{{example|A [[thanatos]] pilot wishes to move from [[Akkio]] to [[Uphallant]]. With no levels in Jump Fuel Conservation (JFC) or Jump Drive Calibration (JDC), the pilot will need to make at least 5 jumps, consuming 28,716 [[oxygen isotopes]]. With JFC 5 and no levels in JDC, the pilot will still need to make 5 jumps but will only consume 14,368 isotopes. Conversely, with JDC 5 and no levels in JFC, the pilot will only need to make 2 jumps but will still consume 23,485 isotopes. With both JDC 5 and JDC 5, those 2 jumps will consume only 11,742 isotopes.}}

~~{{hint|~~The cost of the isotopes, is not the only cost to take into account, however. Vulnerability due to capital ship exposure during each jump as well as the cost of each cynosural field activation should be understood as well.}}

The cost of the isotopes, is not the only cost to take into account, however. Vulnerability due to capital ship exposure during each jump as well as the cost of each cynosural field activation should be understood as well.

[[Jump Freighters]] is another skill that is only required to pilot freighters with jump drives. Each of those ships benefit from increased levels in this skill, reducing their need for jump fuel by 10% per level. This benefit is multiplicative with the reduction from [[Jump Fuel Conservation]].

{{example|An [[anshar]] pilot with Jump Freighter 1 and no levels in Jump Fuel Conservation will require <nowiki>3,100 * 90% = 2,790</nowiki> [[oxygen isotopes]] per light-year. With both Jump Freighters 5 and Jump Fuel Conservation 5, that same pilot will require <nowiki>3,100 * 50% * 50% = 775</nowiki> isotopes per light-year.}}
