Jump Gate

Also known as a mass driver, gravity drive, or launch tube, this giant station can generate 656 Gs of force on any ship with an artificial mass block.

This is capable of accelerating even large ships, such as my build of the E:D Anaconda (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1719006453), to 600m/s in less than a second, far outstripping any native acceleration a ship like that could ever realistically have.

At 100m across, it is as big as can be made without incurring functional issues, and is big enough to accommodate almost any ship one would typically find in a survival world.

It comes with built-in indicator lights and power automation, and runs entirely off of solar power - no massive uranium consumption.

This automation also keeps the gate working, even in the face of Keen's attempts to break gravity-assist constructions.

However, to accomplish this, the gate requires one mod, to lower the power consumption priority of gravity generators, from 5/9 ("Utility") to 7/9 ("Gyro"). Without the mod, the programmable block automation script will end up cutting power to the entire station.
