If jumpdrives required a full load of fuel, but it was possible for all ship classes to jump, then we'd restore some player interaction.

traders: can jump across sirius, and then crawl back with high value cargo.
police: can jump into a system with a suspected smuggler
pirates/military: can send out scouts, and have rapid reaction force jump in

Jumptrading has removed many interactions. traders now have the ability to avoid 99% of the systems in sirius. the remaining slow traders now get hit by 99% of the pirates. A minor tweak to the characteristics of the JD (rather than deleting them) would ensure enhanced interaction.

please tell me what you think
