Re: Re: Re: Re:[GZG] [FT] Tactical jump
Unless you are changing the FTL entry mechanic
To summarize:
--Tacjumps do not take 6 hours to cycle. They should take a few turns, so as
to be long enough that an outmatched opponent can't just immediately jump
away (otherwise you'd never fight a battle), but short enough to make it
worthwhile to commit to a jump (ie you won't be trapped for six hours while
your drive cycles).
--Tacjumps cover fairly short distances--lightminutes, not lightyears.
--No damage from jumping out
--Damage from jumping in only if you overlap another ship--no definition of
"overlap" yet
--Some scattering on arrival, enough to discourage "everyone arrives 3mu
away from each other" but not all over the board
