What this is about
Quantum travel is the jump across long distances. Without it you fly for hours. With it the same distance takes minutes.
The sequence
- Set a destination – on the map. A waypoint then appears on your visor.q1
- Spool the drive – the quantum drive has to spin up fully before it can jump.q1 There is a dedicated function for it.q2
- Align – turn the ship onto the marker until it is calibrated.q1
- Jump – the trigger function is held, not tapped.q2
- Arrive – the ship decelerates automatically.
What you should know
- After the jump the drive needs a cooldown; how long depends on the distance according to the game text.q1
- Spooling draws power from other systems, above all weapons and shields.q1
- If the destination is obstructed, the game says no jump is possible – then travel somewhere else first and continue from there.q1
- A jump can be cancelled on the way, but only before the deceleration phase.q1
- In a group one player can initiate the jump for everyone if the others are aligned and spooled.q1
We quote no ranges and no fuel consumption. Both depend on the ship and the drive, and reliable values are not in our data.
Align first, then spool – that way you do not wait twice.
