The point where you pop out in the system can be specified by the one jumping too.

Do you mean by the item you have in your bay? I'm not sure that's possible, but I'll take a look into it. As for the items in the bay that are used for jumping, I had it set to a certain amount in the bay that would allow you to jump further. I.E. if you had two crystals, you could only jump one system. However, I never managed to get far enough with the development of the engine to actually use the crystals in the bay of the ship. I'm thinking it will need to be something equipped on the ship itself. Kind of like an armor upgrade like we have now.

In system spawn place should be totally random as long as its in normal plane in side of terrain, but on closest rounds it should be more safe ( not spawning you in planet, sun or something like that).
You should be able to specify system where are you jumping to, /jump Eta ... it will do jump if its close enough for it ( less then 4-5 systems or what ever you decide) with damage and spawn danger for being further away.

If it works, this needs an awesome effect in space.
But year, some kinda crystal thing to power the Drive, so when you jump it uses them up. They should buy on Shipyards for a heck of a lot of credits, so Its basically a one way trip, you come back the normal way.

interesting .. how would you designate the target system?

The time between jumps doesnt need to be hours.
It just needs to be one minute longer than the time it would take to fly in cruise from one end of the largest system to the other end (like Newcastle).
That would guarantee it would never be used for trading.
If this concept were combined with dockable carriers - it would a recipe for AWESOME.

Weren't they developing an Agiera ship that was going to do this?

I assume a server command.
Ex, to jump to Leeds, you type:
/jump Leeds

Oh yes, because "they" is so descriptive.
Project's somewhat on hold, pending sobriety from Andy.

Interesting only if the /dock on big ships was created. Otherwise...
