I'm perplexed... What good would a Gladiator be if it doesn't have jump capability? There are no carriers for sale, right? As far as I understand it every system has jump points which normally require some kind of jump ability to go through. However, in the more built up areas of the galaxy there are jump gates constructed and any ship should be able to go through those. You should still be able to cruise the galaxy in a gladiator, just can't go visit the fringes without hitching a ride. That is my understanding as well. In one of the in game fictions the main character takes a p-52 (small fighter you cant ever mount a jump drive on) through a jump game and comes out the other side alive. So they have to have some sort of jump gates for non jump equipped ships.

So they have to have some sort of jump gates for non jump equipped ships. If i'm not mistaken, what it was done in that case was to follow the "jump opening" created by another ship, not that there was somekind of gate that allow you to make a jump without a jump drive.........................................................uhmmm, lets all jump together! . I don't recall reading of any kind of gate that allow you to jump without a jump drive. So far, with the exception of the P-52 Merlin, all ships are JUMP capable. But not all ships are equiped by default with a JUMP drive that allow them to perfom jumps. For example, i have a Freelancer that is by default equiped with a jump drive. But my 325a is not equiped with a jump drive, the 315p is the only ship of the 300i series equiped with a jump drive as base equipment. If you have a ship that its not by default equiped with a jump drive, you will have to buy one inside the game for that ship, and expend one of the upgrades slots for that.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/12827-Cassandras-Tears-Issue-8The P52’s cockpit was getting pretty ragged. That last shot should have cut his ship in half but somehow it held up. Cal knew he had one shot at this. He glanced at the jump-point. A Caterpillar was just about to cross. Cal hit a retro-burn, twisted and dove back down. The Phoenix swept past him. He punched it and fell in behind the Caterpillar. The jump-point opened and the Caterpillar disappeared inside. “This is really dumb.” He muttered and dove into the jump-point through the wake before it closed. So I guess you are right. The caterpillar made the jump point and then he followed it though. But if a ship can make a jump point a station could too. Especially if it makes a jump point that has to be flown through. Or... it could be that was written long before they had a definitive on how it would really work.

Added a countif for the timezones so we can see how many players in each zone, and to count peoples 'high' choice of preference of game style.

As it is does not help much to know who might be available to fly with. For example my time zone is -3GMT and could fly usually, between 22:00 and 24:00. Fridays i could stay later. But i can't tell who could be available on that time frame since i don't know the time window each one have disposable to play. Not sure if it's clear what i'm saying.

It's just a rough idea of the amount of people in timezones that's all.

Ooooh...a SimHQ-SC server? That'd be the cat's meow.

I've got my initial pledge coming with at Constellation, and it would be awesome to have a simhq fleet indeed, although to be honest I'm more and more considering playing SC only on a private servers. I'm less and less convinced that public servers will be fun with the usual crowd trying to build massive ganking groups out there to make the game time of anyone else miserable - I've heard enough about how it works in EVE, and I saw a bit of it happening in Pirates of the Burning Sea, and I'm not looking forward to seeing that kind of stuff in SC. At least in this case we'll have the single player campaign and private servers to use if things go really wrong - I sure hope they stay true to their word and make private servers easy to use as well as easy to mod. Rest assured people will buy the game JUST to gank and ruin peoples day just like they did in DayZ with the COD DM-like beach spawns.

Ahh CLOD never in the history of Simming has so much been promised and so little given.
However I want to thank Team Fusion for keeping the Dream Alive.
