| - | A **Jump Drive** is a built-in system for [[eve:ships:capitals|Capital Ships]], [[eve:ships:battleships:black_ops|Black Ops]] Battleships, and [[Jump Freighters]]. It is an important system aboard these ships that allows them to move between systems without the use of [[Stargate]]s (which Capital Ships are unable to use). The Jump Drive allows Capital Ships to move directly between star systems, so it is possible to cover distances that would require a great number of jumps through the Stargate network to be covered in one or two activations of the Jump Drive. To use the Jump drive one must have either an active [[eve:sovereignty:infrastructure_hub:cynosural_field_generators|Cynosural Generator Array]] or an active [[training:game_mechanics:cynosural_field|Cynosural Field]] to jump to | + | A **Jump Drive** is a built-in system for [[eve:ships:capitals|Capital Ships]], [[eve:ships:battleships:black_ops|Black Ops]] Battleships, and [[eve:ships:capitals:freighters|Jump Freighters]].

| - | Current Jump Drive technology in EVE has a limited range. The fuel requirement for a jump is proportional to the distance the ship is traveling (measured in Light Years, shortened to ly). In other words, the further you jump, the more ISK it costs. (Fuel usage can be reduced by the '''Jump Fuel Conservation''' skill, therefore reducing costs) | + | Current Jump Drive technology in EVE has a limited range.

| - | Different ship classes have different jump ranges with [[Carrier|Carriers]] having the longest range, [[Black Op|Black Ops]] Battleships and [[Titans]] the shortest. Jump range can be increased by the pilots '''Jump Drive Calibration''' skill, to a maximum of 2.25 times the base value at skill Level V. Training Jump Drive Calibration to Level V is seen as extremely useful and valuable, as coverage grows exponentially as radius increases. Training from IV to V is not as vital for Carrier pilots, especially those who are working with Dreadnoughts, as Carriers have the longest jump range even at Jump Drive Calibration IV. | + | Different ship classes have different jump ranges with [[eve:ships:capitals#carriers|Carriers]] having the longest range, [[eve:ships:battleships:black_ops|Black Ops]] Battleships and [[eve:ships:capitals:titans|Titans]] the shortest.

| - | Jump capable ships are normally only able to operate in low security (0.4-0.1) or 0.0 space. This is because CONCORD does not allow the use of a Cynosural Field Generator (see below) in systems of 0.5 security or higher, effectively keeping them out of empire space. The exception are [[Jump Freighter|Jump Freighters]] and Black Ops Battleships as they may use gates. | + | Jump capable ships are normally only able to operate in low security (0.4-0.1) or 0.0 space.

| There are a few pilots found in High Security space with Carriers and Dreadnoughts as, in the distant past, the two types of ship could be built in High Security Stations, though this was later patched out. | There are a few pilots found in High Security space with Carriers and Dreadnoughts as, in the distant past, the two types of ship could be built in High Security Stations, though this was later patched out. | ||

| -Right click either the Cynosural Beacon in your capital navigation window or the Cynosural Beacon broadcast in your fleet window and choose **Jump to <object>**. If you happen to join a fleet **after** a cyno is lit just ask the person who lit it to rebroadcast the Cynosural Beacon and you will be able to jump to it. You can also right-click on your capacitor and navigate to the Jump To sub-menu, which shows all Cynosural Fields that your capital is in range to jump to.

| - | -Upon loading the destination system take note that you have a 10 second [[Session_Change_Timers|session timer]] which will prevent you from docking. Though your ship is visible '''it is invulnerable''' as long as you do not activate a module or start moving in any direction. You can press Ctrl and Space at the same time if you screwed up your Cynosural Beacon's placement on a station, and caused your ship to bounce off the station's model, without affecting the temporary invulnerability. | + | -Upon loading the destination system take note that you have a 10 second [[training:game_mechanics:session_timer|session timer]] which will prevent you from docking.
