    You know those ships that have a large numbers of jump drives filling one or more hotbars with them. Show off you long range jump ships.

    Also mention how many jump drives it has in the hotbar. :)

    The VSAg213 Gagarin and VSAu251 Gagarin Firefly both have twelve jumpdrives.

    What is the use of having more than one jump drive? You have to hold down the mouse button to charge it, and there is no delay after using it before you can begin charging again.

    the mass-to-module ratio of jump drives is pretty extreme. your ship would need to be comprised of like 70-80% jump drive modules just in order to have a super fast jump charge and thats not including the power requirements. extra jump drives can allow for a quick chain of jumps while also acting as a emergency jump too since getting attacked while charging will reset the charge.

    Sometimes it is also fun to leave someone in the dust and clueless as to where you went or how far. :)

    Ah, so you're charging each of them up before using any of them? Rather than charging as you go, you're doing it all in advance?

    Yep charging them all up may take a while but it coming in handy for long distance jumps. Still working on a starter 20 jump ship for when I start on a server. :)

    one of them has decent charge speeds, eleven of them are one block each. It takes less than a minute to jump twelve times, that's a long way, it however takes 15 minutes to jump 24 times xD
