Jumpdrives - Garrett Jax - 10-30-2014
The trial phase restricting Jumpdrives has ended. The restrictions we placed upon them can be found here.
The Admins have read the feedback concerning these restrictions. We have consulted with players in factions who would be affected by this change in both a positive and negative way. After considering all the ramifications, we have decided to keep the restrictions that have been placed on the Jumpdrives.
We realize this decision will be met with anger from certain corners of the community. However, pirate/trader/lawful interactions suffer with use of the jumpdrive. Most times, a group of traders will jump from one friendly system to another friendly system, without giving an opposing faction an opportunity to interact with them. As fun as that might be for the trading factions, it hurts the health of the server overall, eliminating opportunities for pirate factions, in the case of lawful traders, or police factions, in the case of smugglers.
Although the decision regarding Jumpdrives has been made, we will continue to look for opportunities to make improvements regarding them going forward.

Okay.

Tbh I don't notice that many jumpers, now or before the change. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. Either way, I think this still benefits larger groups, as you can jump more people at once. Many 3600s > A few 5000s. So it's not such a bad change for people imo.
At least, that's my logic.

To elaborate on my previous response,
I'm completely indifferent about the entire situation.

And when the server pop doesn't increase after adding these restrictions you'll give jump drives back right? Right?

You fine gentlemen already wrecked the last thread posted on the subject by pointing fingers at a particular group and calling them things. Let's not do that here.
Thread cleaned.

And nothing of value was gained.
Jumpdrives are still worthless for jumping smaller craft due to the fuel demands and the cargo sizes.

Okay.
