Where Do You Get A Jumpdrive?

[The Shadow Rose]

Just wondering.

If this is anything like ev nova that i played then going down a story route will end the game once i finish it and i would prefer to do everything and explore everywhere before i ended my game.

So where do you get them besides a story route?

There are 3 ways that I know of pre-story:

1. Build a large fleet with nothing but lasers and try to kill a quarg ship, then loot its jump drive. This is probably the most reasonable approach, though it will be expensive with lost ships. But you do get a set of skylances, making any furture fights a peice of cake. Afterwards just farm the same ships I mention in number 2.

They are found in the far southeast mostly, just southeast of tarzed. The bigger black ship(whose name eludes me), and the smaller yellow wardragon are what you are looking for.

2. Be exceedingly lucky and have a Korath Raider ship appear at one of the sydicate worlds near those southernmost 6-7 jumpdrive-only systems just east of their space. This has happened to me only twice though.

3. Edit one into your inventory. I don't get into this kind of stuff, mostly because I will screw it up even with step-by-step instructions lol. So you'd have to ask someone else how.

It doesn't end after completing the story, but you actually get a Jump Drive if you play the story (given the right decisions, I believe, and it just from what I read on the forums most people make those decisions that lead to the Jump Drive + another surprise).

If you wanted to get Jump Drives right now, then go to the eastern part of your map in Syndicate space and make sure to bring a few heavy warships. You've probably noticed those unreachable systems in the core area. Those are occupied by a race known as the Korath, which will occasionally send Raiders into Syndicate space fitted with Jump Drives. So if you stay in the eastern most systems close to the core for a while, these Raiders will eventually spawn. You can disable and plunder them for their Jump Drives, among other things.

Spoiler tags would be helpful.

Sorry, I keep forgetting to do that, most forums I use don't have it, and I kind of forgot it was a secret.

Also, hopefully Nova will work out, even though this potato likely wont be able to run it.

Same here. I'd probably need to get a better potato to be able to run Nova, or whatever CCP decide to name it. xD

Durax the system has a higher chance of Raiders so it is a good way of getting the first jump drive edit: without the story.

I figure someone should say this:

This is a story driven game, it is highly recommended that you get the jump drive by means of the story. It will help you obtain other technology that will, in turn, help you be better prepared for what you find outside of human space.

That said, yea, it is very possible to catch and farm korath raiders - as others have stated.

I mean, standard disclaimer ♥♥♥♥, dont want newbs who are lurking to think its a good idea to skip the story.

since when did ev:n's storys end the game? you can keep playing after finishing an arc. =O

There are some things 1 ship, 3 weapons, 1 outfit (the other outfit is jump drive but you can get it somewhere else), and 1 outfit or 1 weapon, depends on choice, which can only be unlocked through the story, but whether they are useful to you or not is up to you. The game doesn't really end (in a sense) after the main story because there is another story even if it is not finished yet.

And even in that next story there is something that you'll really want unlocked, unless you're already playing endless skylance.

Four weapons actually through the main story, and one outfit or one weapon and two outfits and an engine depending on choice.

Y'all forgetting some stuff.

Ship 1: Dreadnought
Ship 2: Skein
Ship 3: Boxwing
Ship 4: Two different Barbs
Weapon 1: Flamethrower
Weapon 2: Plasma Turret
Weapon 3: Electron Beam
Weapon 4: Electron Turret
Outfit 1: Stack Core
Outfit 2: X1050 Engines
Outfit 3: Jump Drive

Choice Outfit 1: A single Cloaking Device (Reconcilliation)
Choice Outfit 2: Nukes (Checkmate)
Choice Outfit 3 and 4: S-270 and S-920 shield regenerators (Checkmate)

I still haven't done checkmate, is the Jump Drive Reconcilliation exclusive?

Sort of. You have to take one from the Pug in checkmate.

Sad because some of his listed outfits that were intended to be exclusive to the campaign are actually available through fighting marauder warships.

Blame Local for that.
