In a past dev blog, we got word on the current development of a Micro Jump Drive for Battle Cruisers and similar class ships.
Today I would like to share a string of tweets from Pandemic Legion’s Grath Telkin. According to him, this sort of module will provide a handy get-out-of-jail card to many PVP’ers:
After I saw the tweet of Grath I asked him to elaborate on this and he responded with:
The MJD forces ships to run a scram, because its not stopped by bubbles or long points, and its marginalizing the use of the long poing even further than it already is (how many times have you heard ‘point….ok he got away’. Coupled with the fact that half the time when you’re out solo, or in a smaller gang, there is no fight or theres a single kill and then the other side disengages and runs away. Finding a fight in EVE thats not you getting murdered bya blob, or your blob murdering one dude is already retardedly hard. Adding another ‘get out of jail free’ mod seems incredibly dumb and short sighted. If they want command ships to be able to jump with a BS fleet, make it a CS only mod, otherwise there is an anchorable already that allows ships under BS sized to jump.
You’re going to find all manner of retarded shit going on in lowsec after this mod hits, and killing a BC sized target just got infinitely harder since they’ll all be popping across the grid as soon as something gets hostile.
Might as well just eliminate the long point entirely and just dictate that every fight now has to happen in scram range or your opponent will simply teleport away
Grath does bring in a interesting point, risk averse PVP. So delve in
