Jump-Drive

[Panzer]

The problem with such stuff and similar in our little reality is that it would ALWAYS have to be "balanced" by giving the solution so many drawbacks that they'd summarily almost outweigh the advantage of instantaneous travel.

Been thinking about how it would work though...

1st, cooldown time of several minutes depending on ship size
2nd, the stuff being availible as an expensive equipment piece
3rd, cost in cargo every time used. You use energy for jumps means you use fuel.
5th, not for all ship types. Traders still gotta do it the hard way so that the painstakingly-calculated trade routes remained used as intended. While small stuffs are too small to have an FTL drive fit in.
6th, Maybe disable cruise?
