Hyperspace Drives

[tansytansey]

- the osiris had a jumpdrive as far as i know in the SP campaign. - and its experimental feature is not its drive but only its stealthgenerator. - so we can assume that dreadnoughts and other capital class vessels of that time also have jumpdrives. at the same time we can still assume that they usually use jumpgates though. they fit through - so why use a jumpdrive when you can use a jumpgate...

If the Osiris had a jumpdrive, why was it such a big deal to get out of the Nomad System before the jump hole closed? :|

It is not a moot point, we had the technology then, we brought our knowledge with us.

Technology is also scalable, couple that with more than a century of research into alien technology in one house. And twenty more from the remaining houses? I'd say the chances of making it work are alot higher than zero.

Intra-system jumping is a lot different from inter-system jumping.
The main point being distance. If you notice during the jumping cut-scenes, the ships merely accelerate to a high speed. They don't really 'jump' like you would see in a Jump Hole or Jump Gate
It's different for the warp-projectors, but if we had that tech in sirius, where is it? I don't have one on any of my ships.
I'd have to ask our resident Starlancer nut, but I'm pretty sure that warp-projectors were experimental and probably never got off the ground, due to the war and stuff.
