Unlike stargates, which are free to use, jump drives require fuel. The jump drive comes with a special fuel bay. The fuel required depends on the faction that constructed the jump drive, and can be produced by refining [[Ice_Mining#Ice_distribution|corresponding ice]]. The respective fuel type for each faction is:

The fuel cost for each jump does not depend on the number of stargate jumps to the destination. It depends on the straight-line 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. These qualities are modified by skills:
