So how many others been wondering why CCP renamed everything just to make a micro JUMP drive that, in no way works like a jump drive...

Jump drives be in space, jump to a CYNO beacon only... boom gone. Needs fuel. Has many JUMP skills...

Micro jump drive, spin up, go direction pointed, no cynos, no fuel.

So ya...

In no way works like a jump drive... called a jump drive...

Isn't it amazing how things that don't exist develop a lives of their own?

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Micro Jump Drives operate on the simple principle that the mass of the target creates a tangible distortion of space/time to which the micro jump drive can lock on to and jump to using a miniaturised version of the jump drive that allows inter-system travel for capital ships.
Other drives can not do this due to the nature of how the warp drives and jump drives operate. This left a hole in tactical warfare, which is now filled up with the invention of the micro jump drive. *


*not the actual backstory. Now shut up and go mine some more roids.

If it looks like a rogue

if it vanishes like a rogue

Then it's probably some sort of rogue?

Rogue Drive I!

Heck, I'd train up battleships and fly fleets of these just to be able to call the fleet doctrine "Rogue Squadron".

they could just name this Blaster Buff Boat Mod.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Witch actually is, for all ships but far greater for those and guess why I'm happy with that? Lol

It's actually more of a Minmatar buff, since you can afford to be more inaccurate with jump range on autocannons (because of falloff). CCP just wants to bring up auto-Tempests as counters to arty-Maelstroms.

PvP is just a game of Winmatar. Discuss.

Welp, it's reasonable to think those will get (huge) benefits from this module, however I'm not concerned by this Minmatar hate, I can fly both Lol

Huh, I was thinking it was more of a snuper nerf, like Oracles (T3s in general) and stuff like Rokhs. Luv2Rokh.

There are no nerfs. There are only Winmatar buffs.

Sorry to be on-topic, but I thought a great name for this module would have been "skip drive" since it operates like the "skip drive" from Traveller 2300. Of course the 2300 skip drive operated at a high frequency in order to produce interplanetary scale FTL, as opposed to this EVE module. So perhaps a "hop drive"?
