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...


No, you're describing a gap closer mechanic. What they're suggesting implementing is a directional teleport.

This is directional teleporting mechanics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfakcKow_HE
This is gap closers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdK3Mdl4b2I

The difference should be pretty obvious: one is intended to get someone into the thick of combat while the other isn't.

Micro Jump Drive technology has already been used for decades in toilets all around the EVE galaxy.
Except in the Amarr empire where they use lazors for waste incineration.

This.

This micro-jump thingy just doesn't seem necessary, IMHO.

I do like that (if I'm reading this correctly) that they're going to rename kinetic missiles "Scourge" again, though.

Apropos nothing else whatsoever, where is the titan tracking nerf?

And, to shut the clueless screeching howler-monkeys up but good, how 'bout that 10% boost to base velocity and 15% reduction in the Drake's signature-radiusBlink

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

Another problem I forsee is that in other games normally you could rotate your character easily and quickly to set the direction to which you want to teleport. In EvE you have align times, which is considerably high for BS where this new MJD would br used. It defnitely wont act as a 'gap closer' if the propaed stats remain

Micro-Jump Drive + Cloak trick? Set a direction, activate Micro Warp Drive, activate Cloak, wait 30s, profit?

Also, will missiles and drones remain active? i.e. is this a true warp, or a teleport-esque feature?

I find it interesting that people take issue with the missile ammo rename/streamlining. Hybrid, Laser and Projectile ammo have the same name; doesn't matter the size of the ammo or whether it's for close range or sniping weapons*. So, maybe CCP should come up with new names for the different types, to keep it the same across the board?

* = Tech 2 ammo being the exception

The spool-up time is 30 seconds. The skill reduces this by 1.5s per level.

oh hey, lets knock off one of the last true "newbie in a frig" niches in fleet fights: getting backstop warpins on people. because we all know, frigs (and smaller ships in general) just aren't irrelevant enough!

If it is the weight of the hull for the amount of time required for the Micro Jump Drive to activate i think its more valid.

Can Micro Jump Drive can jump out of bubbles from dictors and hictors?
And probably standard anchorable bubbles..
If it can it is a HUGE game changer.
People gonna stick these on freighters and escape gate camps etc.

A flat 100km jump range would make this useless from the point of view of trying to get blaster ships into a fight. For that you'd have to allow the selection of a range up to the 100km (or whatever range they stick it with).

And freighters don't get to fit mods. Ugh

I suspect Freighter pilots would /love/ a freighter they could stick anything on.

After all, freighters have no slots.

Woo! CSM XI!

Nothing has been confirmed but the guy who posted the info has been the one who posted the new T2 Mods, new Battlecruisers, Hybrid Rebalance and Assault Frigate Balance and those have all been accurate.

So this is pretty likely. Though this is still a test build so we don't know if any of this gets into the game and if it does we don't know how the changes will altered based on testing or feedback.

Cheers Alara!

Interesting idea for sure!

Brutix could have it's 99% gang link CPU reduction swapped to 99% powergrid reduction of Micro Jump Drive I (and rep amount bonus changed 5% resist per level)

Hey how will it change Capitals Warfare?
Dreads/Carriers/Supercarriers/Titans will be able to jump out of bubbles...
