Jump drives are placed like any other weapon or effect. They appear in the weapon panel to put in the hotbar for use. The Jump Drive Computer works in conjunction with Jump Drive Modules. To charge, hold the left mouse button like shooting a weapon. After it is charged, press right click to jump. The mechanic to actively have to charge up the Jump Drive is in place to make it more dangerous to use in battle. The drive has a 10 second cool-down after jumps. Moving the Jump Drive Computer resets the charge immediately. The charge will also be reset if hit, so make sure you are safe before starting to charge up (you can still of course do it while flying).
Jump destination can be set in two ways:
- Either you jump in the direction you were looking at when engaging the jump drive, or
- You can enter a waypoint in the navigation panel. It will make you jump towards it, no matter in which direction you look. It even puts you directly at your waypoint sector if it is fewer than 8 sectors away.
