Admin Test: Nomad Jump Drives (Test Concluded)

[Laz]

Oh. Well, the more you know. (tbh, something I should have considered)

Charge time has no difference when the item uses no ammo and thus can be charged somewhere away from the fight.

Once charged, does it have to remain charged for infinite time? Making it so, that 1-5 minutes after charge is complete, the process will just fail, if not used?

Or perhaps you'd rather have us talk to the actual faction leaders involved.

I've arranged it with Phil. He should be talking to Huggy. Don't be snippy, young 'un, we're all on the same team here.

I definitely didn't enjoy getting jumped by a snub in my battleship and left 200k away from any solar. If I was in a ship to self kill or if he was in a ship he can pvp me in it's fine, but this isn't the way nomad jumpdrives should be used.

I'm aware K'Hara act like they have nothing to lose - and they don't, because they haven't done anything to earn them, but that doesn't give you (as a faction) the right to abuse the feature provided to you by another Nomad faction who actually worked for it. Either use it properly, or don't use it at all.

Just to make clear, so things won't get too confusing, we had Wesker to speak for Antonio here and replies are here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid1933123

I am keeping an eye on this.
Considering this device is used exclusively with blindjumps, I am currently talking to @Alex. to see if we can make a few specific exclusions for the nomad version of jump mechanics by giving them much longer range in return to having the ability to jump without coords turned off physically.

Would it be too complex to make it so the snub JDs can only jump out other snubs instead of caps and cap JDs being able to jump both etc?

[Foxglove]

The problem that has been outlined here is not with blind jumps, but with the fact that all Nomad ships use the same jump drive. What we need is three versions, just like the humans have.

Snubs get a jd that cannot jump people with them but maybe has a fast charge.

Gunboats and cruisers get a jd that can jump people that are 100m away from then at a longer charge.

Marduks get a jd that can jump in a large radius (500m?) and takes a few minutes to charge.

I talked to Huggie about this and we basically agreed on these points. You could turn the Nomad engines into jump drives instead of the cm, Spazz. They can't be unmounted so nobody can do mischief with them.

[sindroms]

I know you need three versions, but I require a patch for the items to go in.
I am currently testing the concept with what I have available. And no, turning nomad engines into jumpdrives would allow for a cloak mounted on the ship.

spazzy, what about giving surveys 30seconds of survey time and buffing accuracy to 60k. 150k is nuts.
