Jump Drive

Jump Drive

A Jump Drive or jump drive is an upgrade that can be installed on spacecraft to allow it to access jump points.

Every drive is capable of 8 jumps before it must be refueled at a base.

They are available for sale to privateers at ship dealers. Gabriel Quentin wrote about afterburners in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW, recommending that spacecraft owners buy them.

Jump Drive

This is undoubtedly one of your most important and expensive purchases. Unfortunately, one manufacturer essentially has a monopoly on jump drives (a common problem with many frontier products).

The jump drive is your ticket to interstellar travel. Without it you are unable to travel beyond the system you buy your ship in. All of Gemini’s trade, strategic position and illicit industry depend upon jump drives. Jump fuel is automatically topped off as part of your landing fees, so it’s just the initial investment that hurts. However, like a cargo expansion, this is an investment that more than pays for itself.

OTHER SHIP MODIFICATION TIPS

• When you buy a new ship, your maps, jump drive, and scanners are transferred automatically. You must buy everything else. — "Frog"
