Jump-Drive

[Kazinsal]

Sooooo, looks like "they" are at the Jump Drive thing again... >.>

Well, looks like I kept the model. Goooood.

Now, onto the technical things behind the way the drive itself would work. Here's Boss' list of ideas:

Restrictions:

-Can only jump to a system within three normal jumpgates/jumpholes
-Can only jump with a full powercore (To prevent jumping out of PvP)
-Takes a long time to activate the jump drive (About 60 seconds)
-After a jump, the powercore and thruster are zeroed
-Jump drive has a cooldown time of 120 seconds
-Jump arrival is at 30000,30000,30000 (30k up, east, and north of the center of a system)

I'm a fan of those ideas. Here's another two:

- Must have at least x units of H-Fuel and/or x units of MOX and/or x units of Deuterium on board to jump (units are used after jumping)
- Shields go to 0 after jumping ("Scotty, divert all power to the engines!")

Not only does this limit its abilities as a powertrader, it's also damn efficient at killing the warship capabilities. This makes the ship effectively a light trading vehicle used for RP purposes.

Thoughts?
