That was true in aurora vb it changed for C#.

« on: January 17, 2021, 12:33:03 AM »ARGH! Great. That answers my question. I gave them commercial engines to save on fuel and military jump engines to save on space. Now I have to spend umpteen ages refitting them before I can actually use them. Going to do my damndest to make them fuel-efficient somehow despite making them military. Maybe just drop their size to one below 25, or raise their fuel efficiency one notch, sacrificing some range but gaining a tad more speed. (Useful I suppose for running away.)
Sure would be nice is there was some sort of alert as to the mismatch. I had absolutely zero clue it would be a problem.

The cruiser is less than 10,000 tons and has a 'self-only' jump drive that can jump 10,000 tons. Why am I failing to get my exploring ships to actually get out there and explore?
Make sure both engine types match
Seconding. To clarify: jump drives work based on the engine of a ship, rather than the ship's classification - if a ship is a military ship with a commercial engine (often true for survey craft!!) it needs a commercial jump drive.
I got bitten by this in my first game of Aurora C#. I recommend using SpaceMaster to correct this if it is indeed the cause, you've learned your lesson so no need to make it more painful than it already is.
