Jump Drive Suggestion

Jump Drive Suggestion

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi - I just wanted to throw out my idea regarding a "jump drive" or whatever name would best fit it.

My thought is this: when a ship has a jump drive, you can activate it, and it creates a radius of hexes, and you can pick ANYWHERE on the map to go, but it will randomly appear in one of the hexes within the radius. If you happen to "jump" into a hex with a sun, or planet, or asteroid, you lose the ship(s). Further refinement and development of this technology decreases the range of hexes (i.e. 5x5 hex range instead of 6x6).

 

Anyway, just an idea - though I think it would be super-cool to have :D

The problem i have with single use paired gates is that if i want to move across a vast distance its ok i need to go to this gate get out now go with this one get out now go in this one it just now i have five gates at this point which one brought me to my destination and which one sent me away from it?

It would also add a lot more gates then is truely neccessery

 

i think the biggest difference between the ideas is 

the network idea promotes faster travel across an empire

the paired gates idea is effective for a single line crossing a vast distance
