A JUMP DRIVE WOULD GO ALONG WAY

I have seen lot's of mod's out there but not a long awaited one that would have everyone useing.

Most server's dont run mod's i know i dont but! , i tell you's this if i heard there was a jump drive mod well i would be right in there getting it and converting my own server to use it all the time , i know this is a very important add to this game being official or 3rd party i would like to see a jump drive in the equipment dock to buy.
So you can buy this as hardware , please anyone that can work on this please do do as soon as possible , it shouldent be to hard but i know it will be alot harder than making a ship , but please bring this out some how.

IAM A ELITE & ELITE2 FRONTIER FAN

And let's admit it , if it wasent for ELITE freelancer would never had been made or even come up into the mind's of them who made it , so microsoft do us all a favor and give us a freelancer to realy be proud of.

Thank's
Osprey.....

im not sure if anyones nade a mountable intersystem jump drive, as it would involve pinpointing where you jump to in the system and thats would need some sort of waypoints, but im not sure i havent looked at it, if im wrong please tell me id be intersted 2 hear if neones made it work.

Oh there's an idea...let's jump everywhere and eliminate some of that travel time, so we can go from Omicron Alpha to NY in one jump! When we can make that much off of Cardamine runs in under a minute, we'll be filthy rich! 0\/\//\/1g3!!!!!!!1111!!!11111

Those long journeys are supposed to be there. It's how you're supposed to get the feel of how big the FL universe is.

The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

A jump drive would be an awsome addition. You wouldn't need to waste time docking while your getting raped by bounty hunters

Imo I think the whole freelancer universe was connected in that you could fly from system to system with just cruise engines alone since if you check out the Freelancer site you'll see that there was mention of a system being connected by Trade lanes alone in the Borderworld section.Anyway what I'm getting at is that if it was connected like that then maybe a warp drive would bve plausible but since everything is connected by Jump gates & holes alone it makes a warp drive pretty useless,imho.

it would make things way to easy to have a jump drive. Wouldnt be much of a point of the tradelanes or anything..not to mention no challenge going thru hostile teritory.
