Jump Drive API For Scripts

Warlord shared this feedback 5 years ago

The jump drive currently does not have any API available to scripts that would allow a script to tell it to jump or to give it a GPS to jump to. Scripts can currently turn it on or off, whether it should recharge and increase or decrease the blind jump distance but not actually jump itself which is "odd".

I think it would be a great idea if scripts could not only make the jump drive activate but also set it's GPS coord like they can currently do with the remote control block.

They are deliberately disallowing automated jumps for balance reasons. The jump action is explicitly written that way.

I haven't seen any real explanation of their reasoning for this, I don't see what the issue would be.

You could create a base that teleports itself away at the first sign of anything unusual, for starters.

You could but if they balance jump drives properly so that rather then 10 seconds jump time for all grids, the time goes on the grid mass it would be far more balanced.
