Title: Size of ship to jump engine efficiency?
Post by: Mwaki on May 19, 2011, 12:35:55 PM

Say that i want to put a jump engine on a 6000 ton ship.  What is the effiency needed for the jump engine? I have'nt figgured out the correlative between ship size and engine effiency.

The efficiency relates to the size of the engine that can be built.  The higher the efficiency the smaller the jump engine that can be built, allowing more mission critical equipment to be installed.

Specifically:

engine size x jump drive efficiency = jump ship size


Therefore jump drive efficiency is the proportion of your ship that is jump engine. 

Note that jump drive efficiency is one less for commercial drives.
