No, it's fine as is. You won't be able to blast T1 frigs in a linked and snaked rlml Cerberus anymore, but brawling is viable again.

Adapt or die and all that

Mobile scan inhibitor should disable dscan or probe scanning for anyone inside of it.

You give away too much in w-space by dropping one of these in the first place for PvP... but this will make PVE extremely safe. Has this been factored into the thinking?

The MMJD is alright I guess. Needs closer inspection. At first I thought it was a "get away free" tool for fleets but with the restrictions that you can't anchor two within 6 km, and it can't be used more than once every 20s renders that somewhat less overpowered.

The MMJD unit really, really needs to be suppressed by any and all forms of warp interdiction. Local bubbles, anchored bubbles, long points, scrams, infinite points - presently only two of these suppress the MMJD and all five should.

It's actually only one of out of five, the only way to prevent an MJD activation is a scram.

Or infinite point, right? Which is of course a bit of overkill but might happen from time to time.

Or am I wrong on that one?

In terms of catching ratters, the MSI replaces a skill based mechanic (being good at scanning quickly) with a luck based mechanic (pick a random anom, and warp to it).


MSI spam could be fixed by reducing the duration of the module to something quite low, like 10 or 15 minutes.

If the fleet isn't densely packed, they can still extract a lot of ships with these.

Think in a 25 v 22 fight, where the 25 decide they are losing and want to extract. Presently, they order MJD ships to evacuate to sniper range and shoot at both anchored bubbles and ships with local bubbles, then they try to warp, and they lose 7 or 8 stragglers that get pointed or scrammed as well as the 7 or 8 ships that get popped while they are shooting bubbles and/or dictors, so perhaps 10 ships escape.

In the MMJD era, the 25 all drop MMJDs. 18 actually start anchoring (the others are too close), 13 MMJDUs actually anchor and 5 get popped while anchoring. Then those ships with local MJDs use those, then the remaining ships all use an MMJD if they can. Chances are you get a good 16 to 18 of your fleet out alive, a big increase on 10 in the first example.

I agree with your point that the MMJD should need more means of preventing its usage, but keep in mind again there is the fact that you have 12 second spool up for the MMJD, 8 seconds more until someone else can use it, and another 12 second spool up for that second person.

So assuming everyone activates as soon as they possibly can, that's 12 seconds it takes to jump for the first person on that MMJD, and 20 more seconds for the next person, 20 more for the next, etc.

Gudpoast.

If you're going to post, make it quality. Explain your opinions. "Terrible" is not constructive, and is not at all helpful to making them not "terrible"

Thank you, do not come again.

If a shiny new thing is far enough along in development to get an F&ID thread they will never ever scrap it so I look forward to having these new deployables forced on us with few (if any) changes.

With 2-3x the anchoring time and 10-20% the hp, the MMJD thing would be pretty balanced.

Seriously?

What a waste of dev resources.

I cant see the point in either of these modules.

I'm sure I have never seen the community clamouring for these ...ever.

pointless waste.

It clearly states in the OP that there is no limit on how many people can use it at once and no cooldown, so I'm not sure where you're getting this 20 second thing from.

Scramming the MMJD itself should block it from being used, that's my genius idea.

It is a game designer's job to be visionary.
