That just means they're the same cost as if you selected squadron size 3, the minimum, I take it, not some extra cost reduction beyond that.
- Ah, that makes sense then. Cheers! In that case though, I would like to instead request a Self-Jump Only option that makes a drive cheaper and slightly more efficient at the cost of being... well self-jump only.
Have it be at the bottom of Squadron Jump Size, and have it unlocked by default perhaps? Or unlocked with Squadron Jump Size 3 would be far,
FAR simpler. That or a "Compact Jump Drive" tech that is ruins and/or Spoiler only, that only has a Drive Size and Drive Range tech. Make it so that it's cheaper, more efficient and self-jump only. I'm not too amendable to this idea myself, but it could be an option.
- One other thing would be a Compact Jump Drive that the player can research as a separate tech. It would be way more efficient, but costlier, have no engine restrictions, but be self-jump only. With the added caveat that it could be mounted in addition to a normal Jump Drive, so our Commercial / Military Tenders could mount whatever they needed to move their intended "cargo", and have one for themselves to move... erm, well themselves!
