Small Grid Jump Drive with ~50km range.

I like the fact that you can't travel across the whole universe with a small fighter. You need a large ship with a jump drive to carry you there. That's fine and I don't want this to be changed.


But it would be very nice to have a small grid jump drive (2x3x3 Blocks) with a maximum range of let's say 50km. This way I could for example leap from asteroid to asteroid and scan them for ores or get a small amount of a specific ore with a small grid mining ship. I could also jump to a nearby station of an ally beeing attacked and help him out with my fighter.


A small jump drive with very low range would close this gap of missing gameplay aspects.


Example mod, that I used for a very long time:

We need this!

Newer mod probably works better.

I think 2 small grid jump drives would be good.


1st would be somewhat large, about the size of the small grid large H2 tank. It would have 10% range of the large grid jump drive, giving it a max range of 200 Km, and devour one small grid battery (or use jump fuel like another suggestion suggested).


2nd would be a micro jump drive, the size of the small grid small H2 tank. It would have 2.5% range of the large grid jump drive (25% of the small grid large jump drive), with a max potential jump of 50 Km, and devour one small grid small battery.


Actual battery/fuel consumption could be tweaked for balance, but I think this would be a great solution.
