Lol.So can we take advantage of that?

they jumphole 'failure' could be that you enter the cutscene.... and appear in the system that you just left, not having jumped at all.
no damage, just no travel. all you need to do then is wait for the 30 seconds before your jump-travel technological stardrive thingy is recharged again, and off you go. a risk of 0.001 per jumphole, so every 1000 jumpholes theres a chance the jumphole doesnt work, and sends you back into the original system.

With such a low risk, why bother implementing this at all?

' Wrote:why bother implementing this at all?I've cut this down to my question.
It won't affect most lawfuls.
It will affect all unlawfuls, as well as many lawful and semi-lawful factions like the IMG and Zoners. Oh, also guard systems.
Imagine, you're flying an IMG Nyx through the Taus on patrol. Suddenly, Outcasts, hundreds of them! (likely not an exaggeration). You run, and run, and reach a jump hole to your guard system. "Okay, I'm safe now."
Jump hole failure!
IMG|Poor.Bastard has been put out of action by MNS-iKill (missile/torpedo)
Let's just say I don't think that would be well-received, and I think there's a good reason.

*ahem*
The information contained in that infocard is old and no longer up-to-date with the rest of Freelancer. You should look to the current infocards on other jumpholes for actual information on said anomalies.

I would like to see JH sending people to a random system from time to time. Lost in Space kind of stuff.
I don't know if it can be coded though

Jump Holes are fine the way they are. No need to needlessly complicate things just because you think it's cool.

Omicron-94, Sector G4:
It's even named "Unstable Jumphole", and when you jump, It does something completely random to you.
You might explode at the end of the jump, might just get out of the other end of the same jumphole,
... Or, it might just shoot you to some random system around Sirius!
This might be a 'Fun' concept for some time... But, If you randomly explode every once in a while - Specially On your Trader when you're taking the Last Jumphole to the System you're taking the Cargo to - After a few months, You'll be the first one who'll come and whine about it on Forums. So, Thanks but No thanks!

I got an idea, just hear me out, Maybe the devs should make some JH's in some random systems which are rarely used and make them Unstable like the one in OM-94 but it doesn't kill you, it just sends you to a random system, but those Unstable JH's don't connect, so heres an example of my "idea" Your in Omicron Lost, and you find an Unstable Jumphole and say "Hmm i wonder where this leads to." And you jump trough the hole and it takes you to, Coronado, and the JH behind you is a Cortez JH, that would be super awesome!
