New Travel Mode : I don't understand why do you to make so complicated.
1) Example:Ship ( Privateer ): 1 Advanced Reactor ( 15 E / Minute ) + 5 Engine
Can do ( In Theory) :
- Undock -> Approach ( Gate ) -> Jump -> Approach ( Gate ) -> Jump -> Approach ( Gate ) : ( Dangerous Position we are in space)
- Undock -> Approach ( Gate ) -> Jump -> Approach ( Gate ) -> Approach ( Planet ) - > Dock : ( 1 Jump + Safe position )
In Fact with Energy ( 200 Energy )-> Undock -> Approach (53E)( Gate ) -> Jump (60E) -> Approach (53E)( Planet ) -> Dock
At the end : 166 Energy Used and only 1 Jump : Need to wait 11 minutes to recover energy.
To travel 9 Jumps : we need : 9 * 11 minutes = 1h39 and 1h39 to return.
2) Example:Ship ( Trucker ): 1 Advanced Reactor ( 15 E / Minute ) +1 Engine ( Only 2 equipments slot)
Station -> Planet : Undock -> Approach ( Planet ) (60E)-> Land ( Planet )
At the end : we need to wait 5 minutes to come back on station or another planet in the same sector.
Impossible to Jump and to dock with a trucker ( Need to wait 5 minutes in space )
REALLY REALLY I DON T UNDERSTAND YOUR GOAL. MAY BE YOU CAN EXPLAIN US.
