I have read a lot on these pages about players using the Barge with Jump Drives.
According to the original files this is not possible as the Barge as a power core of 90,000 yet you need 7,000,000 power core for a multi ship jump drive to work. So how did you achieve this. Was the barge file hacked or was the jump drive modules hacked.
Normally only a large Cap Warship fleet can use these devices effectively due to the cargo space required, power core requirements and fuel consumption. So I respectfully ask again, how did you guys get around this.
My hats of to you as I can find no clue in your forum pages or game files.
The barge was (and still is?! Or is it? I don't know if it's still possible) jumped by using the Jump Drive Module Series VI, which is capable of group jumping. The drive can only be used by a battleship, as every other ship lacks the energy to activate it. It also requires a transport with fuel to engage the jumping, since it has no space left to carry enough fuel. (Transport drops the fuel, the battleship tractors continously till the jump.)
The Jump Drive VI jumps the user and every ship (regardless if in group or not) around it, not sure in what range, but they have to be pretty close. An accurate distance can't be given anyway, since the distance ingame is measured depending on the target's size, at least for player ships, which results in you pretty much having to be at "0 m" distance for most bigger battleships, so you will be jumped with it.
A barge has to be extremly close to the battleship, it is recommended to disable shields, so they can be closer together without bumping. (If it is still possible to jump barges.)
Thanks Syrus for that.
And yes I am pretty up todate with what you said about using Transports and Warship together when jumping. However many players on this Forum have talked about jumping with a barge only. I have been in many Disco sites were I have seen this in action. So someone somewhere has made the mod either to the Barge or the Jump Drive and I am looking for the secret.
Very grateful for your input.

Alright, let me put it this way:
Yeeeees, in THEORY that is possible, both things could be modified in a way to make them usable on a Barge, they can already be mounted, just not activated. In practice, I don't know. Also it WILL kick you for cheating. Pretty sure about that, since the files you'd have to edit are said to be checked on login and modifying them will result in an autokick.
My advise:
Even if it still were to be possible, don't do it.
