Oops! I thought "hyperdrive" was an engine that could make a jump. Apparently not, since my brand-new ship can't transit to a new system. OK, I guess I needed a "jump engine." So a hyperdrive just works within a system,... yeah, all right. And there's the checkoff on the System Map which lets me see the hyperdrive limit.
Hmm,... this might have been handy for putting mines on Charon. My slow freighters take a LONG time to make that trip! I guess I should have done a search for "hyperdrive" when I started this game.
But I do have another question: What's an LP point? I've seen one - or rather two - in another system, and I'm guessing that it might be similar to a jump point, but just permitting travel between those two points? Is that correct? And if so, can I assume that it also requires a jump engine?
Thanks,
Bill
