Starships traveling between systems via hyperspace commonly use a technique known as hyperjump. Theoretically, a jump can be initiated from anywhere in a system but, due to gravity of planets, stations, and other objects, the equation is too complex for the computer to calculate a safe entry while close to a system's center. This means a ship is required to move to the outskirts of the system so the computer can compute an equation for safe hyperspace entry. If a system contains no significant objects, hyperspace can be initiated anywhere.

NotesEdit

If you have any gameplay tips, hints, or background information relevant to this topic, please post them here.

Jumping typically takes one to three days of game time (depending on the ship's total mass) and consumes one hundred units of the ship's energy. A hyperjump can be set up via the galaxy map using multiple-jump routes, so you are not required to set a new destination with every jump unless you are traveling to a previously unknown system.

Various outfits are available to reduce the jump transit time, increase jump energy efficiency, or allow jumps closer to a system's center.
