(1): Replaces Micro-Warp Drives?
Afterburners get loved again! Big smile

(2): Do you really want this?
Actually, I'm not so sure... What?

General understanding and appreciation thread.



(SUGGESTIVES)

How exactly could it work?
They could work to simply jump to adjacent solarsystems only avoiding Stargate campers.
May be a module using charges similar to Capacitor Boosters (limited use until Station refill).
May be a module using charges similar to Capacitor Boosters (limited use until Cargo refill).

and Could this completely replace Stargates?
No. Stargates would be the interstellar 'mini-cynosural' beacon of which Jumping may have always locked-on.
No. Stargates support those without Micro-Jump Drive fitting.

It's function could be applied to Micro-Warp Drives!
Overhauling modules in the future, you said? Have the current idea of Micro-Jump Drive's function applied to current Micro-Warp Drives, and then introduce 'Micro-Jump Drives' as a completely new thing!
Bring Afterburners back! Lol

Who could it be for?
Tactical advantage for Attack/Combat shipline.
New Tactical advantage for interceptor and clandestine specializations.
Security advantage for Small & Medium Industrial shipline.

No. Or only for Blackops battleship. That would be kinda cool.

read the DB dump, its spools up, and makes you jump a fixed distance forward.

Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom.

I dislike the fact that another module is required to do similar to ordinary Jumping.

I'd rather the current Jump systems be altered to support short-distance Solarsystem 'Micro-Jumps' like this as well as World Map Jumps. Because why the hell not?Roll Why add more stuff all the freaking time? God damn...

I'm waiting for the days... when cap pilots demand this be nerfed and the sub cap community goes ape with outrage.

"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."
^this^

This module will not allow you to jump to other systems, or even off of grid for that matter. I think this is one of the things they are trying out to attempt to fix the problems with blasters.

I think it also might be to help with sniper fleets (enemy scout warps to you, everyone warp 100km away again.

Actually, I think this makes things worse for snipers. People can already warp-to at 100km+.

CCP, if you decide to make this a module, can you also completely get rid of on-grid jumping? Or at least make it 250km+ for regular warp?

Actually, from what I've heard.... they are removing the MWD and replacing it with this.

I hope that they do remove the MWD and replace it with this. Although, really, why the name change? Microwarp drive ... you know ... for micro warps. It should never have been an overgrown afterburner in the first place.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

I suppose its to differentiate it from the MWD, to reduce confusion for new players?

Going by what Soundwave said in the EVE keynote, the MJD will not replace the MWD, rather it be a new option to mix things up a bit.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.
