Jump drives: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

The skill [[Skills:Navigation#Jump_Fuel_Conservation|Jump Fuel Conservation]] redudes the fuel consumption by 10% per level which means that you use half the fuel at the maximum level of five.

Jump freighters also have their required fuel reduced by the [[Skills:Spaceship_Command#Jump_Freighters|skill required to fly them]]. ~~These three skills make a huge difference to~~ the ~~base figures~~, ~~as shown in the table. Jump ranges are prone to rebalance with patches. Used to be 3.5 - 6.5 ly~~ base ~~ranges~~, ~~but were shortened during the October 2014 Phoebe release as part~~ of ~~an effort to reduce long range power projection in nullsec. This change is being reverted, together with a big increase in~~ jump ~~ranges for the capital industrial ship, in the November 2016 Ascension expansion~~.

Jump freighters also have their required fuel reduced by the [[Skills:Spaceship_Command#Jump_Freighters|skill required to fly them]].

The following table shows the range, base fuel consumption, and fuel capacity of all jump drive-capable ships.

Finally, activating a ship's jump drive consumes 95% of the energy in its capacitor (reduced by 5% per level of [[Skills:Navigation#Jump_Drive_Operation|Jump Drive Operation]]). Because Jump Drive Operation level five is required for the [[Jump Drive Calibration]] skill, it is usually assumed to be at level five. At this level, 71.25% of the capacitor is consumed which rounds up to 75% in everyday communications and is coloquially called "jump cap". Because of the huge amount of cap needed for jumping capital ships usually have a capacitor booster fitted. But, in special cases you would rather fit cap rechargers and capacitor power relays to reduce the amount of time between jumps.

Activating a jump drive has similar constraints to activating a warp drive: jump drives cannot be activated if the ship is either inside a [[Tackling#Warp_disruption_fields|warp interdiction bubble]] (from an [[Interdictor]] or [[Heavy Interdiction Cruiser]], or if the ship has been [[Tackling#Fitting for tackling|warp disrupted]] below a Warp Core Strength of 0.

(However, a jump drive can be activated regardless of the jumping ship's speed or alignment.)
