BOUNTIES, KILL RIGHTS, NEW MODULES AND WAR IN RETRIBUTION http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/73578
Quote:For the Micro Jump Drive, we will start by just doing a large version of this module (Large Micro Jump Drive), which only battleship size ships can fit (Battleships, Marauders and Black Ops). So... are there any plans for a Medium Micro Jump Drive? Maybe a smaller cruiser-sized version that jumps 50km? I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks. |

And a frigsized one. 25 km jumps, ~10 sec spool-up, disabled by scams, for a ship with 3 km/s MWD speed.
As far as I can understand, LMJD were made to cope with BS low mobility issue. BCs and cruisers don't have such prominent weakness, so I doubt that we'll ever see non-BS blinkies. |

Although with the new warp mechanics, battlecruisers are not as speedy as they used to be. I think a Medium Micro Jump Drive for at least battlecruisers would definitely make them interesting - as would a small Micro Jump Drive for destroyers and cruisers (they might be altogether too much fun on frigates). I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Ever since bs got hit with the warp speed changes, it's my opinion that they should retain all the distinctiveness they can get over battlecruisers and down, especially where mobility is concerned. |

You do realize that battlecruisers got hit with the warp speed nerf too, yes? (2.5 AU/s isn't much of an improvement over battleships) I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

You realize that there's slightly more to EVE than just warping and that a MJD doesn't help with that anyway?
Battlecruisers are incredibly more maneuverable in combat than a fat slow battleship, with a much smaller sig to boot.
MJDs are just fine being restricted to battleships - it lets them continue having a reason to exist. |

Pretty sure the changes have relegated battleships to the sidelines for anything other than blobs. I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |
