Jump Drives bug?

[prct164]

Not sure where to put this.

I've been playing a game in survial mode. I set it up so I was 25000km from the Earth like world (ELW). Put a single jump drive on my ship, hoping to explore while I had a long journey home. Powered up the Jump Drive, It told me that it could only manage 468km about 1.8% of the total distance. I hit the jump button and jumped the whole 25000km in one go.
I got a bit confused so turned the ship around and locked onto a GPS from my mining earlier in the game. made the whole 25000km again.

Basically I wondering if the jump drives are bugged or if I missing something in the jump comfirmation screen.

Edit: I've just tried aiming at the (ELW) and using the blind jump. Only went 473km, Tried using the GPS to get to the (ELW) and it took me straight there.

Seems to be a problem with using GPS.

Has anyone else seen this?

In the control panel (the k menu) , you can set the distance for a blind jump.
It should be a slider ranging from 0% (5 km) to 100% (25000).
Your drive may be set to a short jump. This setting is overriden if there is a target coordinate.

The jump drive is set to maximum. The weight of my ship is 5,280,964 kg. Using only 1 jump drive, it should only go 473.43km. The confirmation screen looks roughly like this


PLEASE CONFIRM


Jump destination: Earth Orbit
Distance to the proximity of the coordinate: 24,930.00 kilometers
Achievable percentange of the jump: 1.90% (473.43 kilometers)
Weight of transported mass: 5,280,964.00 kg
Operational jump drives: 1/1
Seated crew on board: 1/1


However, when I use the blind jump; The distance to the proximity of the coordinate is 473.43 km.

The point I'm asking about basically is; how the jump drive is suddenly acting like it cane go anywhere no matter the distance in one jump with only one jump drive.

I'm just really perplexed by it. I've never had a single jump drive capable of infinate distance before and it kind-of takes the fun out of making a long journey.

Hm...
That is perplexing. I'm thinking I should do some experiments of my own...
Sorry I couldn't help you.

I'm not sure about what you are saying.

1- You can jump 24,930.00 kilometers using only one jump drive with GPS coods?

2- And blind jump is only 473.43 kilometers?

edit
My mothership got 50 Jump Drives to be able to jump from earth to mars.

That's fine, just wondering if i'm the only person that it's happening for.

That's correct for both point's

I've just tried a waypoint jump with a distance of 61,850.54 km. Using the same setup.
It takes all the fun out of flying.

Do you use Mods? if yes it may be the cause.

Tho I will double check on my side... bbl ... testing

I'm only using Midspace's exploration ship scan mod.

[Dan2D3D]

All good here, tho I add to modify the Blid Jump settings cause on the default it's set to use 33%

Setting it to 100% = 2,000.00 kilometers >>> depending on the mass of the ship.

Set the Blind to 100%

Just tested in my game after reading this thread, with and without mods (result was identical), and can confirm it's not just the OP. A blind jump works as it should, but setting the destination to a GPS coordinate results in the ship jumping all the way there, even if it shouldn't be able to make it the entire distance in one jump.

Here's a couple screenshots I grabbed during my test (I should note that, given the number of jump drives, and the total mass of my ship, the trip should have taken a couple jumps)...

Jump confirmation screen (showing that my ship should not be able to make it in a single jump):

(GPS waypoint marks the location of a station I've been working on. For this test, I jumped away, and then back again.)

After one jump (ship ended up less than 3km out from the station):

I should point out that this is in my survival game - did not test in creative. Also, it's worth mentioning that jumping to a waypoint was working correctly a few days ago when I made that trip out from the moon by the earth-type planet. That was a 6,000+ km trip that took 4 jumps, all using the GPS waypoint as the destination.

Guys! I got it now and it's a always

I will move to bug reports

Keen Team,

We can use one Jump Drive to jump from Earth to Alien planet in one jump that usually needs more than one just by using the GPS coords.

Here is the ship I've used for the test :

Thanks everyone. I've not lost my mind from doing far to much mining then! lol. Must be something broken during the last updates.
