FTL Jump: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:04, 15 April 2025

An FTL jump is how a ship travels between systems and sectors.

To perform an FTL jump, a ship requires:

A powered FTL Drive that has an FTL Charge loaded.
The ability to align the ship for the jump, which requires working engines or thrusters.

The Fleet page describes how multiple player-owned ships jump together.

There is not a limit to jump distance, but a jump cannot pass directly through another star system.

Make your new ship ready for flight:

Build the ship's flight and FTL jump systems, and make your first jump.
