Jump Devices

Jump drives allow for instantaneous interstellar (or intrastellar) travel from any point to any other point in the Sirius sector. A Survey Module is used to retrieve, store, and encode jump coordinates into an alphanumeric sting decoded by jump drives. The precision of the jump is determined by the Hyperspace Survey Module. A "blind" jump may also be initiated, whether the coordinates are entered incorrectly (often unintentionally) or not at all (usually intentionally). There are different tiers of Jump Drive, which affect fuel use, cargo use, power use, and charge time. Jump drives use a variety of fuels with different consumption for each, where MOX is used the least and Deuterium and Helium-3 are used the most.

Most of the jump drives in Sirius jump only the vessel equipped with them. They take less time to charge and a few use less fuel per second while charging as well.

Much less common are jump drives designed to pull other close by (usually 300 meters) into a wormhole with the jumping ship. They are usually only seen in large military or trading fleets due to their very large fuel use. They also take much more time to load.

Numbers in parenthesis show the minimum amount needed to complete an operation. MOX is perishable so you need some extra units to allow for decay. Remember that the jump drive still consumes fuel even after it is fully loaded until you give the jump-command. Therefore it might be wise to take some extra fuel along.

Disclaimer: These fuel consumption numbers, charge times, survey times and power used numbers apply to the main Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server. Other servers might have adjusted these values.
