'''Jump Drives''' are [[Ship components]] that allow for the usage of [[Jump point]]s for near-instant travel between [[systems|Star systems]]. |
|||
Jump drives have the following characteristics: {{RSIForumComment|ref=yes|comnum=3616448|text=Jump Drive Characteristics}} |
|||
* '''Recharge time:''' number of minutes between jumps. |
|||
* '''Fuel Efficiency:''' number of jumps without refueling. |
|||
* '''Signature:''' easily detectable ‘flash,’ or silenced approach. |
|||
* '''Damage:''' where hull damage translates to hits on internal components. |
|||
* '''Quality:''' % of chance you’ll have a flameout/failed jump/etc. |

==History== |
|||
The first human to "jump" was [[Nick Croshaw]] when, In 2271, he modified his [[Quantum drive]] and jumped through a wormhole into what is now the [[Croshaw]] System. RSI, spotting an opportunity, quickly developed their own jump drive called the QM-Core XII and sold it at exorbitant prices to billionaires and governments. |
|||
Two mechanics sought to bring Jump Drives to explorers, [[Tara Dilione]] and [[Alfonsus Carbrino]]. Working together, they researched jump drives and worked on jump ships until they realized that RSI hadn't developed a true Jump Drive, they had simply modified an existing Quantum drive into a Nick (Named after Nick Croshaw). |
|||
For the next 27 months, the pair worked, tested, and eventually released the "Tarsus" device in November 7, 2292. The Tarsus was capable of modifying any Quantum drive into a jump drive safely and reliably. {{RSI|ref=yes|text=Portfolio - Tarsus Electronics|int=Comm-Link:Portfolio - Tarsus Electronics|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15371-Portfolio-Tarsus-Electronics}} |
