This also means that ships which have bonuses to afterburner velocities, such as ships built by Sansha's Nation, or Tech 3 Cruisers, can have enormous mobility advantages over other ships. However, this knowledge can also be exploited with the use of dualprop ships, or ships fitting both an afterburner and a micro jump drive, as the afterburner can be used to escape the interdiction field, and then the microwarp or micro jump drive can then be activated outside the field to gain an enormous range advantage over anyone else using an afterburner alone. This gives an advantage either in combat or in escaping to ships fitted with either an afterburner, or both an afterburner and a MWD ("dualprop"). The ESS space restricts mobility, as an afterburner is the only useful way to increase a ship's speed near an ESS. The fact that anyone entering the ESS field arrives at the same point after activating the deadspace gate gives an advantage in initial positioning to anyone who is already in the ESS space. The ESS space presents a significantly different set of mechanics to normal known-space PvP contexts. Much as in a faction warfare complex, anyone warping into the ESS from the deadspace gate will arrive at the same point in space (next to the ESS tower, in the center of the bubble), with none of the control over arrival distance available in a normal 'warp to' command. Furthermore, as the ESS grid is considered deadspace, it is not possible to warp around inside it, even after leaving the interdiction field. Entering an ESS therefore usually constitutes a significant commitment to holding the field, as all quick methods of leaving are disabled. The gate leads to the physical ESS tower itself, which is surrounded by a 75km-radius Warp Interdiction field which disablesĪs a result, after taking the acceleration gate to enter the ESS, the fastest way to escape is using an afterburner to burn the 75km distance to the field's edge. The beacon is surrounded by a “non-interactable object” which will decloak any ship and is a bit over 100 km in diameter, centered on the beacon itself. At the beacon there is a deadspace acceleration gate, which is restricted to hulls of cruiser, battlecruiser, and battleship size only. Jurgens and Whitley were named to the all-tournament team.The ESS is available as a beacon in space which anyone can warp to. The Mavericks took a page from Southern’s playbook by forcing the Jaguars into 17 points, scoring 19 points off those miscues. “I’m proud of our guys with the way they really hung in there and battled through some adversity.”įrankie Fidler netted 13 points while starters Dylan Brougham and Jaeden Marshall had 11 apiece for Omaha. “We just battled back,” said Crutchfield. Southern raced to a 17-8 lead but Jungers helped bring the Mavericks back, drilling a three-point basket to tie the game at 25-25 with 5:41 left in the first half. Guard Brion Whitley led Southern with 23 points, including 19 points in the first half. Let’s be who I think we can be and be a good basketball team.“ I challenged our guys before the game to make even more steps. ![]() ![]() “I thought today there was even more growth. “I think we made some steps yesterday in our growth and our maturity,” Crutchfield added. Omaha shot a season-high 53.1 percent for the game (26-49), including a blistering 60.9 percent (14-23) in the second half. Then he just continued to keep doing the same thing in the second half. “He came off the bench and really gave us a spark when we needed it. “Luke (Jungers) had a great, great game,” said Omaha head coach Chris Crutchfield, whose team improved its record to 3-4. Jungers was one of six players who scored in double figures for the Mavericks who won their second straight game in the tournament.įorward Marquel Sutton scored 15 points, while guard JJ White collected 14 points and a game-high seven assists for Omaha. Luke Jungers came off the bench to score a career-high 17 points, sparking Omaha to a 88-78 victory in the consolation championship of the Emerald Coast Classic tournament Saturday afternoon at Northwest Florida State College.
