Dev Post: Jump Freighter Navigation to get a bit cheaper.

August 1, 2014

Today CCP Fozzie opened the discussion on the EVE-O forums regarded a conceptualized low slot module which would provide bonuses on fuel conservation to jump freighters. If you are a bit like me, you should be shriek every time you factor in the fuel costs whenever you need to move cargo across the New Eden galaxy, so a module like this would certainly be a welcomed addition:

Hello everyone. As we mentioned a while back, I’ve been working on a set of low-slot modules that decrease the fuel requirements of jump drives.

The primary goal here is to provide an interesting set of choices to capital pilots (especially Jump Freighter pilots) in how to fill up their low slots for any given activity.

These modules will require 1 PG and 0 CPU, there will be no limit in how many you can fit to one ship but they are stacking penalized with each other.

Like the Hyperspatial Accelerators, we are starting with three versions of this module. Also like the Accelerators the blueprints for these modules will be found exclusively in Besieged Ghost Sites in low security space.

The rarity will increase with the power between the three modules, and all of them will have a skill requirement of Jump Fuel Conservation 1. These modules all have a volume of 3500m3.

The fuel reduction per module is:
Limited Jump Drive Economizer – 4%
Experimental Jump Drive Economizer – 7%
Prototype Jump Drive Economizer – 10%

I’ll let you guys know when these babies hit SISI for your testing pleasure.
Feel free to post your feedback in the thread below.
Thanks!
