Microjump cycle time is 10 seconds, once you activate it your ship will jump 100km forward.

After jump you will heading the same direction and speed you were before activating the module.

Module activation timer is 3 minutes, keep that in mind when moving between mission rooms.

activating the MJD causes your ship to begin accelerating while waiting for it to go off.

I usually pick a direction and start moving the ship in that direction, once I hit 3/4 of my max speed, I activate the LMJD.

Way to not answer the question...

To answer the OP's actual question, activating the MJD causes your ship to begin accelerating while waiting for it to go off.

Not correct. Activating MJD freezes the speed control, i.e. you cannot change the *setting* of the speed and the ship will keep to accelerate or decelerate towards it during the spool-up. The same way you cannot change vector target while in this phase.

so to summarize. If your standing still the ship will start to accelerate

it takes 10 seconds to Microjump no matter what your align time is

Actually hes quite right, if you activate your MJD while sitting still your ship will begin accelerating.

so if I want the ship to basically have no acceleration during the spool up i would

1) accelerate for a split second then hit stop. This will save that speed
2) start mjd and ship will accelerate to speed 1) ?

Also I read that you can lock onto a target before Microjumping and it will maintain the lock. Can I start the lock process, jump and finish the locking process after landing the jump? Or does warping interrupt the locking process so after I finish the jump Ill have to start relocking all over again?

This would matter for when lock time is longer than the spool up time of 10s

- If there is set zero speed, ship sets a speed which has been used last time before stop command and again, this setting is frozen. I guess CCP wanted to avoid some division by zero case when calculating jump vector.

You don't have to be at 3/4 full speed, you are not warping, start moving and once your ship is pointing the direction you want to jump hit the button.

Huh. Hadn't thought about that but it makes total sense in the context of how Eve handles ships in space (which is to say, as vectors in the first place). A null vector wouldn't give any information about where to jump, now would it?

The 3/4 max speed is necessary, for me, because that is when the ship points in the direction I want.

I have made jumps when my ship was at lower speed and I arrived where I did not want to be. So now I make sure that my ship points where I want it to point, and this condition is reached when the speed is at 3/4 of max.
