Just a sugestion about Jump Drives

[Lythrilux]

Every year a discussion about Jump Drives
I am not a fan of jumping in and out a fight without a previous announcement in the corresponding system. (best not to jump in a fight)
And Jump trading is just a memory and that's good. But removing Jumpdrives from Discovery it's not a solution. There are players who have their roleplay based on a mounted and working Jumpdrive! Removing them would mean that they couldn't RP anymore like it was before.
Last year , the Devs and Admins nerfd already the JD. So we can jump 4 systems. Ok i'm not happy about this but i can live with that decision.
Removing the Jump Drives completely is for sure a nightmare for some players! And our community is anyway already become smaller. Unfortunately!!! My opinion is, we have to make the game as attractive as possible! And the Jump Drives are part of it!
So please Admins and Dev's ! Make whatever you want with the Jump Drives BUT DO NOT REMOVE THEM!!

I own a JD. I would be happy to see it burn in the fires of Mordor along with every other Jump Drive. Funnily enough most Jump Drives aren't really used for RP, and are more used for PvP. Players shouldn't be allowed to keep detrimental pieces of equipment under the excuse that "they put effort" into acquiring them. I can (hypothetically of course) put effort into breaking the rules, should I be allowed to play without consequences of being banned?

I can understand that Jump Drives can seem attractive at a glance. They did for me actually, before I started playing Disco. But for many people, once you get to grips with them and learn how detrimental they are for gameplay, they become a MAJOR turn off for fights and just irritate everyone involved. In fact they push people away from the mod more than they attract people.
