What can we be expecting as far as jump distances out of ships? Is a Gladius only going to be able to perform one jump while a Sabre can perform 3? What about the larger ships?asked by Folka

TL;DRIt's too early to be definitive, but ships will have different jump ranges based on quantum fuel and drive efficiency, with smaller ships probably needing to refuel sooner than bigger ones.

It's too early to be definitive on this but yes obviously different ships will have the ability to have different ranges. Quantum fuel is a separate resource to the boost/afterburner fuel and obviously the amount of Quantum fuel you have combined with the efficiency of the drive you have which essentially is a modified Quantum Drive and the distance you're going to have to do in the jump through the wormhole will affect how far you can go. The smaller ships that have jump drives probably will not be able to go as far without having to re-fuel or collect some more fuel, bigger ones will be able to carry on going for much further distances. We're expecting a fair amount of gameplay long term for players that want to be flying their Starfarer around and selling fuel to people or there will be refuelling stations and all the rest of the stuff. But I would say the smaller ships have a much shorter range before they have to refuel versus the bigger ones, so there you go!
