Overview:
Damaged ships will attempt to emergency jump away from danger. This is not automatically enabled. Open comms with an individual ship to enable Emergency Jump Drive or open comms with a fleet commander to enable for all ships in their fleet at once.
The little details:
Unzip the file to your /extensions/ folder e.g. /extensions/chillejump/
Having Mod Support API mod installed enables two new options: Enable player-piloted ship to emergency jump, and set the hull damage threshold to a custom value.
Damaged ships will attempt to emergency jump away from danger. This is not automatically enabled. Open comms with an individual ship to enable Emergency Jump Drive or open comms with a fleet commander to enable for all ships in their fleet at once.
The little details:
- Only medium, large and extra large ships have jump drives. Small boys are S.O.L.
- When hull reaches 25%, the jump drive takes 5 seconds to spool and fire before jumping. This means capital ships will be relatively safe and medium ships under heavy fire are probably toast.
- There is a 5-minute recharge before another emergency jump can occur.
- Since it's an emergency jump, plotting isn't exactly accurate. Emergency jump points are random. Sometimes you might be unlucky and jump to a worse spot.
- Jumps are within the same system only.
- After a successful jump, the ship will automatically repair at the closest available option if possible before returning to orders.
- Adding a subordinate to a fleet or ship that has Emergency Jump Drive enabled will automatically enable it for that subordinate. I lied in the Overview.
- Nobody gave you, the player, jump codes. This only works for AI controlled ships. Womp, womp.
