Whats stopping you from putting one in front of an acceleration gate and coming back with a bigger gang/better ships?
Oh right nothing, your stupid. [Assuming they are placeable within deadspace which I personally hope so].

Dear CCP,

TL'DR

Please fix your ******* Pos and SOV mechanics instead of putting out this childish and plain ******** bullshit.

and for the mercy of god...
stop adding crap that allows people to permantly run away.
I.e. mobile depots for instant warp core fit and now this ******* anti scan/MJD thing.

Too many cloaks.
Too much bubble immunity.

stop that.

This MSI is a idiotic idea..
Will just see more hiding and less fighting, please restrict its use in lowsec and make it for high sec or null only.. This will only hurt lowsec as a whole both for faction warefare and piracy!!!

It's a freaking PvP area a for god sake!!!!!

Oh no. You can't simply run around in a Cynabal, Cerberus, or Talos and win every fight, and run from the ones you can't. Brawling ships no longer totally suck.

The horror.

This is massively broken if the radius is bigger than 15km (30km diameter), and the build cost needs to be that of like a t2 medium bubble or a t1 large bubble.

With a 30km radius you can hide capfleets and super fleets.

Local spikes massively. You scan down inhibitor. You now know exactly where they are. This is not rocket science.

Mobile Micro Jump Unit

This baby does pretty much exactly what the name implies. When active, any player within range can use it to launch their ship 100km in the direction that the ship is travelling when it makes use of the structure. It has no cooldown or limit to how many ships can use it at once, but it does have a spoolup time just like the MJD module. This spoolup duration is not modified by skills and on the base structure it is 12s (just like the MJD module would be if you could use it without skills).

The actual Micro Jump effect works exactly the same as the effect from the module. So during the cycle you go full throttle in one direction with a sig radius penalty, it can't be cancelled, scrams prevent you from jumping, it preserves speed on landing, all that jazz. You only have to be within range of the structure at the start of the micro jump cycle, not at the end. If the structure is destroyed during your spoolup time, you do not get launched. Since the MJU has no cooldown, a player can start the jump cycle from a Micro Jump module or MJU immediately after finishing a previous jump facilitated by a different MJU.

There will be mass restrictions to prevent caps and supercaps from using it, but everything else is fair game. We are currently planning to set the mass restrictions such that freighters can use it but anything larger is blocked. Like I mentioned above, it is usable by everyone and is not restricted to the owner or their corp/fleet. This means you can feel free to use it to try and escape, but your assailant is also free to use it to follow you.

Like the Cynosaural Inhibitor and the Siphon Unit, the MJU is a single use structure. Once dropped it can never be scooped and will stay in space until it either gets blown up or finishes its lifetime.

Right now we have the base version set to 20s module activation time, 48hr lifetime, 25k ehp (mostly structure), 50m3 volume and a build cost of about 1m isk.
Micro Jump spoolup is 12s like an unskilled MJD.
Current activation range is 2500m but we're already leaning towards expanding that.
It can't be placed within 20km of gates or stations, within 40km of a starbase tower or within 6km of another MJU.

Please note that the version on SISI at the time of this post has a few known defects, including the lack of a visual model in space and the lack of a working mass restriction.

As someone who loves solo PVP, this thing is going to be a kick in the teeth. Again.

20 seconds to go through 25k EHP is 1,250 DPS. So unless you have a scrambler or capable of applying 1,250 DPS to this thing, or are capable of killing them within 32 seconds, you're not going to kill a ratter. ANY ratter. And they don't even need to take up a mid slot to do it!

Seriously, what the hell!? This is a horrible idea, and just makes hunting and killing people harder than it's ever been. To the point of lunacy.

One of the common themes I'm seeing in this thread is about how bad this is going to be for w-space. I would like to reiterate the factoid that wormhole space, since its inception, was intended to be completely unscripted; the devs simply created it, and left it open to the players without any themes or instructions for how to do it. So it makes it harder to find pve cap fleets in them? Good! That means there's more ways for people to not only secure their home turf, just as it should be; the current system of pvp in w-space needs more ways for players to defend themselves, since it literally is the last frontier in this game; the more tools to defend your homestead, the better.
.

People are already leaving wormholes for the lack of pew-pew, many systems taken by carebearing alts who care of nothing but farm. They don't give a damn about "defending", what they need is TIME to escape the site when a new sig pops-up. And this is exactly what this module gives.


What about places it does not exist?


So many people posting these ideas are idiotic. Guess will they hear us? I doubt.

yes, as i said. CCp game designers need to play more on several types of activities, because they are clearly overlookign several play styles.

Or maybe they really want people to fly with scrams...

And no, following them using their own deployable won't work, as if they're aligned out just before they jumped, they're aligned out after they jump, and they can just warp off.

What happens if someone deploys a drag bubble inside the D-Scan inhibitor? Will it drag people warping to the inhibitor into the bubble? If so, it seems the only way to get "eyes on grid" without ending up inside the bubble and whatever camp is set up there is with an inty or nullified T3. This seems excessively limiting to me. Or have I missed something?

In its current form, MMJD will propel even a sieged Dread. Knowing Fozzie, I can't say if that's a bug or he's just trolling us

Also, just like salvage drones and depots, both new structures aren't showing on the default "All" overview profile.

oO

One of my guys just tested MSI. This thing can be ECCMed! As a result a t2 fitted cov-op, not-perfect skills, no implants, got a 82.3% signal at 0.5 AU probe radius. Needed manual probe-moving to scan it down.

Have fun seeking for capitals under it!

If you add the MSI to the previous CCP statement regarding tackling the local channel and how it's very powerful tool for Intel, so most likely they will remove it or drastically change it as result you will be converting the whole K-space to big giant W space filled with booby traps called MSI.

Anyway I'm ok with these new features, it opens more ways and methods to play the game, only nullsec alliances and grievers are shedding tears over these.

About "Mobile Scan Inhibitor" i see this coming:

A large group of carebear in their system gonna just put as much as possible MSI in their system (Belt, Random safe in space) to discourage pirate from search them you gonna just help those who make pve all the time and reduce the interaction beetween player even more.

The ONLY way to prevent sutch behaviour is to make the MSI expensive enough (50M / 150M)
