A ship can not jump if it is moving too quickly, this is why bumping ships are used to kill JFs. |

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. | 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]]).

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 | 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.
