    • These modules may only be fit to Combat Battlecruisers, Command Ships and Deep Space Transports

    • The Medium Micro Jump Drive uses the same Micro Jump Drive Operation skill as the Large Micro Jump Drive and has the same range (100km), spool up (12s base reduced by the skill) and cooldown (3 minutes) as the Large version.

    • The Medium Micro Jump Drive has the following fitting and activation requirements: 

      • Powergrid: 165
        Capacitor: 197
        CPU: 51

        • This means that some Supercarriers will find their overloaded drone bays moved to their cargo after the patch. If this causes the ship's cargo to become overloaded it will prevent warping or jumping until the excess drones have been jettisoned or moved to other bays. We advise all Supercarrier pilots to remove half the drones in their drone bays before June 3rd to avoid being locked in place by an overloaded cargo bay.
      • Fighter and Fighter Bomber stats have been adjusted to ensure balance with the previous changes.

Structures & Deployables:

  • A ship on the edge of a starbase forcefield that is also within 5km of a structure will not be allowed to access that structure unless it has appropriate corp roles and either a) has entered the correct forcefield password or b) the forcefield is configured to allow corp/alliance access.
