Keep an exit cyno ready to light when you're in lowsec. Someone does this to you, you light immediately and bounce. And that, btw, is also only applicable if the 'doesn't affect invulnerable ships' isn't in effect - because you've got those seconds when you come out of warp when you can't be targeted yet, because the system hasn't changed your state. Make sure you spam 'jump' when you're coming in, and you should be ok.

The real question is: these things don't need to target. If I'm 5km away from one of these things when it goes off, and I've already heard 'warp drive active', will I warp from the new location? If it works like a normal MJD, the code-side effect seems to be purely 'changing location to these coordinates in space' - speed, targeting, module cycling, none of it changes. Normal MJDs, though, can't be activated on a ship entering warp, and prevent you from initiating warp if it's cycling up. Will this prevent warps, or just bounce the start point by 100km? (assuming the endpoint wouldn't move 100km in the same direction.)

If a fleet of 100 of these all activate MJFG at the same time, will they jump 10,000km away? Will it crash the server?

I think it's worth considering forcing them to restart the MJFG after being jumped, that way it gives snipers a brief chance to take them out before they get away.

I'm imagining a scenario in which a destroyer fleet is brawling with an Apocalypse/Bhaalgorn fleet. The destroyers are slowly losing ships due to the Bhaalgorn's neuts and webs allowing Apocalypses to hit with gleam ammo. Their fleet is bubbled so they have one of their command destroyers activate the MJFG to get out of the bubble so they can warp away. As soon as the MJFG goes active, the battleship FC tells all apocalypse pilots to activate sensor boosters and switch to aurora ammo. Soon as the destroyers land they're still targeted by the apocalypses, who fire and take out half the remaining destroyer fleet in seconds before they manage to warp off.

You aren't invulnerable in warp, since you can be smart bombed once you are on grid.
So the above posters concern is actually serious for slower ships, since it takes you a long time to exit warp.

The marauder and cyno are really bad. Hopefully bugs.

Interesting that in this case the orca/JF[/quote]
When he said "jump freighters" he was talking about freighters (not jump freighters) being jumped by the MJFG.

It's probably the same for regular freighters and jump freighters.

Actually they work fine with 2 links. Of course their tank is inexistent but for a cheap OOG they work very well specially if you use them in a specific system like in FW.

2 links fits without any fitting mods. a fitting mod will let you fit tank(to some degree). the trick will be to get 3 links on this.


its just a cheap throw away booster that if lost doesn't remove sp. push more people to always have there favourite links

I really hope they fix these things.

Price is not a balancing factor.

In addition to that T3 being able to be nullified and warp cloaked. Not to mention actually having enough CPU to run more than two links ;) Or be able to run up to 5 links and still be nullified, able to warp cloaked or be bridged by blops and in some cases still a bit more agile with any kind of viable setup.

I have not looked at the numbers but considering their CPU levels I have some serious doubts if it will be really viable to run 3+ links on these. I mean for 3 links you will need at minimum 2 command processors which would set you back 300 CPU (150 CPU per command processor) to start with and then you would have to find 55 CPU per link for 3 links. And these bad boys kinda start off with ~230 CPU or so.

So my gut feeling is that one is sort of limited to about two links at best unless we are starting to talk about officer co-pros here and even then I'm not 100% convinced one can do it because of stacking penalties.

Using it to jump a cyno offensively sounds like it could be powerful, atlhough I don't think it is particularly broken considering it is difficult to stop a cyno anyway, but it shouldn't jump the ship and leave the cyno behind.

The bastion module on the other hand has EWAR immunity and so it should definitely be immune or else marauders effectively become useless.
