Jump nerf

[Jinx]

pretty much that suggestion and also other alternatives have been on the dev forum for a long time already and been reviewed. although its not possible to say if the current state is a quickfix, a final stage or a coincidence of circumstances - more complex ways would require a lot more work, including a revision of the economy as such.

the current systems problems are not so much the speed at which convoys travel from A to B; cause relative to a "simple" 5k trade run ... it is not really that much unbalanced ( if we also take coordination and teamwork and the beneficial nature of such into account )

the problem is more the fact that A to B on a long distance can skip certain areas completely. - and while an artificial "jump-lane" may deal with this problem; balancing the efford to errect such a lane compared to the efford to deconstruct it is a problematic one ( see player stations vs. players who shoot them "just cause they can, but not necessarily cause it makes any sense" ) - oh - and we also thought about such lanes being constructed hidden - or way off the ecliptic, which would defeat the nature of being interruptable - or the limitation of bieng able to only build them in a certain distance around - lets say... the nadir or zenith point of a system, which again - leads to the problem of being too easily destroyable.
