Sorry for the stupid question, but I don’t understand the usefulness of MWDs in PvE settings.
It seems they have quite a number of disadvantages vs afterbuners, not to mention they are more resource hungry, unless they are still useful for speed tanking…?
Can someone kindly explain to me how a MWD can be more useful than an afterburner in PvE?
Shoots you 100km away from rats so if you are being bombarded you can warp away quickly or if you are in a sniper ship like golem or raven with long distance traveling missiles you can snipe the targets before they get to you
MWD gets you to a gate faster if you want/can skip a room. Beyond that, it’s not really of any use. The AB is so much better as it mitigates a lot of the incoming DPS. Speed tanking with an MWD does not work well as you drain your cap and the massive sig radius increase only really works out with small ships. Large ships like a Battleship can’t get fast enough nor get to speed quickly enough that it would work.
@Geo_Eclipse_Oksaras WTH is wrong with you? You are talking about the MJD, the OP wants to know stuff about the MWD. Get your head out of the ChatGPT gas bubble, it’s not doing any good for you.
He’s talking about MWD’s, not MJD’s…
Yeah, there’s only a few instances where MicroWarpDrives would be useful in PvE…
Usually the extra fitting resources consumed to fit and use a MWD, as well as the large signature bloom of your ship, basically makes that module un-usable for most PvE content…
For Events, mainly the Hacking sites, a MWD could be very useful, especially when racing others to the cans…
My bad I had the two confused.
