Eh, Over-nerfed IMO. Some Thoughts:
Mobile Micro Jump Unit
We're cutting the EHP of the structure by 80%, to 5000hp. ~Fine.
We're increasing the time that the MJU takes to activate to 1 minute. ~Bit much, maybe 30-45 seconds?
We're increasing the range at which the MJU can be used to 5000m. ~Fine.
We're increasing the minimum range from other MJU structures to 10km. ~Fine.
We're disabling the ability to jump while cloaked. ~Fine.
Mobile Scan Inhibitor
Ships inside the area of a MSI's effect will have their own directional scanner and probe results disabled.~Excellent
We're adding a minimum distance of 75km from wormholes. ~Fine.
We're reducing the sensor strength of the structure to 5 and increasing the signature radius to 500. Go ahead and apply as many projected ECCM to that as you want. ~Fine.
We're increasing the build cost to ~15m isk. ~Nope.
We're decreasing the structure's lifetime in space to 1 hour. ~Nope.
Minimum distance to another MSI is now 100km. ~Fine.
We're increasing the volume of the structure to 100m3. ~Woah. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Let's look at the MSI. Why would anyone ever bother with a 15 mil, 100m3 structure that only lasts 1 hour? Will never be used by anyone on a regular basis. Reduce those 3 values to their previous iteration.
Just my 2 isk. |

In its current iteration, no one will bother using the MSI. At 100m3 per hour, I need an industrial alt to tag along with me to use the damn thing. That's just dumb.
If the goal of the change is to make it unusable for general applications, why bother releasing it in the first place? Scrap the concept and re-use the art assets for something else. |

Any guy with a 10+ bil capital fleet farming wormholes will do so that, unless he is 1. lazy 2. stupid.
Your drones/fighters will show up on dscan, mate. Also wrecks, lots of wrecks. Combine with how easy the MSI is to scan down with its 500m sig and 5 sensor strength, yeah good luck with that. |
