From what I've read, Aaron Hall read these forums sometimes. Since I don't have his email and he must already have a lot to read, I'll post it here.
I'm a big fan of Battlestar Galactica, and fell in love the first time I saw the jump drive in action. In SE4, star trek and star wars mods were created, but because of warp points, the universe never felt complete. I'm not necessrely asking for a new way to travel directly, but more of a way to edit sme parts of the game.
If we take the battlestar jumps, from how I see it, it would simply need a script and a new option in the right-click menu.
The ability to add something to the right click menu or a buton (or menu of butons) in the right down menu would be a great addition.
The second thing is the ability to script and affect ship status and/or position.
The way I see this kindg of jump, you actually select your ship, then right-click and select Jump. You then select the destination system and you jump. The destination sector would be random and, if you were on a planet's sector, you'd have a chance of crashing into it. If in a sector where an enemy fleet is waiting, you automatically engage.
I'm not asking to implement all of this new jump technology, but simply to implement the necessary things to make it work
in thi case, the menu addition ahd the ability to affect a ships position by scripts.
