Thrust * Warp-factor = Speed & Jump-distance = time(store/(drain-regen)!) * speed : Thoughts?

[NeonSturm]

Think about using jump to multiply sublight speed:

speed-factor(40) = sector-size(10k) / thrust-speed-limit(200?) * jump-max-sectors(8) / jump-time(10 sec)



Entering jump

jump-speed(4000/sec) = thrust-current-speed(100) * speed-factor(40)
jump-time = jump-time(10 sec)
jump-distance = jump-speed * jump-time



Server Option: draw power during jump [true, false]:

jump-time = power-storage / ((y power/1sec/1module) - (x power-regen)) --- storage after activation cost is paid
negative = infinite jump time, only limited by jump-max-sectors.


Server Option: Charge upkeep [true, false]

built up charge requires power or degenerates. Running through a sector with charged-up jump drive should be a bad idea.

Possibly a good idea; would certainly give more reason to have power tanks on smaller ships. They'd need a buff, though.
