Here's something that I'm kinda taking from Elite and No Man's Sky... We need the ability to jump short distances; especially in space when POIs are 20+ km away. I recommend the following: - A new device, the Hyperdrive - Would be a CV only device - Possibly a couple of tiers, Tier 1: Jump to within 8km of the target. Tier 2: Jump within 4km of the target. - For balance, you could make the hyperdrive consume a hefty amount of normal fuel per use, causing you to keep a good stock of fuel on board. - Can be a fairly expensive device to craft I think this would be a fantastic addition, and will cut down much of the tedium of travelling from point to point in space.
Agreed! Probably the same rules as the Warp drive, you can't engage it if you've been in combat in the last so many seconds. If I imagine the visuals of a jump, I imagine there being a nice warp sound effect, with a little screen shake, and the ship still physically traverses the space, just really fast, so you see the distance number drop rapidly over the course of 3 seconds or something. Make it so!
