[FEATURE REQUEST] Jump Drive

[letwolf]

so
need really it from previous games
make them able to
jump to Nav Beacons

makes no sense in this game really. you can get anywhere in 2 minutes. a jump drive would greatly unbalance it

[tarax007]

I'd say after or with one of the planned expansions when more sectors are added - and only on L+ ships

[oli4uk]

I like having no jumpdrives, it makes the game far more strategic. You can cut out trade routes, you have to position your fleets carefully, and expand an empire carefully. Undefended borders are now a serious issue.

There are jump gates, accelerators, super highways, and instant teleportation... I think we're good on travel methods. Having at least this delay on getting ships where you want them is probably a good thing for game balance.

Personally I would like to see the jump drive, but for the player ship only. I mean you can accomplish same with a teleport, but at the same time people will have their favourite ships and they may want to get involved in directly defending their assets.

We can already teleport across the map, so it would just mean removing some bureaucracy of putting ships everywhere.

I "like" teleporting in my freighter , and trying defend it when a bunch of xenons jumped on top of it out of nowhere. Xenons have jumpdrive, why we dont?

There are loads of threads from months ago with people endlessly discussing jump drives. There's even a dev answer on a few of them. Jump drives were removed for a very good reason and we will not see them again. If you want them, get a mod for them when it becomes available.

if no jumpdrives then there must be no random spawns for enemies. Wtf on clear sector khaak or xenon just pop out of nowhere? What the F...? They must be built on wharfs and come as all player ships there BY LEGS!

As far as i know, beside initial state of galaxy (so what you get on new game) thats the case. You can hunt down all enemies in sector (and assuming you kill everything that can come out) it will produce peaceful sector. Actually this is happening all too often.

Now, because sectors are huuuuge and Ai tend to fly outside player known borders, it is fairly possible that some stragglers flew so far it will take considerable time till they fly back and/or are outside of player sector visibility bubble.

Last save i've played, i tended to meet stragglers till i doubled radius of the region. Only after that things tended to peace out and only very occasionally I found anything out there.

That is incorrect. The game has an encounter script who's whole purpose is to build ships to teleport them to the player. That needs to be removed, or things like blocking a gate will do nothing.

There's even a mod already for the purpose of deactivating it.

Those stranglers don't exist if you are not there. They are teleported from the universe for you to meet them
