Unfocused jump drive question

Post by Cursed Ghost » Sun, 23. Mar 14, 22:54

Hi all

I’m curious in X3TC what use is the UFJD after capping the Aran? Is it possible to cap the Aran more than once ?

Yes, you can capture more than one in TC (but not AP). There can also be other useful things in these sectors, such as nividium and spaceflies.

In X3TC? Yes. X3AP has the one Aran limit.

You can bind a key for UFJD. One keypress to activate jumpdrive. That is quicker than regular jump, which requires selection of a Gate too. For emergency escape every second counts.

Those sectors are not empty. Ships to kill, loot to collect. Random yes, but a slim chance is better than no chance at all.

What if you were chased by someone, who jumps after you? Could you trap them into witch-space?

Also, UFJD sectors often have Asteroids. Great for Mobile Mining, not so much for Stations (since the sector is destroyed when you leave).

Easiest with the Aran.


Also good for getting rid of enemies that spawn at your location, but you'd rather not kill yourself....
