Long ramp up time, 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.

Blink

Instant 15 sec cooldown
Teleports the caster 20 yards forward, unless something is in the way.


(also probably gets a bonus from glyph of republic fleet)

I remember when this was suggested on the old forums and i though it would be cool... But having a fixed micro-jump range of 100 km doesn't sound that great. It will only be used for escape and sniper re-positioning.

They should add scripts so you can change the micro jump rangeAttention

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

It lists the micro jump disruptors to prevent it...

But I still find much comedy in picturing two fleets micro jumping over and over each other like leap frogs for a few hours as one tries to range and the other just keeps jumping away as they land.

I'd just love to fit it to my blaster mega and Micro jump to a target 50km away for some serious face melting Twisted

Watch as Oracles become the most overpowered ship in existence. Nanofags? Ha! They had nothing on Oraskips. Useful damage projection from 50 to 150km, and before you can get a warpable hit on them, they've skipped somewhere else shooting you from where your interceptors can't hope to reach them in time.

(Skip drive because they jump in much smaller hops, kinda like the stutterwarp drive in 2300 AD)

People... you forgot this sentence:

Quote:

Note: Battleship class module


So... it will be very hard to fit it on BC if not impossible.

Is this a real dump, or mineral market manipulation fake?

Er... so 30s from activation until jump? "Hey there Mr Sniper Fleet, please sit still for 30s whilst I activate my MJD"....?

Also, what the hell point is there creating this in game and then a large deployable counter that everyone can easily use? Why not just get a 100km warp-in (get a cloaky ship 150 away in line with the target and "warp to 50") for your battleship fleet instead of having to warp "exactly 100km" and wait 30seconds to even do that?

The potential for the idea is interesting but under it's current (yeah yeah pre-beta I know) stats it looks too dumb and fiddly to use.

Edit: What might work...

1) Activate MJD
2) Wait some time for warp up / activation cycle then...
3) At end of activation cycle you get a new in-space right-click menu "Jump Drive"
4) Right click in space "Jump Drive > Jump 50km, 75km, 100km, 125km, 150km, 200km, 250km"

Would allow fleet command to order activation of the module and then allow for fleet to align if/when ready and call for a specific jump range.

So after the cycle ends you can save the micro jump for a later use? I like that idea but while the MJ is active/stored, the ship should have the 500% sig bloom.

I hope that this is connected to removing on grid warp to anything that's over 150km and removing on grid probing (warp to probe). I hope that in this expansion they will remove hard cap of 250km lock range.
This all will make snipers useful again.
And if my ship can target over 250km, why the hell not let it do that.

Please CCP... listen to my prayers.

here's to micro jumping on top of aligning jump freighters outside lowsec stations and bumping them 50km
