How to Jump Drive:

Step 1: Procure a ship with either a 3600000 (Battlecruiser, Series II is the only drive it can use) or 7000000 (Light BS/Bustard powercore)
Step II: Mount the Jump Drive.

Step III: Input coords whilst in space. Now, because coords are really big and finicky, a free third-party program called AutoHotKey is a lifesaver.

Attached is a script that inputs coordinates for Omicron Delta.

The "^3" means Ctrl + 3, for reference.

Step IV: Say /charge

Step V: Wait for charge to be full

Step VI: Say /jump

Jump Drive II consumes 420 batteries and charges in 60 seconds, consuming 7 batteries per second
Jump Drive III consumes 450 batteries and charges in 30 seconds, consuming 15 batteries per second
Jump Drive IV consumes 450 batteries and officially charges in 200 seconds, but is closer to 225 seconds now according to community tests, consuming 2 batteries per second

Are there no small jump drives?

I always found it odd that there is no "Jump Drive I." No love for cruisers or, dare I say, heavy gunboats?

I would guess, it is because there is no way for someone to update a guide, that was made by someone else.

And since stuff gets changed all the time....

You know people aren't forbidden to contact Laz and offer their help so he doesn't have to do everything alone, right?

People want recognition for their effort rather than simply having mega-tutorial of some sorts.

Laz? What does he has to do with it?

Anyway, stuff like this should be on wikipedia, so anyone can do the update, without having to contact someone.

But this discussion should probably continue somewhere else. Maybe a moderator could clear this thread so it stays on topic, which is you know, Jump Drives?
