Jump point (gameplay mechanic)

rdfs:comment

Without them, Faster-than-Light (FTL) travel would be impossible. Any efforts to get to other systems would take decades, if not centuries, even with ‘Quantum Drives’ that can accelerate to 0.2c (20% the Speed of Light). All known spacefaring species are restricted by this limitation, with no technological alternatives to achieve FTL currently known, and so use the Jump Points. Each discovered system has at least one Jump Point, but many have multiple connections forming a network making up the known regions of the galaxy.

Without them, Faster-than-Light (FTL) travel would be impossible. Any efforts to get to other systems would take decades, if not centuries, even with ‘Quantum Drives’ that can accelerate to 0.2c (20% the Speed of Light). All known spacefaring species are restricted by this limitation, with no technological alternatives to achieve FTL currently known, and so use the Jump Points. The anatomy of a Jump Point consist of two major parts that form the wormhole. The pair of anomalies that exists within normal space-time, the Jump Point itself or Jump Gate as it is sometimes referred to, one located in the system of origin and the other in the destination system. As well as the tunnel through ‘Interspace’, or warp tunnel, that connects the two points. Each discovered system has at least one Jump Point, but many have multiple connections forming a network making up the known regions of the galaxy. Only a small fraction of all the systems within the galaxy are connected through the known Jump Point network. Some are thought to lack Jump Points entirely and are rendered unreachable. Many, however are simply undiscovered. This fact has lead many individuals, corporations, and governments to actively pursue space exploration endeavors to scour the limits of known space looking for these untouched avenues. All of them hoping to find an undiscovered Jump Point that will lead to new worlds and untouched spoils for them to plunder, or sequentially sell the invaluable data of its location to the highest bidder.__TOC__
