Also before introducing the Mobile Scan Inhibitor can combat probe results be fixed so as not to round to the nearest 64? Because that's really dumb.

I'm concerned that this d-scan unit thingy will make people ratting in null-sec systems further uncatchable. You will know that there is a unit there, but no way to know if it is worth warping to (is it a drake or is it a nidhoggur?) and they'll still have the advantage of local and start spooling up warp the second you come into system.
In the wormhole side of things, it could make for interesting engagements, but it's not going to protect PVE fleets a great deal, because they're going to disengage when they see a wormhole pop if they're smart, and if they're doing cap escalations they're in a siege cycle anyways, and we're going to see their kills on wormnav and just start checking where the mobile d-scan inhibitor is at.
It's an interesting concept for PVP, but I'm concerned about the PVE protection factor that takes out a lot of the gankability in null.

Given that the mjd won't allow you to jump into an enemy pos (also now somewhat of an exploit to use warp mechanics to do so as well) I'd say no. But would be hilarious otherwise.

Sure, and not having any clue about enemy fleet composition and location will encourage people to happly engage :)
We all know is not the way things work in EVE. Those things are like portable gate camps. Now, in my experience, if you think there's a gatecamp waiting on the other side you don't gather a random gang and jump to engage. If you are alone you simply care to have a ship able to evade the camp or simply don't jump.
If you're in fleet too you send a suicide scout in and then you see, if enemy numbers and fleet composition are ok for you then you bring the fleet in. Otherwise you give up (and goodbye scout).
Your example only apply (as a remote chance) to WH, that's just where such a change is not needed.
The fact that in any other situation in EVE doesn't work simply prove that is pointless without a nerf to local and the side already holding the ground, the defender, is the one having the time/chance to deploy this modules
Aside any theorycraft we know MSI will be used only to conceal PVE activities and blobbing gatecamps. And in general adding time sinks and deadlocks to the gameplay |

MSI really should disable drag bubble effects within its radius, since in its current form it still is a big nerf to scan ships other than a nullified T3. |

Mobile jump whatsit changes are good. Possibly too little EHP to be of any use whatsoever but let's see. Better to start cautiously than ruin a ship type completely (yes, even kite-scrub Condors).
Mobile scan whatsit is just a gift to FW farmers. They need to be kept away from the beacon in FW plexes. The main thing they will accomplish in their current iteration (in FW space) is to decrease the number of fights.

Well then, go ahead.
Me too man. I'm actually really sad  . As a solo player who doesn't have time for a large corp, I was going to get a heck of a lot of use for this mining outside high sec, and especially in wormholes. Currently, the rewards of mining outside high sec are nowhere worth the risk and costs and repetitive stress syndrome from having to mash d-scan every second as your only defense. We could have had a defensive tool that provided more opportunities for you solo pirates, but the status quo, "aggressor advantage", couldn't let that happen. Way to go 
If you were looking at this tool to provide a way for you to mine in safety in either low sec, 0.0 or w-space you would have been sadly disappointed regardless of the ongoing alterations to the scan inhibitor. As a wormholer, let me be the first to tell you "anyone can easily learn who's mining in an ore anomaly." It is trivially easy. You have no one to thank for that other than CCP, Odyssey and the move of Grav/Ore sites from scanned signatures to insta-warp anoms. This has literally ZERO bearing on the MSI.
And this explains a lot but...
Furthermore, solo mining in hostile territory is foolishness regardless of what setup you use. Bring a friend or three.
With all that out of the way, for someone who is obviously too "timid" to use their actual pilot (you don't truly believe that anyone thinks you're just a very impassioned but new pilot, right?) your request to everyone to "HTFU" would be almost endearing if it weren't patently obvious trolling from a frightened 'bear.'
So without further ado, you can rest safe in the knowledge that you're the second to be added to the "My word that person is too dense to bother with list" (better known as ignore). Feel free to play with Dinsdale's tinfoil collection.

You don't read Eve-O very much then as that was positively tame compared to the overwhelming majority of comments on this forum and others. Given the ridiculous level of redundant and pointless sperg in this thread by some in the "sky is falling" or "HTFU" camps I'd say it was pretty unnoticeable.
But my apologies if i've bruised your overly sensitive sensibilities; though you might refrain from whiting knighting untenable positions in the future given the above.

yes so if ure scrammed you wont mj 100km out but everyone on grid who isn't scrammed will?
basically what im saying is does this thing make everyone within range mj so scenario
so scenario your pveing with one of these on grid next to you ure ganked enemy fleet lands on you and u get scrammed youre screwd basically so u activate the mmjd and everyone within range mj away in there direction? or is it only the person who activates it does if able to?
cos taking my first scenario into account u get scrammed ure only person who is scrammed u activate the mmjd everyone within range of it gets bounced 100km away except you cos u were scrammed giving you time to gtfo?
that's what im trying to get at |

No no.. You do nto move anyoen else. Nothign in eve has that type of effect. You always activate things for your OWN ship only.

ROXGenghis wrote:Here's my concern with the Mobile Scan Inhibitor (MSI). Won't it require roamers to bring a prober and an interdiction nullified ship wherever they go to (1) find and then (2) investigate every MSI? How does it help to force solo'ers and small gangers to bring these extra ships along wherever they go? I don't see how the tweaks you just announced help with the fundamental issue. How about making the MSI's into beacons to at least eliminate the need to bring probes wherever you go?
And here's the fundamental issue. The biggest obstacle to fun small-scale fights in Eve is ganks made possible by hiding a fleet's true strength. There are already a lot of ways to spring a trap on someone looking for a gf, do we really need another one? It seems the MSI will help people avoid fights entirely or help them set up ganks, neither of which are good for "fun" PVP.
Put yet another way, what are the envisioned applications of the MSI? To help PVE'ers avoid getting ganked? To help gankers hide until they can safely drop on someone? Or is there potentially a use that will help set up fairer fights?
Any mechanic which forces solo-ers to use and multibox yet more alts is just bad, and needs to die in a fire. Seems like it's "Greed is good" all over again.
I am seriously questioning whether to carry on with this game is this is the direction it's going in.
Pointless gimmicky spammable structures that completely overide actually training skills and fitting modules to ships.
OP modules that discourage PvP and give bears even more safety.
What's next? Deployable turrets and missile launchers? Deployable Concord?
Don't Panic.

I kind of feel the same. This gimmicky additions get old after the first couple of weeks because they are implemented wrong.
I say scrap the MSI and introduce a local inhibitor (hides from local) instead because after all, we already have cloaks to hide us from D-scan.

Sssst, don't give them ideas...
The "cloacking bubble to use in belts" is an idea taken from one of these forums.
And in the same forums were also proposed things like "deployable turrets" and "upgrades indexes in sov null NPC alliance navy"

Regarding the mobile scanning thing. I don't like it. It's imbalanced for the people inside it simply because they can have an alt sat outside using thier scanner while they have thier main ships inside. However someone roaming around/looking for them can't have thier alt sat inside it in the same way.
Further kills skirmish roaming style pvp. It's a fun idea in theory but in practice it's just gonna be extremely lame. |

400 km away from what? Any enemy will be shortly behind you. And why all the prejudice against capital ships? The current theme seems to be anti-caps and anti-sentries. Why? Why should a battleship without a jump drive be able to micro jump but a capital with a jump drive be unable to micro jump? Why would anyone want to have an MMJD chain where the enemy has access to it as well? Why are we allowing the enemy to use MMJD while not allowing the enemy to use the mobile depot? None of this makes any sense or improves the sandbox; why do we have to be told that these things improve Eve when they don't? Saying things will be richer doesn't make it so, and certainly doesn't remove all of these issues.
