I have been looking for an answer without success so I thought I would simply ask.
I have built a survey ship to find asteroid clusters for my planned mining fleet to mine. It is only a small ship and could jump about 15-20km in a single jump. I don't recall the exact figure but it is around that amount.
I found a couple of clusters on the edge of my sector and so jumped back to my homebase to prepare for a mining expedition. It took me a couple of jumps to get there and it got me thinking that there must be a way of increasing the range.
I checked the jump drive and I needed an extra 23 modules. I stopped off at a shop and bought them and fitted them to my ship before taking the last jump home. It was a jump of about 5km further than my last jump so I thought with 100% jump capability I could do this in one.
No such luck! I jumped exactly the same distance as before. My emergency jump with a single module allowed me to jump the last few kilometers home.
I guess it is server specific, but as a rule of thumb, what are the best jump setups and is there any way to increase the range?
It just seemed pointless in adding the extra modules as range stayed the same and charging seemed about the same too. 50+ modules gave me the 15-20km range above but 1 gave me about 3-5km?
Any clues? Thanks!
