I've got a question. How long is it possible to hold a jump drive's charge for? If one knows there's a chance of ambush, could one charge up the drive and be ready to warp out in just a click?

basically you can switch to other things anytime you want, the charge will then still be at where you left it. charging up before an ambush is a good idea, but as soon as you get actually hit, the charge is gone. so better make that decision to get out of there as quick as possible

Hyperspace will still be the 3rd option to ftl, but without having the capital ship part functionality and without the universe redesign it's not a good feature at this point

Tried to make a warp gate, I think I utterly failed. Got any pictures for reference?

This has the longest description in the news yet! And we haven't even got the hyperdrive, creatures, AI, NPC and the universe update yet! Anyone want to start a pool to guess the size of the next update?

Tomorrow: Survival with FTL!
The day after tomorrow: playing around with the configs! Yay!

I'm guessing the ship has to pass through the gate? Sorry for asking i can't test it i'm currently using my phone.
PS: I just calmed from the hype and i read the whole update post.
