I've heard we may have new modules coming.... specifically something named microjumpdrive, which will theoretically warp you 100km forward...wait, what? Will it not jump me somewhere?
We already have microwarpdrives who actually do not "warp" you anywhere (tbh, this was one of the stumbling blocks when climbing the EVE learning cliff a few years back).
Now we are going to have microjumpdrives who do not "jump" you anywhere?
I applaud you standardization efforts, but instead of removing iconic names like Y-T8 you missed the point.
Why not rename microwarpdrives to something else, something that does NOT imply going into warp? Please reconsider what microwarpdrives and microjumpdrive do and the name they should have.
PS: I know, by now microwarpdrive is also iconic, but it presents MORE confusion that the names that were actually changed (like Y-T8 or Cold-gas Arcjet Thrusters).

mircrowarp is just that, it sets up the warp field for more speed, is why sig gets huge.
Microjump leaping you (100km?) away is a jump, direct one point to the next. Makes sense to me. |

If people got up in arms about something a trivial as upgrading the meta naming system, imagine the uproar it would cause if CCP changed the name of an entire class of modules. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. |

The micro jumpdrive sounds a bit weird for me too. Maybe could be better as Micro Acceleration Drive. Similar to the Acceleration gate which slings you about 10,000 km straight line forward. |

Even CCP Soundwave agrees with me that the names are reversed!!
Just go an listen the Ten Ton Hammer interview around the 3:30 mark (CCP Soudwave interview). He acknowledges that the microjumpdrive will warp you as the microwarpdrive say it should bu in reality the later one just accelerates you a bit more than an AB.
Please Soundwave, straighten out the names instead of adding to the learning currve. |

Im more interested in reflecting capacitor batteries and various types of capacitor batteries.

Call it a FLASH drive, as you FLASH from one spot to another spot 100km away.
You will all now think of the Queen soundtrack to Flash Gordon. Please support: export of settings in editable format

ffs.
MWD is fine. It does not bring you up to full warp speed, it's just a huge speed boost. Hence micro.
MJD is fine as well. Are you implying that for a jump to be a jump you must hit a loading screen? You cannot jump from one point to another in the same system and have it be a jump? Interesting. |

I think they should call the spell blink.
