The Hornet is described as not being designed for long runs. Will it be able to perform a jump? Will it have a jump drive?asked by Hot Spur

Yeah, dude, come on. What good would the game be if you couldn't have a jump drive? Every ship out there is going to have a jump drive. But what will happen is a lot of your capabilities will depend on how you've outfitted your ship. So, yes is the answer to your question. A good, solid yes.
