Can a MK2 jump drive jump a... - Black Widow - 09-12-2013
Battleship?

Yep. I have one on one of my Dreadnaughts. Your armor will be lacking though. On mine, I have a JDII, UAU8, and full weapons. After a jump, I have roughly 40-50 units of fuel left (Not using MOX)

Do you think a battleship with a cloak device and CAU 8 is a more effective war machine than a battleship with JD2 and AU8 armour in terms of tactical adventure? i.e. surprise attacking

More effective, probably. But you're going to piss off a lot of people if you do the whole rp-while-invisible-and-then-instagib-with-pulse-and-mortars thing.
Even if that doesn't matter to you, I'd encourage the jumpdrive over the cloak as it's a far more effective defensive tool. Even if you work your way in to a real jam and are cornered by three battlecruisers, you can probably escape before they kill you. This allows you to perform deep incursion missions into enemy space, without it being totally ridiculous in-RP.
To say nothing of responding to distress calls at the speed of warp.

Yeh I wanna test this out, but Osiris cargo really sux tho. As I need a minimum of 360 Cargo space to have enough fuel for one jump, an AU8 Osiris with full weaps and shield wont have 360 spare

If you plan not to get killed, or I would say, if you only plan to interact when you feel theres no "real" threat then I would in anycase use a JD. Easy way out if hell breaks loose ( though I think if you get jumped with osiris to -restricted systems you might get sanctioned - but I think admins will understand that situation I guess.
Anyway, Osiris blows and I wouldn't use it anyways. Cheers

I'd say UAU8 and skimp on the guns if you want to go with an Osiris. Tel-Aviv is exaggerating its limitations a bit, but it's true that you're not going to win most heavyweight fights with such a setup.
Would be a fun RP platform for deep space reconnaissance, though. Kind of a shame the Resheph doesn't have a jump drive option.
