> My question is if you have both the Command Destroyer and another ship headed straight towards each other and the mmjd happens, will the other ship maintain forward velocity and still be able to enter warp if he was within 5 degrees, but only at like 60% velocity?

Afaik, the velocity of all ships jumped by the MWJG retain their velocity and vector.  
Ie: The ships continue just as before, in space, in all ways, except for having been moved 100km away. Nothing else is affected, except their location in space. Afaik, a ship that started the warp process before the jump, will continue on that as if they had not been jumped.

None of the above is relevant to bumping.

Bump to displace a ship (or MWJG it, and I have discussed that earlier in this thread).

But actual warp prevention, should remain in scram/disruptors/bubbles.

Bump a ship to displace it.  
Poiint/bubble it to prevent it warping.  
This is not a difficult thing to realize.

It’s relevant to the comment you made about modules not displacing. I vote NO!

Bump should bump.  
Point should point.  
Bubble should bubble.

Bump currently, erroneously, additionally to displacement, has a tackle effect that overlaps points.  
Points have no bump effect.  
Bubbles effect everyone inside them.

A bump should not constitute a tackle.  
It should just bump.

If you want to tackle, use point modules.

Do you know how to fit a point, or not?

Its not difficult, or expensive.

Good.  
Then point them to point them, and bump them to displace them.

The change wont hurt you at all.

Nah, it wont hurt anyone.

Just use scram/disruptor/bubble instead to prevent warp.

Yes, you can still warp off in the direction you are moving
