Jump drives for capitol ships?

[Sabaithal]

Noticed something new to the 4.00 update a while back, but didn't really think about it further. I noticed that certain ships, when close to a jump-gate seem to appear and disappear via big electrical looking effects when near the gates.

Now, I just witnessed one of my own ships doing this when near a gate. This a new feature I don't know about, or is this just here to smooth out AI pathfinding?

I think it's just to help with pathfinding. When I hitched a ride on one of my L freighters it did this and just appeared near the gate on the other side.

But, it's worth noting that it didn't do it at every gate, just a few of them

I really liked the jumpdrives in Rebirth. The further you jump, the more fuel you use so you need a supply setup if you're going into enemy territory. You can also drop a nav beacon and your ships can warp to that instead of a gate.

The downside was you had to go sector by sector to warp long distances. I would remove that and just make the fuel use the penalty for going further.

We are able to teleport our HQ,
so we maybe se jumpdrives in future.

Also Liked Jumpdrives In the Old X Parts

Honestly i dont get it why some people are so against it .its usefull in Rly slow ass capital ships and opens new possibilities in the game .

I rly would like to have one in a Carrier.It would make them Usefull in the game

There are Jumpdrive Mod´s out there but the are hopelessly outdatet with the current version of X4.

The idea of them using a jump beacon isnt so bad .Also its costs more energy cells based on the ship size and Jump distance and must be Researched .

It should be in the game .

also written here: We can move our entire HQ around in the game but not our ships ? Oh common.....

Jump drives would be at least more lore friendly.

Yeah, I mean that's really the main use of a carrier. Gathering up a bunch of little fighters that can't jump themselves and insta-warping across distance.
