I didn’t complain in 08 when I started. What is your point again?
Very true indeed! Best of luck!

Point taken, still hadn’t heard of it though lol.

Lack of experience, really?
I use it all the time in my Paladin, but I never saw that text.
But over the years you do tend to forget this stuff, and when you reach 66 you seem to remember a bit less each year, especially if it’s something you don’t take notice of anymore.

Yes really. One cannot have had much fleet fight experience in the last 6 years without having encountered command destroyers using a MJFG.
The thing you use in your Paladin is a Micro Jump Drive, which is similar but not the same as a Micro Jump Field Generator.
Only Command Destroyers can equip the latter (and Carriers the capital version) and while both the MJD and MJFG teleport the ship 100km forward, the MJFG also takes along nearby other ships, drones and bubbles. This allows various strategies like quickly repositioning an entire fleet, stealing drones, moving interdictor bubbles away from friendly capitals as well as abducting enemy ships to a part of space where they don’t want to be.
Unlike the MJD the MJFG is banned in high sec space, so unless you also have experience outside HS it’s not unlikely you have never heard of it.
Back in the day there was no maximum to the amount of ships taken by the MJFG, which was used by the ‘Goku fleet’ doctrine: tanky non-covops bombers supported by command destroyers, logi and Harpies to hit smaller things, which could take on capital ships with their incredible mobility from MJFGs.
As an example watch at the 1:00 mark where a MJFG is used to reposition the bomber fleet away from a Titan lance in this video:
Nowadays there is a maximum number of ships on the MJFG of 25, which limits this strategy to smaller fleets.

That explains why I never heard of it then lol. It’s been a few years since I bothered with NS.
Yes I can fly command destroyers but being a solo player now I have more than likely never had use for it, or even clicked on it in Dixie etc.
But with around 5k modules in the game nobody can remember or even use all of them, and once my ships are fitted it’s very rarely I change them.

I think it’s glorious that 4 years into the game there are still entire mechanics and tactics and fittings, and even a number of ships, that I have never heard of let alone used. No other game has such huge scope….not even when I spent 600 hours playing Skyrim. It’s not a downside of the game…its the single biggest upside. And if that means there is always someone better at the game than you, that in itself gives you something to aspire to.

OMFG
You need to get out more sweetie, touch some grass, party, get drunk….prowl the streets, gank some strangers, find a dangerously cute guy, jump his bones.

Since you insist on spreading inaccuracies, for the readers of that thread that actually care about understanding game mechanics, unlike e.g. bombs and bubbles that are 0.0 only, MJFG works perfectly in lowsex.

Loved the background music!
Let’s be blunt: Many, many people play Eve Online because it’s complicated, because it has depth. That’s the same reason people love games like Factorio, or even Dwarf Fortress. EVE also offers mass multiplayer and the opportunity to interact with a great community. If you want a simple game, you probably won’t play Eve Online. Since you obviously know how to finance pirate battleships (I don’t think with a credit card), you already have some basic knowledge. How about joining a corp and flying with other players? They could also explain how the game works. I mean, “single player” can work in Eve and be a lot of fun.
But maybe that’s just not the style of play you enjoy. So figure out what exactly you enjoy.

I don’t care where it can be used.
I never used it, and will probably never use it.
So why does it bother you so much?
As I said there’s close to 5 thousand individual modules in the game, name a player that knows them all or has ever used them all.
