Jump Drives

Jump Drives are devices that can be mounted on capital ships to move across Sirius within an instant. There are two methods of jumping with a capital ship. A 'blind jump' where you could end up anyway, or a jump with co-ordinates that takes you to a specific spot.

Notes: Jump Drives must be built on PoBs.
A Jump Drive charge can be disabled with a CD.
Transports cannot be jumped.

There are three different types of Jump Drive:

Name	Charge Time	Minimum Amount Jump Batteries	Requied Powercore	Can Jump Other Ships?
Jump Drive MK2	60 seconds	420	1875000	No
Jump Drive MK3	30 seconds	450	6000000	No
Jump Drive MK4	3:45 minutes	450	4500000	Yes (1k range)

Jumpdrives have various commands. The main two are /charge and /jump. Both of these can be mapped to a key in the options menu. There are others that will be covered in the Hyperspace section.
