In 2325, ships use different technologies for space travel.

Your engine can be upgraded to use the Neuter-fields effect and make a hypergalatic jump. The technology about this has been shared in emergency by the Federation.

Non-upgraded drives have only 20 % chances to succeed with their default configuration.

Also, if they have no fuel/energy, the chances are 0 %, and if they are on low fuel/energy (less than 10 %), the chances are 10 % only.

To increase your chances, you must give the Upgrade Hyperdrive order.

This action now requires a random time of 250 + (3d50 time), minus Cybernetics and Mechanics grades of your crew.

Once completed, your success chances for a jump will be increased by about half the Cybernetics + Mechanics grade of your crew.

Your crew will send you a message. This message will include the exact “success chances” estimated by the ship systems for a hypergalactic jump.

Every crew has a maximum output for this, and can accept to do this action a second time.

You can increase your chances again by doing it a second time. In this case, it can again get up, the maximum being: 20 + (0.75 * your total Cybernetics + Mechanics grades) (the maximum being 100 % chances)

You can of course send several persons to do it, but the last person to execute it will adjust the maximal output to his own “maximal” knowledge.
