Hell all you really need is a few newbros in scram frigs to keep his mjfg off and if you lack numbers a single hic can stop 3-5 on its own from nearly 40km
But any half decent pilot will be able to keep out of the range of a hostile mjfg

I scrolled through half a dozen threads, question may have been asked already but I couldn't find an answer;
Will the MJD AOE also affect ships that have an active/open cyno field? Or will ships with cynos lit be invulnerable to it?
Edit. Follow up question;
If the MJD AOE does affect a ship that has an active/open cyno, will the ship and only the ship be affected, I.E does the ship get jumped 100km and the cyno is left behind? Like when you bump a ship that has an active cyno the cyno stays in place and the ship moves?.
Looking forward to panicking at the site of these on grid, and also looking forward to causing trouble to opponents with them!

No... you'd just MJFD half the enemy fleet out of the arena for insta-kills. Would not be valid for tournaments. |

You literally just spelled out the problem. There's almost no other ship in EVE whose singular presence demands potentially changing the entire focus or comp of your (based on your post) frig-through-BS-sized fleet.
A single HIC warping on top of your fleet can be disastrous, but it's not something you bring along an entire dedicated set of anti-hic ship groups for. Why? Because a 400m+ ISK sacrifice isn't worth it to lock down a fleet below a certain size and value, AND because a HIC in a fleet fight is usually a sacrifice play. This is a much smaller investment being a destroyer, but it's offering the same potential disruption.
tl;dr Risk is much lower -> Reward is the same -> Thus, unbalanced. |

Do semi-capital ships get moved? (Freighter, Orca, etc)
Was asked alongg w/a billion similar requests. Capitals do NOT get jumped per the updated OP. Period.
If a Ship is listed under the Capital Skills book -- look in required for, then this Module should/WILL not work.

Even better actually. Faster lock time and decent tracking means ripping through it quickly is definitely an option. And having logistics sit on the hole as a safeguard could be an issue (especially if you send one on both sides).
Which reminds me, does the MJDG have the same rules surrounding cloak activation as the MJD? |

Can get 34.8k with a stork on a first pass, before links and implants. Siege links take it to 49k.
Not quite as impressive on the armor ones, 24k on a ponti at a first quick stab but that stork, 33k on a 90 sig? Ouch (MJGF bloom tbc) |

Why are we getting a new "Command Destroyers" skill when there is already a Command Ships skill in the game? Can't you just make the new destroyers use that skill since technically Destroyers = Ships? |

That's why.

Then they should probably rename the Command Ships skill to something like Command Battlecruisers to keep with the naming convention. |

If you have any questions or need clarifications please ask, and don't be surprised if there's a typo here and there that needs fixing :)
Thanks !
Why don't you give a PG and a CPU reduction role bonus?
Without a CPU reduction it is too hard to get a good, fully fit ship that utilises links, so you may as well stick to using a command ship and off-grid links (for as long as that's around).
If your mind, is it better that a ship can only fill one of the two roles it has been designed for?
The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Hmm, I dont like this "feature" either:
- without a dedicated tackler, thats there only focused on catching !possible! Command destroyer, nobody is gonna lock it in 4 seconds (1second is wasted on server tick btw..)
- everything not already running MWD (apart from some frigs) cannot get out of 6km radius in 5 seconds. To accelerate to 1km/s you need 3-4 seconds on a speed fitted cruiser. Then you have to travel for another 3.5km in one second.
- ship is boring outside of this new module usage, total garbage. Doesnt add anything that other ships wouldnt do better and have some other role in fleet at the same time. Stupid bonuses add to this even more: who is gonna launch drones if his only point is to warp 100km away?
- Nerf to drone ships maybe? All the rattlers gonna loose shitton of drones suddenly (mainly sentry drones). Hello smartbombing, insta warping BSs..
- If anything, this kind of feature should be tied up to a battlecruiser or BS.
But CCP already did it, no point in pointing out stupid things they do while there is plenty of others that needs fixing. Its their game afterall.
One question tho: if you fit three WCS, does that negate scram? |

To your Question -> No, you're allowed to warp, but your mwd stays blocked.
I hope CCP changes it to only drag fleetmembers, otherwise NOT balanced and yes I do LOVE to abuse it. |

So I was messing about with the Pontifex on Singularity earlier. Sicced the drones on something and MJFGed myself away. Drones kept cheerfully murdering it until it died.
Is that supposed to happen? Not sure it's even unique to the MJFG, just never really bothered to play with MJDs before.
