Jumpdrives

[Black Widow]

Jumping is a military tactic and as such only capital ships and snubs should be able to use it. Traders should be completely grounded.

There's other way, which gives new RP opportunities, such as Battleship + traders around it, as described in the Kusari Law Codex. Neat and way better that solo-trader jumping.

A solo trader cannot jump, because trader ships do not have the powercore to operate a Jumpdrive. The reason why you see traders around a battleship jumping is because the battleship is the one that has the jump drive and can operate it.

This is how traders jump trade by crowding round a bs with an mk4 Jumpdrive.
