Hyper Drive

[Kaiser (OP)]

Hi, what is it? How can I use it? (if I can)

[Nibelung44]

it's interesting outside the gravity wells of stars, that you can see with a checkbox named show hyperlimit, in the display tab. This allows to move faster from 2x to much more. Only worth it if you have a very far jump point or if you have colonized binaries or more solar system with super huge distances.

From 6.0 onwards, the hyperdrive does nothing. It was removed/diabled due to the engine changes in v6.0 and steve not knowing how to make them compatible with the new system. Pre-6.0 they multiplied the speed of your craft by a certain multiplier that I can't remember.

What icecoldblood said.

Back in 5.x the hyper drive engine option increased engine mass by 2x (reduced by tech) in return for 10x speed outside of a hyper limit.

So, if we cannot use it, it should be removed from the tech tree...or is it a pre - requisite for other techs?

I believe that there are plans to reintroduce them at some point, they aren't pre-requisites for anything though so you can safely ignore them.

Bring Hyperdrive back!!

Thank you guyZ

Wait, this means that all the RP I've been wasting on Hyperdrive size is useless. . .  I was WONDERING why I couldn't find the hyperdrive anywhere else.
