong with Trauma?

I really hope this has an obvious animation and locks your ship's direction...

Someone has been playing as a vanguard in Mass effect too much. This doesn't seem practical.

It might have to do with the way the thread is named. When I first saw it I was expecting another noob "add this module!" thread.

I'm mighty curious what problem they're trying to solve with directed teleport like this. I'm pretty strongly -1 to it without a really solid explanation.

its to help blaster bs fleets... as oxymoronic as a blaster bs fleet sounds having this mod will make blaster bs fleets a viable option...

same for rail fleets... close range bs fleets drops on you turn on mod presto 100km away and start targeting again...

this could make things interesting and help take the sting out of t3 bc's...

The spoolup time is longer than the time it takes to probe you out at your sniping position.

indeed lets hope for a skill being added that can reduce the spool up time to 15 seconds with lev V
