Blink Drive

Description
Description
The blink drive is a military jump drive capable of atmospheric maneuvers and instantaneous travel over short distances. Here are a list of features:

- Charges over time to hold up to 3 jump charges
- Each charge takes 6 minutes to complete
- Jump distance is fixed at 1000m for large grids and 500m for small grids
- Jump avoidance options can be set allowing players to jump in atmosphere

Note: The above features can be customized (See "Custom Configurations")

Flavor Text
The Interplanetary Accords signed in 2072, placed strong restrictions on commercially built jump drives. The purpose of these restrictions where to limit behaviors that could cause catastrophic damage in the hands of rogue entities.

As is customary of the military, these limitations were ignored. Many prototypes were built, most ending in spectacular light shows for the enjoyment and horror of the scientist stationed on Collisto. By 2076, Prototype 38G had became the defacto design for all military vessels due to it's simple, rugged design, fast recharge and instantaneous reaction time. It was this last feature that inspired it's name.

Custom Configurations
1. Load up a world with the mod installed. 2. Open up windows explorer on your PC 3. Navigate to %AppData%\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<userid>\<worldSaveName>\Storage\<blinkdriveid>\BlinkDriveConfig.cfg

Same problem as TheRebornAce. Game hard crashes when safe zones (maybe related to shield mods idk).

There seems to be an audio-related conflict between this mod and an active Safe Zone sound when trying to jump causing a hard crash.

When there are no active safe zones then the ship is able to without issues. Once the active zone is turned on the game crashes.

Vice-versa, if an active safe zone is already active and a jump is attempted the game also crashes.

I recall another mod had this same issue sometime ago in regards to the Safe Zone audio (Modern Star Weapons Vanilla+). May want to reach out to that modder to see how they fixed it.

I'm so hyped that the blink drive mod finally has a blink drive!

Error! > A ready-built BlinkDrive is charging without a power source!

Blinking into a grid causes a permanent softlock.
Can't pause the game or anything, I have to kill it.

Given there hasn't been an update, I assume the problem DragonLord2000 (Mario) had still exists, are there any other issues as well, or does it still work?

Hello , i think there has been a problem with the last keen updates.
If you dock to a NPC station in this savezone you can flash out the stationary grid and get a savezone protection for your grid.
Only after you have assigned a new id to fixship it is vulnerable again.
I have set all options on my server so that it should not happen .
Apparently the config of the mod is not always distributed to the client.
I hope you can fix it.
thanks
