Jump drives: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
No edit summary
Operation: jump drive calibration skill gives 20% instead of 25% range bonus. If you know when that was changed please add a reference. Formulation also changed slightly.

The fuel cost for each jump does not depend on the number of stargate jumps to the destination. It depends on the distance between the two systems in space (measured in light-years). Each jump drive has a maximum jump range, and consumes a certain amount of fuel per light-year. The maximum jump range is extended by the skill [[Skills:Navigation#Jump_Drive_Calibration|Jump Drive Calibration]] (25% increase per level), and the fuel consumption is reduced by the skill [[Skills:Navigation#Jump_Fuel_Conservation|Jump Fuel Conservation]] (10% reduction per level). 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.

The skill [[Skills:Navigation#Jump_Drive_Calibration|Jump Drive Calibration]] increases the jump range by 20% per level which means at the maximum of level five the range is doubled.
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.
