Hi, this is a Jump Drive MFD inspired by the FTL drives from the show Battlestar Galactica. Make sure to read the readme a Doc/Jump Drive, or you will probably not get very far. Send questions/comments/concerns to [email protected]. Enjoy!

Might be nice if it required a charging time between jumps. Played with it a little and you have the ability to make micro jumps to refine your approach, A charge time or some sort of penalty would make it more important to ensure you are more careful with your math or you might crash waiting for your next micro jump. Just an idea for your next version

I wanted to get the mfd out to try and get feedback. I will probably release another version after the weekend when I have time to add it to the code.

so far it seems relatively bug free unless you crash into a planet. Then at least on my system it crashes the game which is fine with me as I deserve it for making the mistake. I have jumped from from orbit to with in a few feet of the ground successfully, and crashed the ship not the program so it seems to only be a problem if you actually impact the surface.

The game crashing is pretty common from what I've heard. On my system the ship your in suddenly starts traveling in a random direction at about 1 parsec/sec. You can do the same thing by burning towards the ground and speedy time to like 10000.
