JALUTAK Gallente	Posted - 2008.10.13 21:37:00 - [1] Why wait to have enough skills or isk to buy the right ships that are equipped with jump drive systems.It takes us little guys to dam long. there should be jump systems on all ships im tired of going gate to gate and three or four hours later just to jump 20 gates one way and another 20 to get back!
Last Wolf Umbra Wing	Posted - 2008.10.13 21:39:00 - [2] Could be worse, at least there is Warp to Zero now. __________________________________________________________ Originally by: Liang Nuren wrong forum isroy i am vjery drunm
Derek Sigres	Posted - 2008.10.13 21:53:00 - [3] Originally by: Last Wolf Could be worse, at least there is Warp to Zero now. Most of my pirate losses happened before WTZ was installed. I had greater fear warping to a gate than jumping through - so I'd do things like warp to 75km first to check out the gate, then warp away, then come back at 15km and proceed to make a hard burn for the gate. Then WTZ happened and I realized I could chart courses that didn't force me to go through lowsec most of the time.

How can it possibly take you three to four hours to complete 40 jumps?

How can it possibly take you three to four hours to complete 40 jumps? I dunno, if you autopilot in a freighter it could take that long. It can take them ages to approach a gate (and people think there's a problem with getting suicide ganked NOW - just imagine when it took three minutes or so to slow boat your way to a gate. If you want to autopilot quickly, the best ship for the job is an interceptor. You can do the "weight down the MWD button and walk away" trick. If you don't want to do that you can simply install a few overdrives and walk away. Using WTZ, the bulk of my time in a system is spent aligning or warping. My time spent at a gate is usually measured in a second or two after the warp drive cuts.
InsanlyEvlPerson Gallente Night-Stalkers	Posted - 2008.10.14 01:50:00 - [10] JD on my zealot and abso with no need for cynos to get around hisec faster? yes plz. /end sarcasm sounds nice in theory, eliminates the purpose of black ops and titan jump bridges. --------------------------------------------- I may be a bit over Zealot, but i cant help myself, its the best investment i ever made!
Zeba Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:02:00 - [11] Well if every ship had a jump drive then ice mining would be teh new isk faucet for sure. **** it why not. inappropriate signature. ~WeatherMan
Derek Sigres	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:05:00 - [12] Originally by: Zeba Well if every ship had a jump drive then ice mining would be teh new isk faucet for sure. **** it why not. But dirty miners are the lowest form of life in Eve, existing only to server their harsh PvP masters.
SickSeven	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:06:00 - [13] how does it go? obvious troll is obvious?
Tighty Whities	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:13:00 - [14] Actually, now that I think about it I have heard rumors that all Jovian ships have jump drives. And the capability to fit doomsdays. Perhaps they will share this technology?
JALUTAK Gallente	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:16:00 - [15] Its also good to have if your in a fight and are out numbered and call on your friends or corp to lend a hand.ALL in all it would make it easy to get to places that are long distance.And also avoid being killed by pirates would make them work harder in killing you.Im tired of by new ___ ships,implants,and so on!
Heath Ledger Caldari Insidious Existence RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.14 03:05:00 - [16] Originally by: JALUTAK Why don't all ships have the ability to jump drive through systems? Because that would be re-tarded. I could expand on that more, but all these nice folks already have, so I'll just be disparaging.
Malcolm Gerhardt Gallente Hadean Drive Yards Archaean Cooperative	Posted - 2008.10.14 07:05:00 - [17] The technology is very new. since the eve timeline now occurs in real time, that means that Jump drive technology was brought about , what, 3 years ago with the introduction of the Dreadnaught? or was it when they took cap out of empire space? eithier way, the system is new and huge. for a Comparision, think of computers in the 1940's..and computers now. Keep your Head low, Your Mind high and Your Mouth Shut
Nu Wa	Posted - 2008.10.14 14:23:00 - [18] It would not be good because it reminds me of the eve parody song "I am a monkey, I can go anywhere..." but with alot more monkeys
Gonzo Hadron Gracious Bodily Harm	Posted - 2008.10.14 18:10:00 - [19] Hell, why move at all?? Why not have everyone in one system and have a giant fight to the death!!! The winner simply wins EVE.

Well, let's see... LOLOre reason - Jump drives are freakin' HUGE, they won't even fit into a subcapital. Secondly, you need a ship whip with a Cynosural Field Generator to act as a "target" for your jump - you goinna run arouns wiht a 2nd account just so you can bypass gates? Thirdly, jump drives use fuel - a very expensive fuel. TLDR version - Op's STUPID IDEA IS VERY STUPID.

The node would crash and some guy with an uber internet connection in a drake would take us all out.

They dont have to be so huge,if EVE is so far in the future the tech should be available for every ship there is.With all ships equipt with jump drives would bring the cost of fule down.Take BATTLE STAR GALACTICA every ship in the fleet has junp drive capablity from the shuttles to battle star!
The Vixen Gallente DataPipe Industries	Posted - 2008.10.15 18:07:00 - [25] This thread is full of fail.
vanBuskirk Caldari	Posted - 2008.10.16 07:08:00 - [26] I thought at one time that precisely that would be available. Hence one of my characters, who will never step into a cap ship, who has the jumpdrive skill to 4. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

Please excuse the large quote, I only have forum posting to level 1 :( How would a infinity larger demand make fuel cheaper? If every person in the world own a plane, would jet-fuel suddenly get cheaper? And as for BS:G- did you ever watch the miniseries that introduced the show? Every ship in the fleet has a FTL drive becuase every ship that didn't was left behind to die. Your idea is unsound. You are unconvincing.
